Those Little Lockdown Joys

Those Little Lockdown Joys

Fresh blue skies first thing. Hard-to-put-down books. Your oldest, comfiest sweats, freshly washed. ‘Miss you’ texts. The smell of freshly baked bread. Zoom-gone-wrong viral videos. Unexpected post from a friend. The first sip of wine on a Friday night. Crisps served in a bowl. A freshly painted room. Meal kits through the letterbox. Forehead kisses. Hot cookies, fresh out the oven. Flowers in a jar. Snowdrops pushing through the snow. Smiling at a podcast. Friendly cats on the daily walk. You-must-watch-this TV. Blankets and fluffy socks. A smiley postman. A good story idea, scribbled down late at night. Licking the baking bowl. A bath with too many bubbles. A huge to-read pile. A delicious new recipe. Dancing in the kitchen to old music. Fairy lights and candles. Flipping pancakes. Newly painted nails. Unexpected laughter. Lighter, warmer mornings hinting at the better days yet to come.
