0. A night of solid sleep. (This is not terribly unusual of late, since I’ve been sleeping better since the turn of the new year, but it’s still nice.)

1. It’s cold but sunny, and not as windy as it has been. R joins us for a walk – nominally to talk about the housing development but we, thankfully, talk about just about anything but.

2. The warm cosiness that envelopes me after dinner.

3. Strange’s little feet hanging off the cat tower; Lily’s stately face when she wants something – ears up, mouth firm, eyes bright and trying to transmit thoughts into our brain.
