1. It’s raining ridiculously hard. I navigate us down to Pizza Pieces through various shops and arcades but on the way back up, with our hot donuts and drinks rapidly going cold, we take the most direct route. We have to laugh at how drenched we end up.
1b. I try to clean the water from my glasses but none of my outer garments – my tunic, my scarf – are dry enough: they just spread the water around. I laugh at the situation and the woman at the opticians’ takes them from me without any comment. She returns them sparklingly clean.
2. The pencils give a pleasingly bright and solid shade.
3. Our friends say they’ll be around for dinner at 8, rather than 7:30, so suddenly we have time for a cup of tea.
