  1. I'm not talking about the major pleasures in life - we all know what they are - but the little things which give you a momentary boost. Like:
    * Poking a wood fire with a poker
    * Popping bubblewrap in your fingers
    * On a scorching hot day, sitting in the shade
    * Sliding into a hot bath with plenty of time to spare
    * Opening a new hardback book and reading the first sentence
    * Switching on the Christmas tree lights and they work

    * Seeing the first butterfly in spring
    * Popping a champagne cork

  4. Bird song. The crisp smell in the air on an autumn morning. Listening to the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet by Craig Armstrong. Making love to a beautiful woman and holding her in your arms. Having a duvet day and switching all mobile communication off.

  7. Corrected for you ;-)

    Having any decent conversation with my son, it happens so rarely, as does watching a funny tv program we all get belly aching at

  17. Reading on the bog
    A good scratch
    Turning a key in a well oiled lock and feeling it go 'clunk'
    A good stretch when you yawn
    Mopping up the last bit of your dinner with a piece of bread
    Toast
    A good shit
    A kiss from your most loved one
    A smile from a pretty stranger

  18. Sitting in my Taxi on Douglas Seafront (Isle of Man) waiting for passengers to come out at 5am, watching the Sun come up over the bay. Breathtaking.

    Sadly I don't live there now, but that will live with me forever.

  19. Being thanked when I've held a door open for someone, visiting my sons grave as I remember the years of good times, the smell of creosote, the M25 on a good day, beautiful morning sunrises, and the first cup of coffee in the morning...
