Small pleasures add welcome piquancy to my routine, the way a tray of aromatic chutneys and hot lime pickle kicks up the flavours of a well-prepared bhoona beef, as a perfect background complement.
My latest little discovery has been at Lee Valley, a gardener's paradise. In their catalogue, I stumbled by wonderful accident upon an artful little tin of bronze book darts that point with understated dignity to the line one wishes to distinguish on any book page.
The tin is lined with a royal blue plush cushion and contains 50 bronze darts, each wafer thin, anxiously awaiting deployment for my referential pleasure.
What a delightful find!
Some will read this and scoff, "Get a life!" Yet others, I would hope, will read this and murmur, "What a life!"
Small pleasures, to be sure.
Small pleasures, to be sure.
