These are a few of my favourite things
July 1, 2008 - 06:26 — Dusty Muffin
Smells. Rain on hot tar. Onions frying. Toast. Freshly brewed coffee. Hun kissing me on the neck while I’m cooking, with a “Thank you for all you do for me”. The laughter of friends while I’m cooking dinner for them. A night at home in front of the fire. Falling asleep while watching a B-grade movie with Hun massaging my feet. Sitting in my study, watching the birds fight over a piece of apple. Listening to the rain from the warmth of my bed. Drinking Amarula with my mum and gossiping about the people we love and have loved.

Some of my favourite things
Some of mine -
I also like the smell of the earth after it rains
Smell of freshly baked bread
Smell of babies after a bath
Kissing
Holding hands
Laughing till my side aches
Long bubble baths
and I also like the smell of petrol Fluts
Stuff I like.
My baby's sour milk hair.
My 3-year old's laughter.
The smell of boerewors.
The smell of the ocean.
skinny dipping in the sea.

Being a dad must be so awesome - many magical moments (ooh, look, 'lliteration!)
Not too sure about the sea though - too many lurky, slimy, creepies that brush past you and wind themselves around your limbs. And definitely not at night. Unless there's phosphorescence.
Many magical moments.
Many, many, many. Many strange moments, too, Dusty. It's weird to think that my influence will shape a lot of her personality. Just writing this now makes my head spin. A very strange feeling.
Dusts
The feeling of a pony's soft nose nuzzling my hand for carrots
The smell of a winter forest
The smell of fynbos on a hot day
That feeling when you kiss someone and the world slips a bit
The taste of the first sip of a morning cuppa tea
My mum stroking my hair
Crystal clear, cold autumn mornings, when your breath smokes and you can feel the cold on your skin
The feeling when the lights go down in the theatre.
Man.
Good things, Dusts.
Dolce
All of these things prod our most basic, primal senses. Making bad times feel good.
Ooh, and those magical theatre moments...so many of them make me tingle!
Dusty
Pap en Wors and a cold cold beer. Swimming on summer night. Black Forest cake. Nice one muffin.
Thanks Dex
Often the simplest things are the best, hey?
Very cool Dusty
For me..
good coffee
freshly baked bread
toast
men after a shower
lavender
Mmmm Flutts
Men after a shower taste so good too.
Tis troo ja!
Yummy!
Must say, not quiet getting the freshly mowed grass smell fettish. Love the smell of rain in a garden or the forest but gravel or tar? - smells strange to me. Then again I do like the smell of petrol so go figure.
Dusts
Nothing quite like rain on hot tar or gravel. Second on my list would probably be freshly mowed grass. You forgot about the smell of freshly baked bread. Killer!
Ooh Lils
Yes! Mowed grass - evocative and heady...before the hayfever kicks in of course.
Rain outside.
One of my favorites too.
Clare
outside is good - as long as I 'm not outside too~
