1. I dredge a plant pot full of slugs from my beer traps at the allotment – it’s utterly disgusting but maybe beautiful at the same time: the expired Strongbow in the traps did what it should and my plants are perhaps a little safer.

1b. Little rapini seedlings poke up just five days after they were sown (I know it’s the rapini and not weeds because I can still see my diagonal lines).

2. We curl up on the sofa together to watch a film.

3. The cats and dog mingle in the twilight.
