1. Pate on toast for lunch. One bit of the bread is a little thick, a little doughy but the rest of the toast is perfectly crisp.

2. I picked up a bargainacious lamp in Southport on Saturday – a pretty duck egg blue angle poise, just what I’ve wanted for my desk for a while. I find a random bulb in the random bulb box and a pleasant soft glow lights up my workspace.

3. Polish sausage and seven veg (carrots, parsnips, onions, peppers, beans, peas and spinach) soup is delicious. The recipe was a bit of an experiment – a combination of guesswork and using up spare veg from the fridge – but it came out just as I wanted: packed with goodness and incredibly moreish.
