- waffles. thick or thin, soft or crunchy, hot or cold
- films/tv programs about production lines in factories
- tweezing my eyebrows
- stretching my feet so the bones go ‘tick’.
- nuzzling a piece of warm skin or soft hair or fur
- looking up words in my thesaurus. it always makes me go all excited, which may be just a little sad
- the italics in the stories of JD Salinger
- a well-working fountain pen
- that special feeling when I’ve fixed something (badly and all improvised, but I did it!)
- the phrase, “get your [add word] on”. For instance: “Go get your waffle on!”
- getting lots of mail
- bad 80s music
- filling up notebooks
- a clean(ish) desk
- the trial-lathering of a new showergel
- when a plan comes together
- suddenly realizing my yoga really is improving
- the knowledge that I can actually travel to a place I’ve never been before (Stockholm! Japan!)
- thinking up names for future pets (especially as duos. right now, I’ve got two future cats called Teacup and Sparkplug. I also really like “waffle”, for obvious reasons, but that sounds like it would be one dumb cat.)
- that writing high
work in progress, just like me.
