Rituals which aren't a chore ?

[Linford]

Making a cup of tea is something I could quite happily pass to someone else to do, but I've recently upgraded from a cheap and cheerful stove top Expresso pot to one of these.stainless steel gadgets (Ebay special)

The ritual of making a decent cup of coffee is something I've yet to tire of

How about you ?

Is this a spoof?

Funny, how tea and toast made by someone else for you always taste better than those you make for yourself..

In answer to the OP:

Decorating the family Christmas tree. Or particularly, the final stage: baubles etc. Getting the damn thing out of the garage and assembling it, stringing the lights round without strangling yourself or end up with them all round the back, those are chores. But once it comes to the baubles and other ornaments, most of which have individual memories and meanings, colours and sizes which need to be balanced, idiosyncratic too-short or too-long loops of thread which can't be replaced until they break, because they've been like that for 30 years... Then I'm reluctant to yield the task to anyone.

Cleaning the wash basin in the bathroom.... so it's squeaky clean and the taps are polished... lasts about a minute but looks great.

Opening all the blinds (some 9 sets) in the main living/dining-room at home, every morning, what with the view across the steam railway line to the beach and sea, never tire of that view.

Switching the alarm clock off at the end of the working week.

Re-setting it is, however, a chore I would happily farm out.

Chopping firewood, even though I don't have a log burner!
Towing a trailer.
Cake baking.
Sewing.

Absolutely not.

I find a lot of cooking a chore, but cooking a decent steak properly as well as making bread is something I don't tire of either

Cooking a nice meal. It's totally cliched I know, but being efficient, getting everything together, a bit of tunage on the stereo and a glass of something nice during, can't beat it! *




*Assuming I know how to cook it, of course! So I suppose by that I mean Anchovy Linguine. Mmmmmmm.

We have a wood burning stove and it often can stay alight for a week or so in the winter but in milder weather we just light it in the evening and leave it to go out. Clearing it out and lighting the fire always seems to be my job, but I love doing it.

Getting teabags out of the packet and putting them in the tin is a delight. Also satisfying as all the bags come in pairs and need to be split into singles. Something wonderful in splitting a big stack of doubles.

I last washed my car in.... nope, can't remember ever doing it.

That would depend on quantity and quality - a follow-through is something you don't really want to make a habit of
