The Small Pleasures

seeing Drummerboy at weekends when he brings home his washing
-
Dorothy Sayers in particular and detective stories in general
-
walking in the forest next to the chateau
-
an uninterrupted night's sleep
-
raspberries
-
Porridge chasing her noisy squeaky plastic chicken leg round the living room
-
cheeky monkeys (head massages)
-
my gospel singing group clapping their hands in rhythm exactly on the beat (2 and 4 of course!) and singing the phrase exactly right
-
fresh eggs from the chooks
-
wandering about internet finding new blogs and new music and friends
-
watching low brow tele with Darling D on a Saturday night, and cheering as creepy crawlies land on creepy "celebrities"
-
my autist students literally capering about because they are pleased to see me
-
tasting another of Mysweet's cooking experiments
-
drinking from the glass that my Dad engraved rather shakily with our family's initial. I was the last of the line before I married, and now no-one has that name that I know of as my relation...

A list to make me smile, especially your autist students...

A lovely list! And I bet you hadn't stopped to think how much you enjoyed Porridge chasing her chicken leg!

Aw, Lucy took my comment. Well, fair enough.

Do enjoy Dorothy, too.

A lovely list. What l. and z. said too.

Fantastic list and it's always nice to stop and think about those things from time to time.

What a sweet and simple list. And it's all free (or low-cost)! So important to remember when people keep talking about "how bad things are"...

A list to make me feel happy. I especially loved the glass!
