reaching into my pocket and finding a hole there- you know the old chinese proverb- man with hole in pocket - feels cocky allday
being able to find an exact copy of your son`s rabbitt - that the foxes got in the night - without your son finding out.

mince-neeps and tatties.
Waking to the scent of ozone blowing in through your bedroom window & the sound of sea gulls.
sunny-cold- dry frosty mornings with just a hint of mist.
Checking the mouse-traps and finding them all empty... A dead mouse is a heart-breaking sight.
I'd rather live in peace with the little fellows but Mrs Sparrow has her standards.
At this time of year the Harvest mice (beautiful golden creatures with bright eyes, long tails, smooth clean coats and white tummies) come in from the fields that surround my little cottage and they get into the outhouses and try to make new homes for themselves in the warm & dry.
I bait the traps with chocolate these days & find that you catch more mice that way.
You should never poison a mouse. That's just cruel.
Ramble...
Nice touch with the chocolate Uncle jack - a bitter sweet end- for the mouse - so to speak.
I actually- use marmite on toast for my traps- I some times wonder if I should also lay on a nice cup of tea for them as well- but then think , it would just encourage the blighters.
" oh forget that house Barney this one further up lays on a cup of tea - with their snacks"
Then you have the rats- well thats a whole diffrent ball game!

Another small pleasure is when my legs are crossed and l get to see the stitching on the bottom of my leather soled goodyear constructed shoos.
Another pleasure is hearing rough edged vocals.
Another pleasure is sitting by an open fire watching old black & white Westerns.
geese flying south for the winter in a "V" formation
Lighting up a chesterfield after a big meal.
Cold nights and warm beds.
Getting your tie length perfect on the first try.
Waking up early and not being tired.
finding out that your Dear old Uncle has been taken off the life support machine and is able to breath unaided and is shortly to be removed from the ICU ward and transfered to a regular ward.

Reading FNB over the first cup of coffee of the day whilst writing my name in the dust on my study desk...
