Satisfying simple pleasures

[xsquared]

I'm on holiday at the moment and have really enjoyed the whole process of getting ready for it as well as the activities themselves.

These are the little things that have given me great joy or satisfaction:

Packing items of clothes by folding them into neat pouches so that they fit better and maximise luggage space.

The feeling after a hot shower taken after a long hike up mountains in windy and rainy conditions.

Putting the fire on after the above.

Meeting my daily activity target on the health app.

Piercing and then peeling the paper lid on a new coffee jar. Bliss

What are yours?

Having crackers and cream cheese and licking the knife. I know i could get the same amount of cream cheese with a simple spoon, but it's just not the same for some reason.

Pairing the socks up and finding there are none left over!

We have a very complicated bin system involving five bins on differing rotas, ie some are collected weekly, fortnightly, three-weekly and monthly. Very occasionally these rotas match up and all five bins are emptied on the same day. Today is that day! It feels strangely magical, like the stars of the bin Gods have aligned.

Sat in a park yesterday after a great picnic. Bliss.

Also I absolutely love a well organised picnic, with excellent tupperware

Squeezing blackheads.

Having clean bed linen and freshly shaved legs on the same day. Happens about once a decade around here.
