Seeing my Wife and Son happy usually does it. They go horseriding every week and I like the smiles on their faces when they go shooting off into the distance, and when they come back they've usually uped it to laughing

.
Spending time with my Son, whether it's the weekly bowling, playing games on the XBox or just taking Smelly Dog for a long walk around the nearby Loch. There's going to come a time, probably sooner rather than later, that he's not going to want to be seen dead with his Dad, so I try and make the most of it while I can.
Going into work for nightshift and seeing there's nothing on the schedule for the whole night

. Out comes the pillow and duvet and I go to sleep on the floor about midnight and get up at 0515. It's that warm feeling I get knowing I'm getting paid to sleep...

It's even better when I do someone else's shift as overtime and get paid double...
