Oh yes, that one

More fun things to do with pencils .............


Getting a compass and making one of those big flowers with lots of half circles


I'm starting to feel like a little kid again

*whispers* I have the coloured pencils and compass for Uni!

Or, possibly, sitting on the kitchen floor (at forty years old) and playing with your three-year-olds lego at 1am (yes, I have just been doing exactly that and my three-year-old is fast a-bobbos)

Ahhhhh but those little magnet things are better - my kid's 10 and her magnets are great fun - even watching them do that *repel* thing they do is great

My sister still regularly manages to persuade me to play legos with her...

lego (and if could do the bit that you do to illistrate trademark, I would) and it's derivatives are excelllent for playing with. You can't beat trying to doing a Bionicle (tm, if I knew how to that) before your child

Peeling off old paint on things Finding things that were thought to be lost enriching uranium sucessfully in the spare room culturing a really dangers bacterium up in the sink

Young magwitch has reminded me of a simple pleasure I can longer take in my own home as I moved into this flat last year. That of sitting at the top or the middle of the stairs. There something strangely relaxing about sitting a on stair, one that you just don't get from more regular seating systems or devices.

"culturing a really dangers bacterium up in the sink"

Done a bit of that myself recently. Need to buy a new woman and pair to sort that out. Had to take the last back to shop, kept thinking it was aloud to leave the kitchen.*


*[if some twitten acuses me of trolling for being satirical I'll set the teledu on them!]

Getting in the bathroom first
Peeling fruit like satsumas

Sitting on the John having one of those satisfying bowel movements. You know, that ones that border on mystical. Where you're like... And there are hundreds of the cutest little fat people floating right in front of you and it's wonderful and then... they speak!

Absolutely

Azathoth I've been thinking about trying to sleep on the stairs. Don't know why.

I have had that desire myself, a testament to the apparently mystical power of stairs to better one's state of being. I suspect though that weak but unstopable force of gravity would out do it though, a certain amount of sliding would be involved without the adoption of a position that would do harm to one's posture.
Perhaps the landing would be close enough to the stairs for their energies to take effect.

Sliding down the stairs on pieces of cardboard - or in sleeping bags. That used to be a favoruite

Folding just washed and dried linen sheets

Even better, getting into a bed, freshly made with laundered and newly dried sheets

Am just going to do that now

Yea!: I did that last night too

Whats a skelf??
Putting a spoon through the foil / paper seal on a new jar of coffee.
I love getting new drawing pads all that blank paper is kind of scary but chalanging.
Cleaning all the dried paint of the tops of the bottles.
sucking hot tea through a chocolate finger
Nibbling all the chocolate of of maltesers and saving the pile of honeycomb bits till last.
