It is a Monday morning. Has anyone any guilty pleasures they would like to confess? This thought came to me the other day when I had a message from one of our readers. She said that she had a busy home life, and she made private time for herself by locking herself in her un-suit bathroom, decorated the room with candles and would read our books in the bath. She made this time a couple of times in the week. The family was told that this was “her time” and that she was not to be disturbed.
This made me think of my own guilty pleasures, and wonder what other peoples’ might be. I do share these ladies’ joy of being in the bath and hot water in fact. I enjoy audiobooks, I even read BVS submitted scripts in the bath, but that is more a part of my working routine than a guilty pleasure. I could make a guilty pleasure of a hydrotherapy, hot tub in the future, but that is in the future rather than now. I enjoy a drink of single malt whisky, but that is a pretty rare thing and I do that in the company of others, rather than a self-indulgent thing. Another thing that I enjoy doing is listening to radio shows and although I am usually alone I might class that as a guilty pleasure. I would say for solo activity the thing that brings me a lot of pleasure is disappearing off into the studio to draw and paint.
Ok so that is me in the confessional, what about you? What is your private pleasure? Is it relaxing with chocolate or wine? Is there something that you wouldn’t tell a soul? Why not whisper it in my ear, I promise I won’t tell.
