Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes

After reading over my Blog entries for the past month, I suddenly realised that I do a hell of a lot of complaining. Thus, in the interest of proving that I do experience joy, here is an abbreviated list of my ‘small pleasures’:

Top 5 small pleasures (June/July)

Secretly taking my shoes off under my desk at work.
Adding an extra sugar into my coffee.
Inhaling the smell of clean sheets.
Romancing myself (eg. placing lit candles around the bath, lighting
incense and playing slow jazz…) and feeling touched by how much effort
I have gone to.

Top 5 small pleasures (July/August)

Quietly singing Country ballads as I walk down the streets of inner-city London.
Eating cereal in the morning... and the afternoon.
The unrequited, and slightly inappropriate, sexual tension between young male/female characters in Japanese animations. (‘They’re just pals!’)
Frequently dreaming about my Black Fender Guitar (‘It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine!)
Speaking Japanese in a very small, squeaky voice.
