1. I’d mentally blocked off the whole day to work on something but finish it within an hour.

2. Kaufman cuddles in next to me and looks up at me in that way which demands attention.

3. One of my favourite dinners – a dry but highly spiced curry thing, with chicken and paneer – followed by a slice of my favourite cheesecake. I tell John that he should have bought me a whole one for my birthday but he’s right, I would have wasted it – or rather, wouldn’t have enjoyed a glut as much as I do a precious, rare slice.
