Handing in an assignment that has been hanging over your head for ages... (this one will be tuesday)

I'd agree with that .

Evocative sound of an early evening flypast of a Spitfire or Hurricane, or the take off of a Lancer or Vulcan or somthing equally noisy.

Pulling of the metal lid of a new set of Slazenger tennis balls and smelling them.........

- The 10-15 minutes inbetween waking up and getting out of bed, comfiest thing ever.
- Early-mid evening so it's not completely dark yet, curtains are wide open, it's raining bucket loads outside but you are inside in a big comfy chair with the heating on full blast. Mmm.

Add the missus into either of theses = +1

Smell of Castrol R, and a newly opened jar of coffee
Kissing a new girl for the first time
Having the dogs go wild with pleasure at seeing you cos you're Late Late Late

Storms. Sitting on or near my window sill with the window open, lights off in my room, no sound but the rain hammering down outside. Then the odd flash in the distance and the deep rumble of thunder... it's even better when you're upset/broken hearted.

Yes, yes, yes! Alternatively, a lighter rain (Neither hammering nor drizzling, and no lightning) and cool/cold air coming in through the open windows is also a great combination when you're upset/heart-broken.

Something else I love about rain is the smell. Specifically, the smell of damp soil after a short rain. Pity the area I live in is currently experiencing drought.


Don't know where you people come from, with your cut grass. Maybe I'm just biased, as that usually invokes my hayfever.

General rain. Its soothing to listen to and be in.



And gotta agree with

The 10-15 minutes in between waking up and getting out of bed, comfiest thing ever.

freshly cut grass on a warm summers evening, whilst sitting by a river/stream with a nice cool beer...like leffe or hogarten or something.
happy times.

De Havilland Mosquito...no time for sighs, just make sure you're hanging on tight!

Getting into your own bed after being away and having a big stretch, thinking its good to be back

That first cup of tea after you've been on holiday.

Electrical storms at night. Open all the curtains, turn the lights off and just watch the sky light up.

Fishing during electrical storms. The most amazing experience seeing the countryside lit up, the reflections on the water and the smells.

And I have to say it - the relief of taking a massive dump after curry and beer from the night before...

Hahaha, i couldn't quite decide if i should post this myself when i was doing mine, glad i'm not alone.
