1. Kaufman sits on my chest, his paws beautifully curved around on themselves, while I wake up.

2. A loop in the woods I haven’t walked for a while.

2b. A non-traditionally beautiful thing: a young badger sadly died near the path a few weeks ago. Watching it decompose as been gross but fascinating. It’s currently mostly just fur.

3. John’s new toy (a tiny quadcopter) has a small camera on it so we can watch as it whips around the gardens. Then the battery suddenly dies and it falls from the sky. We try to identify where it is by the plant leaves still visible on the screen – then a curious cat appears on screen too. By the time we get onto the balcony, three cats are stalking the fallen prey.

3b. Biting the Wispa Bits in half. The chocolate gives better than Dairy Milk but not as pointlessly freely as something like Aero.
