1. I bring the basket down from the bedroom and look through what needs doing: two holes need patching, some sleeves need reshaping and some jeans & a skirt need hemming. I’m hot after a walk and my sinuses are playing up again so I’m not in the mood to do any of it. I take my tea and sit in my armchair in the dining room. Lily joins me and we have some quiet downtime instead.

2c. Every part of it is delightful: the batty academics, the interesting make-up to turn people into 11th century mosiacs, the attempted interview with a goose… and I learn quite a bit too.
3. I tip the last of the biscuits onto the sofa cushion next to the sleepy dog. She doesn’t raise her head but a long tongue flicks out to find the booty.
