Sixty simple pleasures (read this one first): A plate of fish and chips, dawn, sunset, birthday cake, a child's smile, playing a favourite album for the 457th time, playing a favourite album for the first time, birdsong, ketchup, a long soak in the bath, good health, finding a seat on a crowded train, a sky full of stars, a sky full of snowflakes, meeting a friend you've not seen for ages, a low mist, the cool side of the pillow, spotting Concorde in the sky, the first day in the Spring when you don't need a coat, please, thankyou, finding £20 in a pocket before you fill the washing machine, staring at a river, filling in the last clue in the crossword, laughter, a cup of tea placed beside your bed, watching a plant grow, overtaking a caravan, chocolate, sitting in the park on a deckchair, a cracking thunderstorm, Christmas in December, an unexpected text message, cuddles, Manchester United losing, the tide slowly creeping up a beach, friendship, spotting the toupee its owner had hoped was convincing, half price sales, 5pm Friday evening, 9am Saturday morning, Sunday lunchtime, arriving on the platform just as your train arrives, receiving an email that isn't spam, doing nothing, a walk in the countryside, exploring a big city, midnight, curling up with a good book, the smell of baking bread, the sound of music, silence, going away on holiday, coming home again, a smile from a stranger, a wink from a stranger, sunshine, moonlight, chocolate Hobnobs, life.
