Simple pleasures 10:25 - Jun 7 with 3292 views_clive_baker_

What are the best simple pleasures?

- hearing & seeing my kids laughing
- beer (ideally in the sun, in a beer garden with some sort of views)
- hearing rain on a tin roof (conservatory is a close 2nd)
- morning coffee on a weekend

Walking through woodland.
Feeding seeds to birds.
Sunlight.
A pint in a pub where no-one knows you and the footy is on the telly, so you know you have at least 2 hours of 'me time'.
Having an idea and then creating it, so it goes from a thought to an actual thing in the world.
The smell of baking bread.
A good curry, where you have poppadoms and all the dips.
Desert Island Discs while on a long drive.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Desert Island Discs? That akin to waiting in the Dentists and hearing the sound of the drill on another poor, suffering victim.
Now a good curry, fresh bread and sunshine are great shouts though.

An opposite but similar principle to woodlands, nature: skiing and standing high in the mountains completely alone and listening to the silence. Winter sun, vibrant colours, air so fresh you can taste it. The only sound is hearing the odd trees crack with the cold. Completely your world.

- Summer evenings by the Lake

-Hearing the CBS SEC College football intro music for the first time in early September and realizing it's you've got four months of NFL and College ball

-The crunch of your Autumn leaves under your feet when walking to your local coffee shop on a brisk but sunny Sunday mid October morning

- The check in reminder for my yearly late December Christmas flight back to England

I find Desert Island Discs very relaxing... and illuminating. If you haven't heard the Ian Wright one, for example, you're missing out. Very powerful/emotional. But each to their own.

I confess i’m not sure I’ve ever listened to one fully through tbh, so I shouldn’t really abuse it even if I do know what it is.
