    So what do you like/love?

    Other halves/kids aside what makes you go aah?

    I'm an oddball, I collect knives, some cost circa. €400 however one of my favs costs about a tenner. An Opinel No 9, simple in it's design there's something beautiful about it. Indeed it made it's way into an exhibition of the 100 best-designed objects in the world, held at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum in 1985.

    First they came for the socialists...

    How do you own a knife that is currently in London 24 years ago?

    Oh I meant the same model, was there a need to be such a pedant?

    All good friend!



    I love a real good belly laugh, I have so few of them but when they happen I am elated for hours afterwards, just incessant giggling trying not to crack up again because I'm in work or in public or something.

    I like rusty spoons...

    I'd have to say.. Raindrops on roses
    Whiskers on kittens
    Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
    Brown paper packages tied up with strings
    Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
    Doorbells and sleigh bells
    Schnitzel with noodles
    Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
    Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
    Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
    Silver-white winters that melt into springs

    I see you've played knifey spoony before.

    Bit corny, but, standing on deck of the ferry as it sails into Dublin. That feeling driving home, even if only for a short break. Also first cup of tea at home sat chatting to family. Something I’d love to be able to do whenever but sadly only get to for a couple of weeks a year.
    Only four weeks to go til next visit :)

    I love when wife and kids are in bed about an hour and then I get my hidden galaxy chocolate and watch neutron stars and black holes on discovery channel.

    New bed linen.

    It might be sad but there is no way I can lie in a bed with new sheets and not be content with life.
