    The change of season. I don't know why but i've always loved the feeling you get when you notice the season change from either (so called) summer into autumn and again from winter into spring, autumn is my favourite though. I love this time of year:D!!

    Not at all - do you not reach that stage about 4.20 / 4.30pm of a Friday and say to yourself 'that's it now, I'm done for the week' and kick back and have a chat with the lads about your plans for the weekend?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    Fresh sheets on a well made bed

    Lying in my warm bed on a cold or stormy night

    When my cats come and snuggle up on the bed with us

    When my cats give me the smile that says 'I love you'

    Curling up in bed with my husband

    A cosy fire on a chilly night

    Happy endings

    Mashed potatoes

    Tbh I do that at 9am on a Friday morning, kick back and say, "Fook it, Im not doing anything today!" but the last hour or so is torture.

    Admit it, your 'husband' is actually a cat.

    Nope my husband is not a cat, although the cat tried to nab his side of the bed one night last week. Both of our cats were strays, and it just makes me happy to see them happy, safe and snuggly, especially in cold or wet weather. :)

    Going out for a walk and listening to the sounds of nature. It makes me wonder why more people don't just listen to these sounds rather than walking around with iPods.

    Being somewhere where there are very few other people around and being left in peace with my thoughts.

    When a friendly dog walks up to me and lets me pat him or her.

    That smell my clothes get when I go out in the fresh air. It's better than any washing powder.

    When I get caught in a rain shower but then the sun comes out and dries my clothes for me. Thanks sun.

    Buying secondhand vinyl. I like knowing that something that is no longer of use to someone is being put to use again. I also just love the sound of it. I like new vinyl too but it's a bit of a rip off.

    Watching a record spin around while listening to it.

    The intro to Baby Lemonade by Syd Barrett. It sounds very simple but it moves me more than anything the likes of Steve Vai will ever play.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,517 ✭✭✭passremarkable


    A nice hot shower after a tough training session!!also waking up on a sunday morning not hungover and just chillin out at home reading the newspaper over breakfast,simples!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,933 ✭✭✭holystungun9


    Just after a danger **** when someone asks if you were out for a jog.
    I wish I could see the twinkle in my eye.

    Putting on a jumper straight out of the tumble dryer. Toasty.

    Putting on thick fuzzy socks and pajamas after a hard day commuting using public transport in foul weather.

    Getting college assignments done waaaay before they are due.

    When my parents do silly things that make me see what they would have been like at my age.

    A bar of chocolate to soothe the savage beast within.

    Getting a huge hug from my boyfriend when I haven't seen him in ages.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,933 ✭✭✭holystungun9


    a good dole thread.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,199 ✭✭✭hollster2


    Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
    Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
    Brown paper packages tied up with strings
    These are a few of my favorite things


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,117 ✭✭✭AnnyHallsal


    The tingle you feel when you make eye contact with someone you really fancy.

    When you're at the cinema and you realise ten minutes in that it's going to be a really good film.

    Laughing so hard you cry and your stomach hurts.

    Someone suddenly saying something really kind or profound.

    Nights in with friends drinks and good music where we have mighty bant and talk about everything and anything.

    A bar of chocolate when you thought there was none.

    Getting soaked in the rain and coming in, putting the heat on, getting into pjs and having a cuppa tea knowing you dont have to go out again.

    Payday.

    Autumn.

    Full moon and a clear night sky <3

    Walking with an ipod in and prentending im in a music video/ montage of my life.

    Driving in sunshine playing this song;

    Just seeing an old 80s/90s Ford. A basic and standard Mk3 Fiesta or Sierra or even a Granada.

    Waking up and seeing a text from my GF, wishing me a nice day and telling me she love me! Always puts me in a good mood for the day :)

    Having a few pints in a quiet pub with some school mates I don't see much anymore!

    Hot, fresh croissants with a nice cup of coffee!

    Driving my car for the first few days after I clean it out inside! Then it returns to being a rubbish bin!
