The smell of fresh vegetables cooking in the pot or the steamer.
That I have the doors and windows open, and am enjoying the cool fresh air wafter through the place.
It’s quiet and peaceful right now. All I can hear is the fountain outside, and the occasional quack of a duck.

I had a rummage around in the kitchen around lunchtime, trying to think of what to make for dinner. I’m a big fan of decent fresh food, and as I was going to be working most of the afternoon, I decided to do something that, once prepared, needs little attendance – a beef stew in the crockpot.
I diced up some chuck, also some potatoes, carrots, rutabaga and onion, and put it in the pot. On top of that went a half pint of beer, some chopped garlic, herbs, and some season salt.
On went the lid, and on went the switch, and that’s it, except for a cursory eye, and perhaps a stir later. Dinner is around 8pm.

Someone asked me the other day, what 3BT meant. Three Beautiful Things. I got the idea from a lady called Claire in Tunbridge Wells in England, who, writing rather more eloquently that I do, started a blog with the idea of writing down three things that she found inspiring or uplifting each day. You can find her blog here.
I have to admit, one of the drawbacks from working at home, is that I really don’t get out much, not during the weekday at least, so I don’t always have a lot of different changing viewpoints or scenery to write about!
- The sun shining directly through a fern that is growing in a hanging pot. It sort of reminds me of a Rastafarian style hair-cut.
- Enjoying some Rondò Veneziano as I write this, and some work done.
- I am pleased with my efforts at computer housekeeping. A large hard drive is like having a spare room, it can quickly turn into an iniquitous heap of festering junk.
