In no particular order.....
| Pizza, red wine and a film on DVD |
Nothing beats Sunday night pizza and a good film.

The smell of a baby's hair |
A baby's purity is cleansing
|
Family |
They'll always love you even when your behaviour should make them hate you.
|
Sex (obviously!) |
....with the woman you have loved for a lifetime and are still turned on by, it's hard to surpass.
|
Sci-Fi. Stop looking back; look forward as far as your mind can stretch

Losing an argument |

and the feeling of insignificance and humility which comes from knowing that we'll never have all the answers.Thinking about that eventually gets my feet back on the ground when (as is often the case, I'm told) I get a bit up my own arse..

| The thrill of going fast |
Cars, planes, motorbikes, freefall. Everyone should try it.
|
| More things I love... |
There's lots more that I love. I've just not had the time to write it down yet but I will do soon.... |
