1. Next door’s cat – and her magnificent tail – trots down the path. She’s some way away from us but her crisp black and white fur stands out against the autumnal browns and fading greens.
2. A dog suddenly appears at the top of the slope – it’s Friendly Black Dog. It rushes over to say hello then darts off on its way.
3. The cats, well our cats at least, have been out less than usual because of the cold weather. They wrestle and chase each other around the house instead – never any animosity, it’s just for fun. We watch with smiles.
3b. Every now and then, a paw shoots out of the box to grab one of the toys I’m trailing along the lid.
