He got my beef stew cooking and the smell of the lovely onions, leeks, veggies and seasoned beef makes me feel like I’m getting a warm hug inside. The satisfaction in knowing my children will be eating healthy this evening is fulfilling to the maximum.
the only thing to spoil it is that it is Tuesday and I have work.
what’s your homely comforts?

Ah, homely comforts, not hourly pleasures. I thought this was going to be a completely different thread.

Tea.

I seem to drink coffee on the hour, every hour at the moment so that would be my hourly pleasure...

But for a homely pleasure the smell of baking almost anything - sourdough, cheese scones, banana bread, cookies, pie, crumble...there's something about flour and butter in an oven that just says "home" to me.

We recently got tropical fish and a hamster after not having pets for years. They add to my homely pleasure.

Comfort-wise, freshly washed cuddly throws on the sofas.

Chuckling at hourly pleasure.

I thought ‘bloody hell, every hour! How has she got the time!?’

Slightly disappointed to read the post is actually about beef stew.

Sorry but I baulked at the beef stew. Have you no heat wave?????
My hourly pleasure at the moment is a slice of chilled watermelon; healthy and cooling.

I don't feel the need to pleasure myself every hour.

Plants. It makes me happy to see them in my garden.

OvernightBloats · 22/07/2026 07:47

At the moment, it is seeing the butterflies and bees visiting the plants I have put into the garden. It's one of the best things to see from the kitchen window.

It runs on batteries 😀! Not used hourly though.
