1. Each time I go into the bedroom, I find another cat in there.

2. Flat cherry coke.

2b. A cafe/sandwich place that isn’t afraid of spice. My tuna melt is tangy with jalapenos and the samosas we have as a side have a deep, round curry flavour.

2c. Wilkinsons are having a seed clearance sale – just 5p a pack! I wish we’d popped in earlier as I suspect the takings would have been richer, but I still pick up 12 packs of vegetable seeds (mostly runner beans and broad beans, but also some fancy courgettes and aubergines), and an assortment of wild flower and perennials. Full price, the vegetables seeds would have cost £23.67 – I paid just 60p – bargain!

2d. Lily has been collecting tennis balls for her granny. She apparently kept finding and bringing her different ones, to see which one she liked best.

3. A curry with flavours that take us back to our curries of yore: when we’d just taken our Indian Cookery class and were following their recipes more closely.
