My cat putting a paw out to gently stroke my face (with no trace of claws).
My new (second hand) car that isn't falling apart and can easily fit into my parking space at work.
My log fire.
My lovely comfortable bed.
Collecting my latest design from the printers.
A fine evening out with friends.
So much to be thankful for.

Re: Little things that really please you!
I've learned how to make gingerbread in my breadmaker!
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

My electric blanket, especially as the weather is going to be freezing for the foreseeable future! Now I look forward to going to bed rather than wishing I could sleep downstairs in the warmth of the fire.

Re: Little things that really please you!
being the first up in the morning and walking to the bus stop when the full moon is still up
sitting on the front step and watching the world go by with a hot cup of tea
seeing LO get excited over the simplest things - waves, the moon, the stars, bugs!
taking a walk on a fresh autumn morning
seeing the first shoots in spring,
the sun pouring in through my window as it sets
waking up in my own time ( not by a toddler or an alarm clock!)
having something to do... and finally completing a project whatever it is!

How are the chickens this morning, been awake all night worrying about them.

I'm sure they're fine, my blue tits survived, in fact actually loved, Delia's Xmas pudding disaster x 2 a couple of years ago!
But then they like fat balls so a lard flavoured pud would have been right up their street, just wasn't my cup of tea.

The spotted woodpecker has become a regular visitor to the bird feeder just outside our back door - watching him makes washing up more bearable.
