Jambo dans les Pyrenees Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I'm easy pleased me. Love a nap. Love stroking me cat. Love opening the chicken coop and finding a fresh egg. Love a clear star filled sky. Riding me motorbike through a tunnel. The last one is a euphemism, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwayssunnyingorgie Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Folding the clothes etc after they have been laundered. And doing the ironing. The wife says you got out of the army, but it never got out of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor FinnBarr Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Even though I've never been a smoker, there always appeared to be something satisfying about opening the cellophane on a new packet, fishing out that gold paper and taking the first one out. Then usually dropping it on the ground, the manky bassas, along with the 20 fag ends...sorry, that last bit should be on the seethe thread. I'm so old now I can remember just dropping them on the floor in the Thule, taking care to miss the brawling dock workers of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdust Caesar Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Getting to the bus stop just as your bus arrives. Also, seeing bus drivers wave to each other. I've no idea why that pleases me but it does. Walking home under dark, grey skies and getting there just as the heavens open up. Finding money, even just a fiver, in the pocket of a jacket you haven't worn for 9 months. Hearing Edinburgh or Scotland being mentioned in a Holywood film (that isn't set here). When I was a kid I loved it when I found more than one toy in my Frosties box. Best I ever got was 3 in the same packet but I was in my 20s by then and just chucked them in the bin.

The_razors_edge Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Getting up, striding in to my hallway and throwing darts at the dart board. A great way to de-stress. Sometimes I even get the kids involved. Use it for my 7 year old daughters maths...get her to total my scores. My wee boy has a soft tip one and I throw darts at my board and he throws his darts at his board. Great fun and something you can do with the family. Also watching my wee girl playing football while kicking a ball around with my wee boy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I?ve just decided I fancy a big bowl of vanilla ice cream. The nice Carte D?or Madagascar vanilla stuff. Just leaving it in the bowl to soften up before I get stuck into it. Then I?ll stir it vigorously so it goes all smooth and creamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester copperpot Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Very occasionally, my 11yr old daughter who is very grown up, will do something that reminds me that she's still a wee bairn at heart. Also when she calls me daddy (normally because she wants something from me) still makes me smile.

Dagger Is Back Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Chasing the black dog away I grew up with cats but jkb makes me right fancy a wee dug sometimes Aye. We've had her 10 years and I can't remember one occasion when I've moaned about taking her out. Doesn't matter what the weathers like or what else is going on, it's special time. Dog owners will get that. Like you it was cats for me growing up. I had three at one stage and was dead against getting a dog. I was outvoted 3-1 and I'm bloody glad I was.

martoon Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Saturday at noon. My own two, my sister's two, all four in their early/mid teens v. Me.

@VladMagic Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I nearly cried the first time my Springer Spaniel made her first retrieve. All the hours of training paid off when on the last day of the season 2 years ago I took her picking up. Sent her for a bird that she hadn't seen so it had to be scented and she found it and came straight back with it before presenting it to me perfectly. A very emotional moment.

Nookie Bear Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Watching my kids grow up from a tiny baby to actual people. Freshly made sheets New pillows That feeling you get when your proud. Like proper butterflies and self satafication. Heartwarming, but also sad in a way. My daughter last night accepted the truth about Santa - the missus was in tears about it - but her first reaction to the news was thanking us for the presents we had bought her over the years. And then she was up this morning helping her wee brother pick out toys from a catalogue for Santa to bring him for Christmas. Oh, and a simple pleasure for me is tidying the kitchen whilst listening to the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe someone else has this! I always look to see if bus drivers wave to each other. It makes me happy. I look to see if drivers of different companies wave, and if they are doing it out of duty or because they want to ie some don't look and barely put their hand up, some are more obvious. I've noticed that they don't really do it in the centre of town. I think it's because there are too many buses so they would be waving all the time. My sister and boyfriend think I'm really odd for caring about this so much. I suppose it is odd, but it makes me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister and boyfriend think I'm really odd for caring about this so much. I suppose it is odd, but it makes me happy. I'm with you both on this. In fact any positive interaction between folk who don't or may not know each other gives me a feeling of happiness, even if it's just two people smiling, saying "good morning" or holding a door open. I'm very much a believer in the fact that we're all Jock Tamson's bairns, and that in modern society most of us seem to remain insular and closed to "strangers", so anything that proves otherwise gives me hope.

Slicing that bread into perfectly even slices with neither heel being too thin or too thick. When Hearts win at football. When online shopping and you score an amazing substitute. My best was when I ordered a litre of Tescos special reserve whisky. As they had none, and it was obviously new making up the orders, someone leaving or just someone who didn't give a feck. In its place I got a litre of black label. Wish they put the packers name on the receipt you get so o could buy him/her a few pints.As for making home made bread, nothing beats the smell wafting around the house when it's in the oven.
