Small, but pleasing things

People say 'simple things please simple minds' which I think is true enough as long as people aren't being too mean about it. I think it would be a better world if we could take greater pleasure in simple things more often.

My mood has just been enhanced greatly for example, because I've just heard my car alarm going off.

A bit odd that, you might think - and quite rightly - however it's the first time I've caught her at it, you see. She's been going off at particularly random moments for some time now, but only when I'm nowhere in the vicinity. Like she waits for me to disappear from view and then just does it to amuse herself. The supermarket car park is a favourite one. It only seems to happen perhaps once or twice a month, so I haven't prioritised fixing it yet.

Anyway, it pleased me immensely to finally hear my car alarm with my own ears. I suppose I should finally get around to doing something about it...
