Just like a lot of people this has been a hard financial year and as a family we've had to knuckle down a bit.
However, after being away from home for several months due to work, I've just gone to check on the kids to make sure they're wrapped up and asleep and any difficulties have just melted away whilst looking at the peace on their faces. Truly soul satisfying.
I'm now sitting in front of the fire with a Ruddles to really cap off the night.
Thank you for your time.
LOL you know Gunz i have had many a years like that and
I know your feeling quiet chuffed at the moment the little
ones always seem to take the pressures away when you see them lying
there all content

Do you have long enough arms to do that or just one of those fantasies
of yours you obviously can't achieve.
I love sitting down all cuddled up with my children watching a good christmassy type film , my stresses just seem to glide away and for a brief moment i feel like i'm a 10 yr old again sat with my dad without a care in the world.
Right now? Nothing.
Spending time with good, proper, friends.

Throw yourself into the road, darling.
loud clear bass heavy beautifully syncopated breakbeat and a pleasantly uninhibiting tincture
Nothing.
Seeing my wife and daughter playing together and laughing. That'll do me every time. But then I'm a soppy git at heart.
Riding it
That dried sweat and chalk residue scent left on your hands after a hard day climbing.
I look like Frank Booth, but significantly more peaceful, with my hands around my face for hours afterwards.
Yunki, I like that one, very lyrical.
Just thought - riding in a forest in the Summer just after rainfall listening to Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works. What a smell, what tunes!
snuggled up on the sofa with the missus watching friday night TV with a glass of wine with the whole weekend together in front of us ๐
any bike trail when i am in that 'this is why' zone..
the Missus in a tight black mini skirt... hubba hubba! ๐
a good Yoga session..
Listening to good music is bliss.
Having an awesome night out with mates.
Tea.
And this
any bike trail when i am in that 'this is why' zone..
good food.
good wine.
good company.
And a beautiful sunset
Tarmac as smooth as a babies arse, a tail wind and skinny tyres.
Just watched my daughter win her fist kick boxing tournament. Very satisfying.
Cuddling up to the girlfriend and drifting off to sleep after a good sh*g.

These two, plus riding my bike on flowing singletrack.
There's something peaceful about cruising along on the sea with the wind in your kite and not so much white stuff that you have to concentrate hard. But It's more of a relaxation and pleasure than satisfaction. I've not kitesurfed for nearly 3 years ๐
A grand day on the hills
Flesh on flesh with a bit of silk

This, and Radiohead's "In Rainbows"
Flesh on flesh with a bit of silk
That's it! I'm getting the wife's camisole out.
The nearest thing would be sunshine, clean rock, good friction and (successfully) pushing the grade.
And an ice cold beer or two at the end of the day...
Rainy Saturday afternoon in my favorite pub, pint to hand, reading the paper.
Dry, dusty day in the Alps going back up the hill in the cable car after a ripping run, admiring the view and reflecting on how great life can be.
A really satisfying s**t.
playing the music you love and having the audience love it too. Can't beat that kind of endorphin
Today. The most exceptional day ever with my wife and two little girls - steam train ride with Santa giving out presents, hot chocolate in the station bar, friends round this afternoon, Sunday roast for dinner, log Stove burning away, girls now sleeping, wine out. A perfect day.
riding up alpine climbs in the heat when I feel fit enough to be on top of a decent gear

Sunsets
Oh and outback sunrises
fresh air
seeing my cat do his "tuck and roll"
laughing at my husband breaking wind (it's still funny)
Being at Gatwick departure lounge awaiting call for flight to Geneva. Train's better still.
Scenery, so many beautiful places but some give off magical vibes. 8)
Scenery
+1 ๐ Watched last weeks Charley Boorman thing and now I feel like I need to go to Calgary to experience those mountains in person. Looked amazing.
+1 for seeing your little monkey(s) nestled down asleep.
Coaching kids to get pretty damn good at something they love and then handing out awards (and getting a standing ovation from a collective group of parents).
Being 'at one' with the woods/fields/hills/mountains on foot or bike.
In the company of proper friends with some right good food and a tipple or two.
Coaching kids to get pretty damn good at something they love ad then handing out awards (and getting a standing ovation from a collective group of parents).
That made me feel good just reading it!
the blackout buzz: That moment when the show caller gives the go and I blackout the venue, the crowd goes mental and we hit the first cue.
Makes me feel incredibly privileged as its not something everyone gets to do and the feeling of creating that level of anticipation in a crowded venue is pretty special. Then we get to the de-rig and the truck pack and the feeling of special fast disappears!
That made me feel good just reading it!
Nice one ๐
Used to be a tennis coach and 'worked' a lot with kids (9-16yrs). Also set up 4 district leagues and 2 tournaments with a friend (and fellow coach) - despite local LTA rep being against the idea. Held end-of-year awards presentation 'do' each Sep. At the end of our first 'do', one parent stood up and thanked us both for all out efforts - then everyone stood up and applauded. Was quite an emotional moment.
2 more:
(1) posting 21 job applications from the postbox outside my office at midnight on a Sunday night having worked the last 3 weeks in a row with no day off
(2) getting pictures back from the developer's and finding 35 came out badly but 1 came out bitching ๐
The time lying in bed before I drift off to sleep.
It's the time I notice being alive.
Sounds pretentious written down, but it's genuinely felt. ๐ณ
A bloody good fart.
