simple pleasures in life
 

since having kids my idea of simple pleasures has changed:smt045. As I write this I am just out the shower (which I did not have to share with Libby)=D>, I was not woken at 6am by the sounds of my step daughter reading to Libby coming thru the baby monitor and 110 db:eek:. I did not have to get up at 7am to take my daughter to work:cool:. Libby is still snoring in her cot:p. Life is good.

My other pleasure is having peace to drink a cup of coffee while it is still hot :cool:

What other simple pleasures do people enjoy occassionally - it cant be a regular thing.

Sitting down in the lounge reading the paper when the family are all out, so peace and quiet. Don't get much of that, so appreciated when it does happen.

finally making it to the toilet after busting for a piddle for about 45 minutes... and yes, I'm that guy who shouts "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" :thumbsup:

You know those times when one is alone in the house, everybody is away for several hours and it is just yourself, in peace and quiet. At those times for me it is time for some self love, a hot bath and a nice cup of hot chocolate and I then just sink into the water and enjoy a really good book. You can't get a better bit of self love than that.

It rejuvenates the spirit and when the family get home, Carol's friends come over or the neighbors get noisy, I know that I had that brief moment of gentle solitude with my book.

Currently reading "Matter" by Iain M Banks. :D

lol, it was always soggy and chewed when Dylan was little. Seems I forgot about these sort of little things:p

sitting in the sun listening to nothing except birds or making shapes out of the clouds against a blue sky.
I also love listening to the summer rain at night.
