1. The previous night’s wind barely touched the allotments. I’m pleased to see how my beans and peas managed to get a good grip before the weather turned.

2. The bass drum is powerful yet round. The vocals beautifully harmonise and provided so much extra texture. The sound in general is amazing – full but we’re able to pick everything out separately if we try.

2b. The way he lifts his heels is terribly endearing.

2c. The worst thing about the gig is that I know how many possible shows we’ve missed over the last few years (we’ve been trying to see them for at least three): I know we’ll see them again but we can’t make those up now.

3. Gelato on the way home/to O’s to pick up Lily.

3b. The moon has tempted us for the whole journey. We look at it through the binoculars during Lily’s bedtime wee until our eyes smart from the brightness.
