Innocent pleasures

[rosegoldwatcher]

There are few pleasures greater than putting on a new pair of box-fresh pajamas.
What small delights rock your world?
(Anyone who mentions ironing cannot be in my gang!)

[rosegoldwatcher]

Thank you all for your responses people. The list reads like an ode to joy. Wishing you all a sound sleep, dreaming of walking through grass in bare feet, with your bra off!

[LtJudyHopps]

Clean sheets, freshly washed hair and shaved legs. Absolutely the best!

Warm fresh bread (especially tiger loaf) or french baguette.

The smell of sun tan lotion - especially piz buin!

[StumpyinSomerset]

Changing into ''my'' shoes as I leave work.
Bra off when I get home.
Smell of the washing while ironing it.
The first cup of tea of the day.
The smell of autumn.
The smell of the woods and the peace there.
The smell of creosote or hot tar.

Sitting on the step to my garden with a coffee and the cat snuggled up next to me letting the soft rain fall on my feet.

Fresh bed sheets
Mowed grass
The day the cleaner comes- especially if I've forgotten !
Waking up and realising it's the weekend- so tolling back over zzzz

Cat running down the hall to greet me when I open the front door and hauling him up for a cuddle.

A mid afternoon bath I always feel really decadent.
Sitting in the sun with a book and coffee.
I walk to work and there's a lovely bit through the woods with sunlight streaming through,
Even better with a good podcast.

Getting into a warm bed with clean sheets in a freezing cold bedroom with rain battering on the window. Love!

Christmas - 1st December - 27th December. Everyone smiling, lots of twinkling lights, hot cocoa, seeing your breath in the air, dark nights, Christmas trees, decorations in the shops, Christmas specials on TV, Christmas dinner - everything!

(I'm not a summer person at all!)

Somebody else drying your hair for you (hairdresser, husband, slightly inept 3 year old...doesn't matter...after 30 seconds my eyelids are half closed and I'm dribbling).

[SnugglySnerd]

I've thought of more...

Crunching through autumn leaves and picking up shiny conkers.
Buttered toast made by somebody else.
The excited looks on my dts' faces when I arrive to collect them from nursery.
Watching a small child blow out their birthday candles. I even fill up a bit at other kids' parties, not just my own!

Coming across a dogshit with a shoeprint in it.

[CherryPavlova]

Fresh bedding, crisp and cool.
A mug of tea in bed in the mornings.
My husband picking me some beautifully scented sweet peas from the garden
A gin and tonic looking at the sea
Skinny dipping
Decorating the Christmas tree
The telephone showing the children’s numbers
Friends dropping by unexpectedly

[rosegoldwatcher]

For the love of God WHY BadLad?

[HellYeah90s]

Swimming in the sea - I grew up 5mins from the sea and I don't have that luxury anymore.
Cocktail over looking the ocean
Playing in the snow with my kids
A decent flat white coffee (I am from NZ!)
Night before Christmas

YY to taking bra off, and also shoes (and in the winter putting on my slippers)

For the love of God WHY BadLad?

It doesn't make my day, but it does make me chuckle. Not on my doorstep, but in the street.

[ArtichokeAardvark]

Getting into a freshly made bed.
The smell of a fresh bag of coffee.
Having the house to myself.
A really really good book and time to read it!

[rydley]

Watching TV. After a long day. Kids asleep. Patio doors open and a beautiful garden to see.

[wanderings]

Another vote for walking in grass in bare feet - or putting on my slippers just after a shower.

The excitement of a game of netball.

DH wrapping my presents - our favourite pre-xmas or birthday ritual. The great thing about it is that he invites me to keep him company. Even though I'm blindfolded so I can't see what he's wrapping, I love hearing him in action.

@BadLad I actually laughed out loud at your dogshit comment 🙈
