Small things you appreciate

Small things that you really enjoy or appreciate in everyday life, especially those which are in theory pretty mundane. Think bubble wrap and things like that. 

I just got a totally disproportionate level of satisfaction from watching two bits of toast go popping out of the toaster. While it's evidence of the fact my neck is fucked, I also enjoy the ridiculously loud crack it makes after waking up, though I realise this makes me little better than knuckle crackers. 

Any minor things like this you really enjoy?

Totally agree with this one. Due to wanting to improve my health and also being a relationship, I've largely stopped getting trollied every Friday and now really look forward to a nice cup of coffee on a Saturday morning, probably with the news and then Saturday Kitchen on in the background. The other half sleeps for England as well, so quite often manage to sneak in a repeat of the baseball the night before too.

My version of this is getting out to walk the dog early on a weekend. Really satisfying when I don't see another soul for the entire walk. It's a busy wood and park where I go walking, so it's a rarity when I don't see anyone at all regardless of what time I go out, so I really enjoy it when it happens.

Before that happens I'd like to say when the train stops with the doors directly in front of where I'm standing.

Nailed it. 

- Also, walking to a road crossing and the green man appears instantly without a shit wait.

- A massive conker

- Overpowering dust/flavouring at the bottom of a bag of crisps/nuts.

A walk in my local park on a sunny morning - especially during autumn, the trees all in a blaze of dying green. It gives me a massive boost for the rest of the day.

As some other users have already pointed out, being up on a Sunday morning before anyone else and nursing a giant mug of joe whilst you have free reign of the telly is sheer perfection. If I won the lottery, that would be my routine every day.
