watching the kettle boil, sardines, and a surprisingly good egg curry

The cooler months call for all the Nice Nothings.

Things like hitting the snooze button to enjoy those extra moments cocooned in bed. Running a bath. Lingering a little longer under a hot, steamy shower. Lathering your body in oil. Making broth. Making soup. Toasting bread. Bringing the doona to the couch. Watching the kettle boil. Herbal tea, all day. Layers, long coats, woolly socks, knitted jumpers. Eating dinner early. Romanticising slow-cooked meals - even washing the sheets. Spending more time with yourself. Dinner parties. Sunday roast at the pub with a fireplace. Re-watch Friends. Re-watch Sex and the City. Re-watch Girls. Spend your Sunday’s reading books and have one too many cups of coffee. Baking! Lots of baking!
