Lying in bed after wakening listening to the birds----knowing I'm alive for another day. It's just lovely to wake up grin
My sleep seems to have been very deep this last few weeks, lucky me, eh ?

Fresh cut grass. Sun on my back

Talking on FaceTime to my 9 year old DGS who needs a bit of support and love at present. We play silly games and I love it.

I iron the duvet cover and pillowcases for the simple pleasure of getting in to them. I would pay someone to change,wash and iron my bedding once a week.

You iron sheets, Lucca? I try not to iron anything. grin

DH hates peanut butter whereas I love it so my simple pleasure is dipping my finger into a jar of crunchy nut.

I hate housework, find cooking a chore, but actually quite like ironing.....weird I know

Lucca a thread similar to this was posted a couple of weeks ago (not complaining, the more the merrier?). My reply was the same as yours - line dried cotton sheets, ironed, bliss!

Oops sorry......

Cup of coffee brought to me in bed every morning by DH (he rarely cooks, but he makes lovely coffee!), gardening on a warm summers evening, a walk down a country lane, birdsong. Shall I go on?! Oh and a hug from my granddaughters - which i’ve not been able to have for over 4 months!

Going upstairs to watch the sun go down over the hills.
Listening to the rain on the caravan roof whilst snuggling under the bedcovers.
Watering the garden in the cool of the evening.

Playing in rock pools with my grandson. Simple but it's everything.

Cuddling my cat, watching a drama on TV, seeing my lovely daughters and granddaughter and, working at a school, celebrating the end of term after working throughout lockdown and Easter hols etc, Bliss grin

Tending to the flowers in my garden and cuddling up to my cat in the evening to watch tv (together).

Going to the greenhouse and finding ripened tomatoes and a cucumber ready to pick. And I don't even like tomatoes!

Text from son whom I haven't seen or spoken to for over a year. No estrangement, just doesn't feel any need to talk to his mother!

Love fresh sheets, also even the smallest bunch of flowers.

The first morning coffee, the afternoon glass of wine, and like Buntie my hot water bottle on chilly nights!

A bowl of cornflakes with ice cold milk before bed.

Candlelight. I always light a candle in the evening and find the flickering flame very comforting.

Just got into bed, with freshly washed (and ironed !!) sheets and clean pjs. What are your simple pleasures ? (apart from the obvious ones of hugs from the family.)
