I've been so productive today. The Baby Bean and I had the final episode of s2 of Killing Eve to watch (satisfying, still working out how I feel about it) and I'd decided to make us a special breakfast to celebrate. I made spicy fried eggs with soy sauce, garlic mushrooms and kale, and cut thick wedges of challah to have with it all.

And now I've done my baking for tomorrow's baking day at work, plus extra baking for WorldCon. And I studied the first part of my first law unit for the GDL. All I have left is hoovering my bedroom and some kind of writing work.

But first, a meme via [personal profile] dolorosa_12!

Name ten of life's simple pleasures that you like most, then pick ten people to do the same. (It always feels like such an imposition to tag people in these memes. If you like the idea of this, consider yourself tagged.)

1. A mug of hot black tea first thing in the morning, with a spoonful of honey stirred into it.

2. A nap upon the sofa, with an episode of something soothing and familiar on TV (or Jurassic Park), turned down low enough that it does not impose upon the nap.

3. Drinking a glass of water after working out.

4. Early morning walks in the park, when the air smells fresh and like an adventure, and the sky looks impossibly high up and brand new. And evening walks in the park too, just at or after sunset.

5. A piece of fresh warm bread, spread with butter.

6. Jab & cross punching drills on a strike pad.

7. Sitting on the sofa under a blanket while the rain pours down outside.

8. Waking in the morning before you intend to and feeling utterly rested, with enough time to lie there and enjoy being in bed before getting up.

9. A cat coming to say hello as you walk to work.

10. Clean bedding.

Oh, I love your list of ten things — your 8, 9 and 10 are things I love too!

Baking for Worldcon sounds amazing! I hope you have a great time at the con. I'm going for the first time and really looking forward to it.

Once I started my list, I realised that the difficulty would be stopping at just ten! It was such a soothing thing to write about, I wonder if it might be nice to repeat the exercise once a week or something.

It would be wonderful to meet up at Worldcon. I've got a vague-ish plan up on my blog several posts back, so if you do end up at any of the same sessions, let me know via Dreamwidth or ping me on Twitter (if you have a Twitter account), where I'm [twitter.com profile] ronnidolorosa. Also very happy to meet up outside the sessions if schedules allow it.
