Re: What's your luxury?
My indulgence is probably tech stuff.. but my excuse is that I need (some) of it to work.
If I could choose anything else to have, it would be a private jet (complete with pilot) to fly to visit my sister in the UK, then back with her and tour all over Canada for a couple of months with out other sister, I'd end the trip with getting a house/cottage by the water with a sand beach for a couple of weeks. Bliss.
I do miss travelling, sigh.

Proper coffee. Illy or Lavazza espresso beans, ground in a decent burr grinder, and brewed in a steam pressure machine. Takes a little time and effort, but well worth the result.
Although I suppose it's not really that much of a luxury - it's probably significantly less expensive, and certainly much less time-consuming, than buying a mediocre coffee from any of the various drive-through emporia.

Could have done with one of those when I was gold prospecting in the Australian desert. Had to make do with digging a hole in the ground and a placing a frame and plastic toilet seat over it.
That doesn't work too well when you construct your dunny in the dark, and find out on first use that it's on an ant hill.

Cheese, gin, wine. Or are they necessities of life? Aa art equipment is also a necessity I can't really think of any luxuries.

Nope, that's a staple.
And that one is becoming more and more a luxury item...
Cheese and wine are to be considered staples. Gin.... yeah, go on then.

Re: What's your luxury?
In fact, I'm not a gin drinker. I think "you sniffed me out like I was Tanqueray" is one of the great lyrics of our age but that's as close as I come to it. Recently though, an alcoholic I know told me about falling off the wagon. "I drank six bottles of Gordon's". "Why Gordon's?" I asked, "why not Sapphire?". Apparently Gordon's comes in plastic bottles and so is easier to conceal, I don't think premium spirits ever come in plastic bottles.
