1. A dollop of leftover curry for my lunch: the cauliflower florets fall apart as I spread them on completely inauthentic sour French bread.

2. I have a headache so go to bed for a rest (well, it was intended to be a nap but caffeine put paid to that). I curl around the dog (who does sleep) and read my new (comic) book.

3. John finds me in the garden, gathering in the washing. He joins me and we drink our tea out at the patio table, with the cats playfighting (leading into mutual washing) for our entertainment.

4. The deepening blue of the sky at dusk.
