Cracking my knuckles.

Listening to Scottish pipe and drum music.

Something like this

Weekends not being hungover

Zorya · 08-10-2019 7:58am

Lying back on the car bonnet and looking at the stars.

Your first sleep back in your own bed after a spell away.

Especially after being at a festival for a few days and just out of a warm shower.

Youre welcome Guy and your three are all brand new to me so I'm to google

BuileBeag I love the Perseid and Geminid annual meteor showers for this reason. And I've had wishes fulfilled from falling stars.

Transferring your full body weight through an ash plant into a minuscule sweet spot on a sliotar and watching it sail up and split the posts from the 65 meter line. Pure zen flow.
It only happens me when nobody is watching sadly.

Computer games, the perfect way to switch off from the world. You can get immersed in a great story, challenge your brainpower in a fun way or just have constantly rewarding fun. Also having drinks with friends while playing Mario Karts is hard to beat.

Watching golf on TV on Sunday evening/night when rattling with a hangover. Very relaxing.

Wayne Jarvis · 08-10-2019 10:03am

The feeling of going for a wee after being bursting to go for ages.

Picking up the bloody dogs ****e in the back garden, herself and the 3 chicks must think the dog flushs it herself....

MetzgerMeister · 08-10-2019 10:07am

Going for a walk on a crisp, cold night and the smell of chimney smoke everywhere you go. Earphones in, music on, walk and get lost in your own world with no one apart from the odd passerby greeting you to remove you from that world.

Golf on a cold but sunny morning. The lovely fresh smell of the wet grass and trees fills your senses and wakens you up.

Spending the morning cleaning the car then when you're finished, just admiring your work.

Yes! Anyone else experience a little "shiver" of sorts when this happens?

Widdershins · 08-10-2019 10:21am

TH I've only ever seen black & white photos of my grandfather... I knew his eye colour because old friends of his used to always say I have his eyes. Recently I found out that he had sandy gold-red hair. He died before I was born so this little detail made him seem more real.

Woke Hogan · 08-10-2019 10:21am

The high you get after a ten mile run is unbelievable. Much better than drugs or music or pretending to rescue princesses from castles.

That’s a piss shiver. Think everyone gets them. Meant to be 1/8th of an orgasm.

CrankyHaus · 08-10-2019 10:31am

A swim in the sea in Ireland, especially somewhere nice on the west coast. Just lying back and looking at the sky meeting mountains that plunge down to the sea. Particularly nice the day after a long run when your legs appreciate it.

LOL

From what I read it's to do with signal confusion in your nervous system.

I never got one.

I feel left out now:mad::mad:

TheFortField · 08-10-2019 12:40pm

I’ve dropped another dress size through simple lifestyle changes and planning out meals each day. For the first time in years I feel my body and mind are properly healthy. Clothes hang so much better too

branie2 · 08-10-2019 2:36pm

Being at a 60th birthday party for my aunt earlier on today

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 08-10-2019 4:34pm

I gave a neighbour a few crates of apples a couple of weeks ago. He arrived today with a dozen bottles of apple juice he made from them.

madmaggie · 08-10-2019 4:34pm

I was given a fluffy throw for a present. I put on my favourite armchair, it's so soft and snuggly.

Widdershins · 08-10-2019 4:44pm

A spooky October nightwalk for us tonight.

Also I think I'm off cigarettes for good after lots of temporary stops. They smell unpleasant to me now..in fact I feel nauseated by them.

I can smell all the lovely candles and oils I use around the house and always thought were really weak!

Eleysian · 08-10-2019 4:47pm

The last few weeks have been rough. However, today I had was listening to The Lumineers “Hey Ho” on the radio and thought things are not going so badly and I feel ok. Good enough for me and I will run with that...

Just found out the minimum wage is going up. Yay!

Boom_Bap · 09-10-2019 12:42pm

I stayed in a place so remote over the weekend, that the lock for the door was a rock. You could only lock the door with the rock from the inside.

Widdershins · 09-10-2019 12:59pm

We got home before the hailstones.

Yes...hailstones!

Auto correct wanted that to say "gallstones ". I think we're some way away from having to worry about things like that!

Just popped in to say my TH was getting home less than five minutes before a real squall of a shower hit.

TH my little old sweetheart rescue dog is still with us and adores my OH and he adores her. She seemed to be on her way out earlier this year but has improved. She looks old and walks slowly and hesitantly now which is heart breaking. I appreciate every day she's here with us though.

Srameen, the seasonal tide has really turned now! No mistaking full Autumn.

Great feeling seeing the to do list getting smaller.
Great sense of accomplishment.
My TH today is waking up and remembering what I have to do today

My four year old niece yesterday when i asked her was she worried about climate change.
Her response, “yes, I’m worried that if I climb it it’ll be too high and I will fall over”.

Move over Greta!

Kitty6277 · 10-10-2019 11:59am

Reading week in college next week. No classes, time to get some work done and to recharge the batteries a little bit

madmaggie · 10-10-2019 2:28pm

My dog is gone to the groomers. When I collect her she'll go bonkers, delighted to see me.

SirChenjin · 10-10-2019 4:01pm

Hearing the letter box rattle, new book just arrived in the post.

Widdershins · 10-10-2019 4:36pm

Just as I was about to pay for an online order, their midseason sale kicked in and the price of all the items in my cart dropped by 15%. Good thing I hesitated before buying

10-10-2019 5:09pm

Childhood memories. I was tying my hair up earlier and had a flashback of doing the same to my barbies hair. I then remembered the time a daughter of a family friend brought me a big box of her old barbies. She was a 'big girl' so no longer played with them. Jesus I was beside myself with the excitement. All their lovely dresses and right at the bottom was a gorgeous horse with saddle and all.

Wayne Jarvis · 10-10-2019 5:15pm

After working from January to October without a break I finally have some time off, 10 days straight from tomorrow! My achey body needs a rest and it coincides with the Breaking Bad movie coming on Netflix. I will try to move as little as possible for the next 10 days. Somebody please come to my home and repeatedly put cake in my mouth.

Redneck Reject · 10-10-2019 7:31pm

Sitting beside an elderly lady on the bus, who was telling me her life story. Most of it was fascinating and funny. And I hope I made her day just as she made mine.

mikemac2 · 10-10-2019 7:32pm

My PAYE taxes were a mess in 2018 and I was on emergency tax a long while

I put in a claim to have them reviewed (balancing statement I believe it’s called) and I got notified today, about €1,600 back. They will pay as soon as I give them bank details

Bottle of wine to celebrate

Claim your taxes folks !!

branie2 · 10-10-2019 9:09pm

Going to see Gemini Man at the cinema tomorrow

TheFortField · 10-10-2019 10:36pm

The office bully handed in their notice today. To say I’m overjoyed is an understatement.
