Simple Pleasures

[The Butcher]

Simple pleasure: When football is no longer coming home

[Carnage]

Now give them back the Malvinas!

There was a Wassailing event on in the pub in our town this evening so we went down for a look. Music, food, Morris dancing and group singing/ shouting at the apple trees to bring on a good harvest! And the Green Man himself was hosting the event. It was a hoot.

Sitting on the drive with a glass of wine, watching the sun go down, blasting tunes out a bedroom window. A very simple, but thoroughly satisfying, pleasure.

So you've joined a cult, is what you're saying

[Eoin McLove]

They've actually joined me.

I could watch and listen to this bass playing all day

Signs of spring.

[Pentagrimes]

Or Autumn, on this side of the pond. Favourite time of year. out come the Peaceville Three albums

[Eoin McLove]

Autumn is great too, but spring. All the flowers coming out, the trees beginning to green. The mornings and evenings getting a little bit brighter.  Ah, bliss.

[Mooncat]

Spring and Autumn are super short here (which could go in the peeves thread). A simple pleasure though is that because Autumn happens all at once, the trees turn colour really quickly and then all the leaves come down in the space of a couple of weeks, so it's like super juiced up, hyper Autumn for about a month, which is generally a fun month.

[Eoin McLove]

The weird thing about living in the Southern Hemisphere is that I have no sense of where I am in the year, given whichever month it is. At home, the months, and their place within the seasons was so we'll ingrained so I always knew where I stood, from week to week, month to month. Now with the seasons turned on their heads, the months themselves become meaningless. It's a strange experience, and after five years of living here, I still haven't worked it out.

[Born of Fire]

Yeah I used to be the same way living in the southern hemisphere. And Christmas being in the middle of summer was always so jarring

[Eoin McLove]

Completely unnecessary!
