Two of my favourite things in the world...

Although I'm the first to admit that I enjoy perks such as the internet (as this Blog alone proves) and occasional bursts of derring do, it's the simple things in life that really please me. And I can think of no finer examples than these:

firstly, on a Friday night after work, going to hundred yen shop and coming across goods with adorably serious phrases such as "Over-optimism modest chocolate and a marshmallow of a pretty strawberry make you feel gentle"

and secondly, having a coffee in a kissaten and letting the cream make its patterns.
