Things that make you go Mmmmm

Last night over sushi with Shanely, the youngest Doddling raised the interesting question of "The small things that make us disproportionately happy". I said she should compile the list and stick it on the internets but here's a start...

• Fish and chips with a mug of tea after a long day's walking (Final score on the TV is a bonus)
• Clean bed linen
• Wet winter afternoons indoors with a good book (or woman)
• Early on summer mornings at Lords or The Oval just as play begins
• Cooking yourself yummy dinner
• Lovely draught beer in lovely non-draughty pubs
• Tea and cake
• Art galleries when they're quiet and it's just you and the pictures
• Blankets
• Dogs on the beach
• Rivers
• Fresh winter Saturday mornings when I have a coffee in my hand
• Good bookshops
• Tinned peaches
• Beans on Toast
• A hot bath
• New art materials, especially Rexel 4B pencils
• Sunlight at dusk
• Getting dressed up
• New guitar strings

There's a start. I suspect that this may be a theme to which I return.
