Yes
you know those tiny things that leave you feeling chuffed or feeling good or whatever...... LIST THEM

ill go first


  • capturing and salting one of the slugs that keeps leaving trails on my floors and over my shoes!
  • fresh bed sheets
  • that fresh out of the shower feeling
  • first brewup of the day
  • those long awaited wees that make your toes tingle
  • the satisfaction created from ones own flatulation....


add your own lists people
 
ROFL!! :lol:

erm....


  • fresh cotton sheets
  • the smell of good coffee
  • the warm smell of Barry's neck
  • a favourite tune from the past
  • the satisfaction I get when I've created some arty something or other and it works! (like this bulleted list :lol:)
  • ....
 
Sight: lilac
Smell: road in the rain after a dry spell
Sound: shutter
touch: the little indentation on my indicator, that fits my finger perfectly
taste: poached salmon in a herb sauce with cool white wine, followed by cheesecake and italian coffee
Sixth sense: knowing your a good person
 
Cold and fresh, but sunny mornings
A nice cup of tea when I get up or get in
Knowing that I've just worked my ass off on stage and my band has gone down really well
The anticipation of meeting someone for the second time
That first pee in the morning after a heavy night out
 
  • A good joke
  • Smell of freshly baked bread
  • An ice cold Pepsi on a hot day
  • Those days when everything just seems to click into place (rare - but they do happen)
  • Reruns of shows and films that I enjoyed as a kid (feels so distant now)
  • Snow
  • Strangers who are polite instead of ignorant

:thumbs:
 
  • Cold, crisp, deep blue skyed winter mornings
  • Getting cold water thrown on you as a shock
  • holding a 20D and firing the shutter
  • swatting someone when thay go to the basket
  • new bed sheets
  • knowing you've worked as hard as you can, you've did what you had to do, you've finished what you started and you've conquered what you aimed to achieve
 
This Day
And every Day after this day.
 
  • Discovering that my luggage has decided to join me on my hols.
  • The smell of fresh coffee.
  • Opening an envelope and finding a cheque.
  • Having a back-garden barbie with friends.
  • People trusting me to help them build their business.
  • My cats.
 
  • Waking up thinking I have to go to work, but actually, I don't have to go to work. :D
  • Stepping out the airport terminal building in Kuala Lumpur and have the wave of hot humid air wash over me. :gag: I am home. :lol:
  • Getting up in the wee hours of the morning starting out on a trip somewhere.
  • Quaffing down cool water when I'm really thirsty.
  • Those moments when you decide to take a mental picture of where you are and how you feel, so that you can come back to that moment in the future.
  • Those moments when I revisit the mental pictures taken above and have a good chuckle at myself. :lol:
 
the smell of homemade apple pie
smell of Turkey in the oven
smell of rain

going for a walk and holding my daughter/sons hand
laying in the grass and making out animals in the clouds with my kids :D

  • Crisp , Fresh Sheets ... (when I'm rich I'm having freshly ironed sheets every night)
  • Getting a corner just right on my motorbike
  • The sight of my kids just being kids
  • The smell of Onions frying in Butter
  • Running up PS to find that the Shot has come out 'Just right'
  • Cold dark evening , hot roaring Bonfire . Just watching it burn with a pint in my hand.
  • Walking up in the morning and watching my wife sleeping
 
- my son (4 months old) giggling hysterically
- his father greeting me at the door after work with a glass of wine
- weepy movies with happy endings
- flying above scattered clouds on a sunny day
- landing safely! (makes me feel good every time =)
 
Clipping an apex on my motorbike :D

Not killing myself on my mountain bike :cuckoo:

The first pint after playing football (verrry quickly followed by the second) :beer:

What's with the cats paws Dave..:thinking:
 
.Waking up on a Bright Sunny Morning. (Hate Dark Mornings)
.Summer when it's Sunny. (I suffer from psoriasis and the Sun helps clear it up)
.Snow (Don't get enough of it and it's the only thing that makes Winter wothwhile)
.The Cat greeting me when I get up or come in from work. ( My wife never gives her biscuits with her dinner and she knows I'll give her some).
.Going to watch motorsport with my two sons. ( My Wife finds it boring and won't go so let's us off the leash)
.Getting home from the track loading my photos onto the PC to find I've actually got some good shots from the 700 I've taken.
 
  • My son listening the first time
  • Looking out my diningroom window
  • laughing with my husband
  • seeing it with my eyes and making it happen in the shot
  • watching my sons eyes light up as he discovers something for the first time
 
Hmmm...I'll have a go then....

The cat recognising the sound of the car and running to meet me when I get home
Green & Black's chocolate
Waking up in the morning to the smell of a loaf fresh from the breadmaker
Pressing the shutter button and KNOWING that you've nailed the shot you wanted.....(Doesn't happen very often, sadly!)
Driving off the ferry in the Hebrides and knowing I'm back where I'd like to call home, if only for a fortnight.
5.30pm on a Friday
Driving between Kingswear and Paignton in South Devon - you come round a corner and there is a fabulous view over the whole of Torbay.....
 
All of the above.

Finding a fat note in a pocket when your doing the washing.
Winning a parking ticket appeal.
Finding a parking space.
Having a delete button
Ordering something and have it actually turning up on time.

Wind
The shimmer of dappled sunlight
The sound of crashing waves
Looking out through a window at miserable weather when you’re warm and cosy inside.

Collecting all the apples of my apple tree this morning and finding I have three Tescos bags worth of apples, wahay....apple crumble anyone.
