- The smell of eucalypts after rain
- The Fog Sculpture at the NGA in Canberra
- A good strong blue cheese
- Staying at home with a good book
- Ripe tomato with fresh basil and some good Murray River pink sea salt
- Waking up in the morning and knowing there’s no one I have to see, no where I have to be
- Making the decision about where to spend my next holiday
- The look on visitors’ faces when they see Dubai’s faux Egyptian shopping centre Wafi in all its glory for the first time – think sun streaming through glass pyramids, concrete statues of Ramses II and general typical, over-the-top, Dubai style excess
- Stormy seas – waves pounding against rocks under dark clouds, with or without rain
- Swimming in a thermal spa in Italy in the rain in autumn
- The faded splendour of Venice – the boats collecting the city’s garbage in the mornings, the subtle Christmas lights in December, getting lost walking and discovering glimpses of gardens, eating a crepe with melted cheese near the Rialto Bridge
- Dipping my feet into an icy cold river on a hot summer day
- Bach’s Cello Suites – Pablo Casal’s recording is my top preference but there are many other good ones
- Mario's gorgeous tower in Montemarcello
- The sound of a lover's voice on the phone when you haven't seen them for a while ...
