    End of week pints, watching the Spanish football in front of an open fire, on a Wintery Sunday night.

    My daughter :-) She has saved me from sinking into depression+ helped me find the strength to battle cancer. I won't give up on her without a good fight. :-)

    Then again, there are days when all I want is a quiet cuppa without her looking for a bottle or a nappy change. Just to finish one coffee while it's hot would be bliss! But she's worth it all .

    The sea, walking on the pier in Dun Laoire, intelligent people, tea, did I say tea, great movies, those days when it all falls into place, great food, west end shows and Italy Italy Italy.

    A nice steak with wedges and all the trimmings, pepper sauce.

    Seeing the world through your child's eyes,All those things you'd become jaded by and no longer noticed all seem new again.
    Sport. None of this spectating, getting out there and win, lose or draw putting your heart and soul into competition.
    Unexpected Kindness from a stranger.
    When you hear a song you loved a long time ago and had forgotten.
    The Tiredness you get after hard physical work.

    Summer. Summer evenings by the beach.

    Hugs from my little nieces and nephews.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,390 ✭✭✭mojesius


    Watching sunsets out far wesht in mid summer that go on until midnight. Walking, sitting on beaches, jumping off boats into a warm sea (not Ireland). Good live music in a pub. Travelling to new places and going back to the old ones. My family, friends and my doggy! Woof.

    A bloody good gig where your jaw hits the floor and you never want it to end.

    If you want to get into it, you got to get out of it. (Hawkwind 1982)

    Sitting down and looking back over a physical job you've just completed.

    My grass takes almost 2 hours to cut with a self propelled mower. There's a great satisfaction putting the mower into the shed and then looking back over the work done.



    Watching the excitement of both dogs as they arrive on the local beach. This excitement is only bettered when I take off their leads if no one is on it.



    A long walk on the beach as the sun is rising or the same walk on a windy wild day all wrapped up and warm clinging to my wife.

    A gallop through a stubble field on a horse on a crisp November morning.

    A glass of good wine in front of a roaring fire.

    The odd occasions where the whole family is under one roof, and getting on!

    A quiet house, a pot of tea, chocolate Hobnobs and a good book. Bonus points if it's raining outside. And the certainty (or as near to it as possible) that no cunt'll bother me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 300 ✭✭Isaiah


    My God, My Wife, My family, nature, exam success and solving technically complex problems in work. Helping other people.

    First thing that came to mind for me was candles and wine but then I read this and felt guilty for not thinking of my daughter :pac:

    Candles and wine while my lovely slumbering princess is in bed :D

    There is not one thing that makes life worth living for me. It is all doom and gloom and there is no way out.

    A tray with teapot, china cup and saucer, butter dish and a rack of toast, on a grey Sunday morning in December, while Christmas movie tunes play on the radio.

    Family, kids being cute and funny, friends, faith in the future, and all the excess, gaudiness, over-indulgence, squabbling and togetherness of an extended family Christmas together.

    Love, in all it's guises.

    Ah wines on my list too!! Preferably when she's slumbering in bed with someone else to feed her so I can enjoy it :-)

    Seeing people get their comeuppance
    Kicking a football just right mid flight
    My daughter/son resting their head on my chest
    A nice meal and cold glass of beer after a hard days work
    Boobs

    After all the knocks life has given me, I used to think it cruel that I had to live through it.

    The things that get to me....

    .... Coming home from work late, cold and tired, and having something hot ready, fire lighting and dogs ready to welcome me home. I hate the fuss of having dinner ready, so always tell himself to look after himself, it's nice when he thinks I am worth it.

    Other than that, a 2 hour dog walk, and having a nice cup of tea afterwards. Cold and tired.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,398 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    My kids, nothing like getting home after a long hard day and giving them a smack.

    Helping others.
    Music.
    A healthy mind (otherwise one might not be able to appreciate the good things in life)
    Finding interests that you love.

    When there's electric chemistry between you and someone you fancy and you just know its going to end up with you dating.

    It happens rarely but when it does its amazing.

    First time I've had one in years, and I've a serious fear of my house going on fire. Soooo, thanks?

    Keep it in a bucket of water, or damp sand.
