Little things that we LIKE!

Waking up on the first morning of a three day walk and knowing you've got everything you need to survive in your pack and a whole day ahead of you.
My 5yo daughter's little love notes that she writes to me.
Stirring up the missus until she gets to the point of chasing me around the house with death in her eyes.
Coffee.
Standing with my feet in the ocean and watching the kids jump around in the waves.
Going out to the new block and imagining a great big shed on it.
Thunderstorms - the louder the better - we open the curtains, turn off the lights and sit back and watch.
My son's cheeky smile when he's about to do something naughty.

My darling wife :)
My darling daughter when she says “Daddy I wanna make you something” :)
Woodwork ;)
Basketball :cool:
Maths :confused:
My mother when she is not nagging :p
Chinese take away :)
Pork in Peking sauce (trust me try it) :)
Good friends :)
Sitting in a car (hi Christopha!! :D )

Real peace and quiet, like being on a place knowing that you are the only people for miles around

Sitting around having a relaxed talk with good friends or family (Gezelleg in dutch)

That feeling of pleasure after you have taken some poor defenseless piece of wood and made it into something useful

Reading, either a good novel or a scientific paper that really catches your imagination

You forgot - Living Dangerously :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

G'day,

I'll just list some and in no order:

enjoying the little things with my wife,
working with my hands,
seeing my family back in Queensland,
working with clients who understand and appreciate good design,
the serenity and beauty of nature,
a good laugh,
time with friends,

but all this will never really make up for the loss of loved ones.

Having just spent four hours bobbing around the Onkaparinga river in me little boat, dog by me side, the lad in his little boat, feeding the fish, amusing the shags, I'd have to rate that as something I really like :D

Now all I have to do is teach the dog to fillet fish and I'll be right. :D
Course, I could teach the lad but fishing is supposed to be restful :eek:

Cheers
Richard

Firstly catch a cat and skin it then ...... :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

The smell of freshly cooked toast in the mornings, espesh when covered in ham flavoured baked beans and cheese.
The look on peoples faces when you drop the brewings from the mornings breakfast in their airspace!

But seirously, finishing a WW project then you give it to someone for a Bday/xmas presant, because its made with your own hands it makes a big differance.

• waking up and watching the early morning mist drift through the gum trees
• the sound of magpies
• red wine by a campfire
• my son's smile
• having a terrific life partner
• the smell of wood shavings
• the espresso made for me each morning
• a good book
• writing
• building something
• sunrise

Watching my foxy trying to catch cats
Clobbering the bloody big copperhead that came in to say hello yesterday
My youngest daughters face when she gets a fish at a nearby estuary
Wreaking vengeance on a local committee who cannot interpret an act
Taking of my respirator and earmuffs on a hot sticky day like today (when I have finished)
My new recliner Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
M.A.S.H (yeah, I know it's old as, but I still like it)
A good upmarket restaurant
A good basic Greek or Turkish restaurant (pass on the retsina though :( )
Current Affair when Ray Martin is on his hols
Life of Brian
My portable DVD player (for horse events)
Local Scouts (they are a good bunch and they give me buggery as a leader)
Renmano cask wine and pizza
Single Malt (see avatar)

Iain, I'm not sure that this is something that a scout leader should admit to in public. :D

Google....I really really like Google..:)

Love looking up from the base of a good healthy spotted gum and pondering life, then I'm also partial to a bit of fiddleback spotty to turn into furniture.

Yes lurking as I do, i was wondering whether anybody was even going to make any reference to "it". For some it's five minutes and for the blue pill brigade its a lot longer, but anyway it is rather enjoyable.

As for me, anything that makes me laugh is priceless.

At the risk of becoming serious, why was the cop (in his car) sitting in your driveway? :confused:
