I  like polishing shoes-

.

applying the polish over the surface -working polish over the entire surface - into all the creases and hidden places, creating a moist and shiny surface to gently and lovingley- make small circular caressing movements across the shoe- before tenderly taking a brush -slowly working up to a cressendo of brush strokes- before laying your brush down -with the blood gushing in your arm from the exertion.

most satisfying imho.

pickled onions.

the first sip of tea in the morning -the last sip of port at night

Having my sideburns level (hard to do!).

Just the act of folding & putting away the Summer clothes and bringing out the Autumn ones at this time of year.

First Shetland of the season for me today: Mid-Brown with a Blue OCBD & Olive chinos.

Then I raked some leaves.

realizing as I brushed my hair in the mirror this morning-that my choice of clothing.

pink spread collar shirt - and brown cashmere v-neck.

could be a euphimism for a ladies nether region.

I`ve been smilling to myself quite a lot today.

much to my good ladies annoyance-"what are you smilling about "-"oh nothing dear"

sliding my foot into a leather lined wellington boot-

Buying a pint for the old boy in the pub- allways sat in the far corner of the bar - nursing his pint for most of the night- watching the comings and goings-he`s seen it all before.

" and a pint for William - please landlord"

sheets and blankets rather than duvets

Having clean teeth.

whittling sticks .

watching Terry Thomas-as Raymond Delawney-in school for scoundrels
