Some things just make us stop and pause and think - "it's great to be alive", what day to day or week to week events make you fuzzy inside?

For me:
1) Putting a hot pan into the sink, hearing that hiss and for a second imagining yourself as a blacksmith.

2) Watching the birds. Have a load of feeders out the back and it's so therapeutic. Went to the park the other day and laughed my head off at two coots fighting each other.

3) Sitting above the driver on the top deck of the bus and pretending I'm driving it.

4) Cup of tea and a Twix after dinner.

5) Swimming in the sea

To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you and to hear the lamentations of their women.

Seeing Been & Jerry's on sale when grocery shopping

Fresh bedsheets FTW.

A large dump first thing in the morning

A decent cup of coffee and a croissant (together preferably but either one just as gooooood)
Toast with butter.
Fresh bed sheets.
Hearing a deadly song in the car.

Oh, and that nice feeling a Saturday shopping in town and going for lunch gives you during the day. Or is that just me.

Making a lovely dinner while listening to good music. Then sitting down to enjoy said dinner while watching something good on TV (for example the World Cup).

A nice cup of tea with chocolate cake/biscuit/bar/ice cream.

Getting a notification that a new episode of a favourite podcast has been uploaded for listening.

I'm sitting outside the apartment in the Canarys, it's 20 degrees and the kid is in bed. Beer in hand

deco nate · 18-06-2018 11:11PM

After a long hard hot day at work, coming home and taking your shoes an socks off and that feeling of the fresh air hitting your feet. Heaven:D

Yes! Definitely that feeling on holidays out on the balcony with a beer before dinner/after dinner or even during

Dtp1979 · 18-06-2018 11:13PM

Hot Toast with loads of butter and eaten before it’s melted

Hearing your baby laugh.
Watching your dog be a dog.
Sunsets in the wesht (saw one tonight)
Feeding birds in the snow.
Driving for hours to somewhere nice (badly) singing roadtrip songs.

I know you're on holidays and everything, but you shouldn't really be giving alcohol to children.

Noveight · 18-06-2018 11:32PM

The first sup of a creamy pint of stout.

humberklog · 18-06-2018 11:37PM

The smell of a freshly opened Lavazza bag of coffee.
Finding a long lost lump of hash in a to be dry cleaned coat
Affording dry cleaning.

Quick massage with happy ending.

motorists cutting you off, coming up close behind you, bullying you out of the way....... and then you see them 3 minutes later being pulled over by a cop.

chip butty with melty butter

new fresh fluffy socks

greencap · 19-06-2018 12:16AM

that blacksmith one. lol.

Ivan, bring hither yonder heated iron to water. We shall form it, for we are 16th century blacksmiths I say.

Do you give it an aul clonk with the wooden spoon, to give that full viking foundry house effect?

decky1 · 19-06-2018 12:19AM

When i get the house to myself, ahh love the silence+a few drinks, and a good film.

seenitall · 19-06-2018 12:27AM

When a guy you've just started seeing, starts firing you messages of an evening, randomly reminding you of all the hot sex ye had on the weekend, but really because he knows you are out on the town and thusly intending to distract you from checking out/snogging some other fella!

At the age of 44

Which leads to another one, namely, once home, doing a little impromptu victory dance to the tune of "I've still got it, yeah yeah yeah" in front of the mirror :pac:

I live near an airport. Right now, sitting on the balcony, absolute total silence. Can't even hear a bird.

Just don't drug them and then act all surprised for the next 10 years.

Waking up at 5am and knowing you've another 3 hours of sleep ahead.
Fresh sheets and a shower before bed.

Standing behind your gf and holding her boobs.

JupiterKid · 19-06-2018 12:58AM

Lounging on the sofa scoffing Terrys chocolate orange segments.

Fresh bed sheets
A stroll in the Phoenix Park in Summer
Swimming in the nude

Reading an engrossing book
Warm tomato soup on a winters day
A ferry trip to an offshore island an a calm sea
Making a child happy.
