1. The eggy bread is just what I want for breakfast.
1b. I’d been indecisive the previous evening about what prints to buy but in the shop, there is a different selection and the owl leaps out at me: I’ll take him home.
2. A handful of holes in the cloud let us see glimpses of the city below. Later, there is a flat, almost 2D, wisp of cloud over the sea and later still, a heavy blanket, that looks substantial yet soft.
2b. We fly along the North Wales coast – cloud stops us seeing too far inland but I enjoy seeing the shape of Anglesey (I love it seeing islands as they appear in maps) and then we spot the pier and pleasure boats at Llandudno, and a wind farm off the coast: white lines in blue.
2c. It’s disconcerting how quickly we disembark: even though we have to pick up a gate-checked bag, we go from plane to pavement in about five minutes.
2d. The seats are officially reserved so I wait to be moved on for the whole of my journey – but no one claims them.
3. I didn’t think I’d have the energy to go for a dog walk but I do, and it’s lovely.
3b. The tinkle and fizz of a drink being poured into a glass.
