Today is Palindrome day 02/02/2020.

The last one was 11/11/1111 and the next will be 12/12/212.

This pleases me smile
Shouldn't that be 12/12/1212 In which case it has already been and gone ?

Not only that but it is also the thirty-third day of the year and as it is a leap year, there are three hundred and thirty three days left.

Really well applied silicone beads around tiles etc.

Don’t know why but it’s so satisfying

When the opening of a new box of cereals coincides with the opening of a new bottle of milk.


Oh, and without getting too graphic.. a clean break.

sinking into a hot bath with no one else in the house

changing the blade in my razor

walking to work through the woods in the summer, listening to the birds and watching the squirrels chasing each other

an empty bed so i can stretch out

Brought a ford transit van in December, love everything about it. Put some fork mounts in the back and my wife and family couldn’t understand my excitement.

Yes, compared to bad ones when the kickdown on the autobox goes in the huff and
time stands still as the pantechnicon hurtles towards you and you think " well, I haven't had a bad life ".

Brand new socks even better in my opinion!

I am also going with fresh bedsheets. A wonderful and simple pleasure.

Big one for me though is having my daughter in the house. I get the best sleep possible (even though I am alert for everything) just knowing she is under the same roof as me.

Combine the two - and make me a cup of tea - and I am in heaven! smile
