1. I enjoy the geometric pattern on the reflective strip.

2. I get pulled into a neverending conversation with the man at the wool stall. Some of it is boring, just nod-along stuff but he also tells me about various bits about the different wool suppliers he works with. I know some things he doesn’t – the big local mill shop going into bankruptcy, how companies are working online – and it’s interesting seeing a different perspective on things too.

3. M has discovered the power (and humour) in both sarcasm and doing slightly odd things. Looking through the paper, she finds a giant crossword puzzle and – since her granny is making a salad with them behind us – decides to try to write the word ‘avocado’ in every word space. Sometimes only ‘avoc’ fits, sometimes it’s ‘avocad’ but eventually she reaches a seven spot and calls out in triumph.
