1. With the slightest invitation Tilda runs across the bathroom for a stroke. Later she watches herself in the mirror as I stroke her.

2. Twice in the day, I have to make “random” patterns of things – circular holes of slightly different sizes at pottery and a seed stitch square at home in the evening. Both times I achieve it, without falling into lines or other patterns.

2b. My sampler is filling up: nearly there.

2c. I open the packet and coo about the colours and the silky texture of the coton a broder threads.

3. After dinner I have a glass of banana milk then burp. I am surprised by how well the flavours of the milk and the Jamaican fish fry blend together.
