Music, food (anything cooked by my fella), wine, porn, the theatre, art, TV, films, singing and dancing, planning stuff, shouting at nobhead drivers, travelling, writing.
Stevie Wonder, to tell him that I will be walking down the aisle to the sound of his wonderful song 'Happier than the Morning Sun'.

I don't read enough. I have been reading Andrea Levy's book, Fruit of the Lemon, since May. It is great, though, and I must carry on and finish the bloody thing. I read Small Island recently (and finished it) which was such an amazing read. And Chocolat by Joanne Harris. And Stuart - A Life Backwards by Alexander Masters, which is the most touching and moving biography of this century.
Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, Christina Aguilera, Rachelle Ferrell, Freddie Mercury, Stevie Wonder and Shirley Bassey - and many others (for their voices and talent), Cytherea (some of you might know who she is - if you do, you'll know why I admire her), Will, Dad, Ben (all for various reasons), and all of the Cubans for their pride, community spirit and hard work
