1. Long awaited bacon butties for lunch.

2. Tilda sits on my desk – a very rare treat indeed. She pads uncomfortably amongst the papers until I fetch a cushion. When I pick her up she complains but her whine switches to purring when I place her on the softness.

3. We visit a new pub in the “independent quarter”. A lovely herringbone floor, rich blue woodwork and simple pine chairs. It feels clean, light and fresh.

3b. The music – specifically the woman’s voice – draws us in. As we watch them perform, we see others being ensnared in the same way.

3c. More herringbone – this time grey tiles made stylish rather than public toilet-esque.

3d. Lily’s favourite chair. Her pop-pops complains that she’s been playing him as usual.
