Russell Davies shares a list of things he enjoys, a concept inspired by the song ‘I’ve Got a Little List’ from Gilbert and Sullivan’s opera, ‘The Mikado’. Davies’ list includes the joy of finding a parking space, the satisfaction of using a well-designed object, and the delight of a good cup of coffee. He also appreciates the clarity of a well-organised spreadsheet, and the comfort of a well-made bed. He savours the pleasure of a well-told story and the thrill of a well-played game. Davies appreciates the beauty of a well-drawn map and the excitement of a well-planned journey. He concludes by inviting readers to consider their own list of simple pleasures. This exercise, he suggests, can help to focus on the positive aspects of life and provide a sense of joy and satisfaction. Davies’ list serves as a reminder of the importance of appreciating the small, everyday things that bring happiness.
