When some eejut has gone through the criminal justice system arrogantly protesting innocence despite all evidence to the contrary and eventually gets found guilty.

Regardless of where they may be in the house at the time I always laugh when my dogs slope up beside me when I eat something. It makes no difference if I am sat down with the family at breakfast or just having a cup of tea and a biscuit, they just know something edible is up for grabs and appear at my side. If I ignore them then they will usually move closer until their head is resting on my lap and eyes are looking longingly at whatever I am eating. Difficult to keep a straight face.
In fact, our two dogs in general cheer me up - they just make us laugh every single day for one reason or another.
The first cold beer when you go on holiday - sun beating down, condensation running down the glass - mmmmmmmm.

Did that this morning. Awake at 5 am and I still had another 30 mins until I had to get up. I wasted it by going back to sleep though!
The smell of the pine trees at the top of a long climb near me. Coffee and cake. A satisfying poo. The smell of breakfast being cooked, while I'm in bed! The banter on a Saturday morning club ride. A log fire. A perfectly poured pint of Guinness. Mowing the lawn. Christmas Eve.
Trivial you say? The kids like those mini-weetabix things for breakfast (too sweet & sickly for me tbh) but seem clinically incapable of emptying the last 2 or 3 from the box before they open a new one. One of life's pleasures is to find the near empty bag in the cupboard & dump the pile of crumbs onto proper Weetabix as a bonus topping.

Driving in the early hours of the morning on normally busy sections of road (M25 at the M4 junction being a favourite).
Being warm in a tent in bad weather.
Suddenly, for no immediately obvious reason, really missing the missus.
Cows.
Cycling related...
Passing someone who's obviously lighter and younger than me on a climb.
The lovely sensation of going from a dodgy road surface to a silky smooth one.
Riding in rain that's heavy enough to add some drama, but not heavy enough to leave you totally soaked.
On the MTB, the grinning feeling of "this is stupid!" experienced just before tackling something you've got minimal hopes for completing successfully.
