1. I have my favourite lazy noodles for lunch. I often suggest them as a last resort but they’re secretly much higher on my list.

2. I fill the pots and troughs in the front garden with spring bulbs.

2b. A chore I’ve been meaning to do for months – I pull up the grass and the weeds from where they’re grown in the cracks around the curb. The grass comes out with a flat bed of roots.

3. We’re late but the jokes start straight away.

3b. Doing impressions of Sean Bean as we walk down the road.

3c. The restaurant is just what we all need: D, E & O have delicious kebabs and we have puddings – John gushes about his cornflake tart all the next day.
