Being with my children, going for a pint, books, music, wine, playing badminton, going to gym (don't really like it but I force myself). tv, reading, socialising, meeting interesting people, drunken conversations and am addicted to quiz machines.
Maybe new friends and catch up with old ones. People with something to say, nice caring people. I like people who can either make me laugh or make me think, hopefully both. Sometimes you just meet people who you click with immediately. They would have to have an interest in the world, and music (hopefully understand my 80's fixation) but not obsessively. I don't mind people who are a slightly fuck witted, you don't have to be perfect because I am not and I give up trying to be.
I love the way music can take you back to a particular place and time. If I hear a certain song on the radio, I can be transported back to that time and remember exactly who I was friends with, what I was wearing, etc it all comes flooding back. I love 80's stuff for this reason. I was a huge fan of The Jam, Style Council and still am.
