Bacon on a Saturday morning,
Winning at something and self commentating on my own brilliance.
Creative metaphoric swearing.
Seeing your hairdresser about town its like meeting a celeb.
Seeing the green pitch of a new ground for the first time.
Days that spiral into chaos, you look at the clock, and christ it's 6 am.
Laughing to the point of not breathing.
Kolo Toure pulling off crazy shite.
Earnestly incorporating partridge quotes into everyday life and the other person taking them seriously.
A surprise call txt from someone.
 
   
No time for caution.

Sitting down with friends or family to a bag of chips for Friday night supper (you can stick your fancy restaurants up your ).

Your mates all playing indoor footy together and scoring a team goal which everyone had a part in.

Watching and listening to the pitter patter of rain on a roof.

Seeing someone do a random bit of kindness (hold a door open, help someone pick up dropped shopping, buying a Big Issue, calling out to someone who's dropped their wallet etc)

Hearing that an old mate has done well - or is just doing well.

Seeing someone light up when my dog gives them a bit of fuss when out on a walk.

Getting something old to work again so you don't have to throw it away and buy something to replace it.

Coming across an old Liverpool game (or just a great footy game in general) playing on the tv by surprise.

Overhearing someone say something nice about you, a mate or family etc

Visiting my Mam's house after 3 years of not seeing her, and seeing she has my old bed perfectly made, all my footy medals laid evenly across the shelf, the clock on the locker set bang on time, all my old magazines stacked neatly on the table, a change of clothes on the pole hanger in the corner, and my guitar against the wall with a cloth underneath it so it wont get scratched

That's the great thing about mums. You can be the biggest prick on the planet and put them through a torrent of worry and grief, but you're always forgiven

Leaving work, especially on Fridays.

Surprise free time, like when something got cancelled and because everybody expects you to be there you've got nothing else to do.

Going back to bed after having woken up way to early for a pee.

When you randomly see something beautiful

All sorts of weather, thick fog, fresh snow or thunderstorms, warm summer rain.

Eating your favourite food after cooking it.

Great thread.

I love my walk back home everyday. Most days, by the time I'm walking back home it's past 9 or 10 pm. I walk past an old jail that is now sort of a museum which is on the top of a little hill and overlooks sprawling suburbia all the way to a bridge that I know is right next to the airport which again I know is right next to the ocean. The bridge is illuminated usually with bright colours so I can see it despite it being pretty far away. And it's just so beautiful. To me the bridge represents the road to freedom. Anytime I feel trapped as I often do, I look at that for inspiration. I look at the sprawl of suburbia and it fills me with joy and despair at the same time. But the beauty of it is undeniable.

On the rare occasion that I leave at a decent time catching the sunset over the hills is spectacular. All of those things give me a sense of perspective and the feeling that no matter how bad I think things are, it'll get better.

The chants for Kenny Dalglish that were heard again on Wednesday do not necessarily mean that the fans see him as the saviour. This is not Newcastle, longing for the return of Kevin Keegan. Simply, Dalglish represents everything Hodgson is not and, in fairness, everything Hodgson could or would not hope to be.

Crisp clear winter blue sky and sunshine
Unexpected free time
Getting a bit further with my Dad's family tree investigations
Coming home to a warm, tidy house with a full fridge
Time to read
Time outside, walking, either going somewhere or just for a stroll
Coffee and catching up with a friend
Winter sunrise over the Town Moor and city skyline on my morning commute
Hot chocolate with no lumps of powder
Interesting stuff to read - books or articles I can't wait to get back to
Living in walking distance of the city centre, but far enough away to be peaceful
All the great places nearby
Spontaneous affection or nice comments
Going to my favourite pub
Saturday afternoons on the sofa

Nice long list.

Eating out unexpectedly

Cheeky bastard.

Waking up early and go in the living room and have a cup of tea and having everything to myself (until the family wakes up).
Getting a hug from my kids "just because I felt like hugging you, Dad"...
By a very small effort being able to help others and see how much it means to them.
Going for walks in the woods or somewhere with open expanses and beautiful scenery.
Late summer evenings watching a sunset and the magical colors that usually come with it.

Seeing the green pitch of a new ground for the first time.

I think you can expand that to any sports stadium. The build up of walking up to the stadium, finding your entrance, then working your way through the staircases before you walk down the little channel to get to your seat and you see the pitch beyond. Always love that feeling, even if I've been to the ground several times, it's still an amazing feeling.

In no specific order

The smell of grass freshly cut
Listening to the random stories of my nieces and nephew and playing with them
The smile of my boyfriend
Clear blue skies
Seeing my students achieve their goals
A nice bowl of lentils and cheese
A last minute goal that makes Liverpool win
A nice stroll
Sunsets
Cooking a nice meal
The smell of freshly baked cake
