Sit on the bench under the tree I planted in 2011. It makes me so happy to have taken care of this being for so long and now I get to bask under its shadow. I love my tree♥️

Pick up fresh fallen eucalyptus leaves, crunch them up, and smell. There are over 800 types of eucalypts, and they all have a unique smell (?) profile.

Cooking big batches of stuff. Usually tomato sauce, but also jams, lasagne, stews… having it right away and also freezing up a couple of meals worth of food is somehow very rewarding

Sometimes I narrate my life like a voice-over in a movie.

It amuses me.

Binge tv dramas with the same plot involving a witty, sword-swinging heroines. They aren’t peak cinema typically. I just like watching the moment of revenge and how bright the female leads are generally.

I step/move around the kitchen in a "flowy" way and dance to music that's only in my head while I'm cooking or making espresso drinks at home and it brings me much joy

Make and eat a litre of ice-cream every week. I simmer down frozen fruits to a jammy consistency, put them through a sieve, and mix them into a custard before dumping it in the ice cream mixer or ripple them through the ice-cream as it goes into the pot.
They don't all turn out perfect but I still get ice cream in more interesting flavours and for cheaper than the store. Tops out at about £6/L if you go for the fancy fruit, compared to £3-4/L for the cheapest supermarket own brand and about £10/L for Ben & Jerry's or Häagen-Dazs. Last week it was a tangy summer berry ice cream, this week it's lychee ripple.

I kiss a little cat because it makes me happy.

The cat is very ambivalent towards this predicament.

I listen to music on headphones while i make myself breakfast and mock sing along. Its just for me.

Colour. My brain stops annoying me when I do.

Cook and bake. We are never out of food.
