Tiny things that are bloody marvellous

[Rockbird]

As an antidote to the irrational hatred thread . I'll start.

Tins of Princes Tuna that are both drained, and have a funky pull lid (not metal) that made me kneel down and weep with joy.

Bumblebees - I love to get as close as I can and observe their busyness, their wings and little legs, especially if they have little pollen baskets.

Raera Just asked my dp what a baby puffin is called .he suggested .... a puffette ! Lol
My list of wonderful things are
Stars
Baby smell
Cut grass
Paddling in the sea
Ohhh and cake 🍰

Pool noodles. A couple of quid but totally versatile. Amazing for kids learning to swim. Nice for parents to muck around on when floating nearby.

A new book

Gimmebrow, the answer to my eyebrow prayers

The coo sound my baby makes when she looks at me

A good stretch!

Swinging on my swing seat in the sunshine reading The Financial Times —HeatMagazine—

🤦‍♀️ Strike fail!

Getting into bed after a shower with clean sheets and shaved legs

Hearing my speech delayed 2.5 year old say ‘hi gorgeous’ when comes into my bedroom first thing in the morning.

Getting into bed at the end of the day. I love it!

Hearing a seagull at the seaside.

The scent of jasmine in my garden when I get the washing in the evening.

Republic coffee capsules. Like Nespresso (and compatible with the Nespresso machine) but completely biodegradable packaging so I don't feel guilty about the capsules going to landfill.

I love that first cup of coffee in the morning when the DC are both asleep and I can plan my day in peace.

6am is my favourite time of day.

Me too @Laurie .

Looking out of my kitchen window to a wall of trees across the road. Entire window filled with green. We've lived there for 12 years and the novelty hasn't worn off. I love it

Truly weird, I accept, but freshly cut toenails!

Sweet peas. The smell of them makes me so happy.

I agree acyially. And I have bumpy bits (medical name) on my upper amrs which I pumice off, the day I've done that they feel amazing. A little bit stingy but all smooth

Eating meals out of doors (and the corresponding weather). I particularly adore breakfasts outside.

Bicycles. When you think about them, they are awesome. Millennia should, someone invented the wheel. But it took so long to get to the bike but since they did, it’s fundamentally the same. And you can hop on your bike and massively increase your range of movement. It’s awesome. That and the fact that the sense of balance requires is never forgotten, once learned. I watched a documentary once about amnesia and the tests they did for true amnesia especially the cycling one, were fascinating.

Great thread! Reading from my freshly washed, line-dried sheets.

I also like trees.

A salt pig in my kitchen. Read about this on a cheffy website - they said i’d Love it more than a grinder/tin of Saxa/packet for using when cooking, and I do!

New this summer, a separate tub of sea salt crystals for salads. They’re totally taking my summer meals to the next level. Maybe I need a second salt pig to make them as accessible as the everyday salt.

I get great pleasure hanging washing out on a summer's day. When it is dry within the hour, the joy is intensified

Also, meal times with my dc. Just the 3 of us chatting about life

My dog's greeting when I come home. Never tire of that.

A g&t in a fabulous gin glass and lots of ice sitting in my garden

Talking to neighbours (makes me feel like I belong)

Suddenly noticing your dc have grown

loving this thread & agree with almost all

Wood pigeons sitting in a pair on the fence like an old married couple still in love.
Cat snuggling up.
Fresh hot tea.
Melted cheddar cheese.
Clean sheets.
Clean hair.

Early morning in the garden before the noise begins, just fresh air, damp grass and peace. Ideal place for that first cup of tea.

When you make the kids a birthday cake when theyre in bed and you slice the top off (to level it) while it's still warm and eat it all to yourself with a cup of tea!

Crafty afternoon naps in winter.

Sharing a pot of tea or coffee in quiet company.

Sifting through knitting needles and crochet hooks in charity shops.

Contact lenses - without them I look like Olive from 'On the Buses'
