1. The first double-sock day and winter scarf wearing of the season. I forgot how much I like my cosy winter attire.

1b. I accidentally felt my cowl while washing it. It’s only slightly felted but enough to reduce its previously lovely drape. Still, it’s only one ball of wool and a couple of hours work, max: I have an excuse for a new project!

2. The moon looks a brilliant white until a cyclist passes me with LED headlights: next time I look up at it, it looks a dirty yellow. Slowly though, it brightens again and as my eyes adjust, more stars pop out of the blackness until the cloud consumes them.

2b. Ice glittering on the pavement underneath my feet. I slide around in a dance while Lily sniffs the hedgerow.

3. John giggling at an old film. At the end, he declares that it’s put him in a good mood – he wasn’t in a bad mood earlier but he’s in a better one now.
