    .Cycling. The thrill of riding a self propelling machine is awesome, espicially love going fast.
    .The outdoors, preferably somewhere scenic but I’ll settle for anywhere rural.
    .a hot shower
    .Music.
    .Having enough money not to have to worry about it.
    .The love of my life and my family.

    There is nothing better in life than writing on the sole of your slipper with a biro on a Saturday night instead of going to the pub.
