Small pleasures.Things that please you more than they should

[Trophy Husband]

A man, a plan, a canal, panama.

Do good's deeds live on No evil's deeds do, O, God!

[dudleybloke]

The sound of the relays in my amplifier when powering up.

[Mort7]

Things that click into place.

I like it when my back does that

There's a kid in my daughter's class called Queenie King and that really does tickle me more than it should.

[Blanchimont]

Pulling the shedding tufts out of my husky when she lays on me.
A perfect poo, clean breaking and only requiring a safety wipe.
A clean car. Cleaning mine and the Mrs cars always knackers me out, as I tend to start small and end up going all out on them, but they look stunning when clean.
A song just finishing as I pull up to my destination.
The best of all though, is seeing my Husky smile. She's had a hard start to life, and seeing her smile makes my day.

Watching the first bsb race of the season live on tv knowing its freezing track side.

On a similar theme, dropping something into the kitchen bin when it is empty and knowing that it shouldn’t need emptied again for a few days.

As the sole bin-emptier in the house (Mrs will not get involved at any cost), I am on board with this.

+1

Unfortunately one of Mrs ZS's small pleasures is putting bin sized/shaped items in the bin, rather than leaving to go out separately

When you fast forward through the adverts and then nail the timing to start of the next segment.

My Virgin box has removed this pleasure by doing it automatically...

How do you get it to do that?

Skill :

Oh you mean Virgin, no idea, I'm on Sky.

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

10/02/2001 was a pallindrome.

The next one is 12/02/2021

A pallindrome is any word or number that is the same backwards as it is forwards, like "madam".

Blame the BBC, I was just reading off their website

You’d cut the bit that had said the dates mentioned work for any date format -
01/02/2010, 11/02/2011, 21/02/2012 are the most recent ones, but signify different dates in the UK/US.

are you talking about the dogs poo or your own ?

either way, peoples pleasure in all things scatological is extremely suspect and weird.

[Wombat3]

Approaching a bend on a (private) road that you can see right through, dropping a cog, using the whole road on entry & exit, clipping the apex & unwinding the lock as you exit whilst feeling the car go slightly light in your hands with your foot on the floor

[Speed 3]

A freshly sharpened chef's knife
Washing a car in light rain
Empty laundry bins
Fresh haircut
Getting Yorkshire Pudding right
Starting a new roll of clingfilm
Sliced fridge-cold chocolate bar eg Topic or Snickers

The soft fluffiness of a new bath towel, never the same after the first machine wash.

It helps if you use a quality fabric softener and tumble dry them.

Oh, and ice cold glass of Coke Zero with slice lemon still bubbling in a tall glass. Never fails.

I tried your suggestion and now my towels are a sticky mess with embedded shards of glass and my tumble drier is ruined.

Thanks a bunch!

When I clean the reversing camera and then use reverse and its crystal clear instead of a blurry smudge.

Recently got my first ever car with a reverse camera (late to the party, I know) and the damn thing is useless at this time of year. Go 50m down the road and it's just unusable.

It's had a good dose of Rain-X this weekend, so eagerly awaiting results of that...

[Johnniem]

The planning, shopping and preparing food and beverage for a gathering of friends and'family. Always a pleasure and always a learning curve.

I didn't want to bore you with too much detail, and I accept no responsibility for any inaccuracies on the BBC website.

I am but the messenger.

Watching my family/loved ones laugh.








(and the way my GF grabs my bits when we’re too busy... just to let me know)

[Monkeylegend]

Honey roast cashew nuts

Oh and a Sainsbury teacake.

And a latte.

And a good book.

An afternoon nap.

Pension day.

Oh there are so many.

[MrJuice]

Black pour over filter coffee and garden eggs. Both make me way happier than I'd ever have expected
