1. Lily lies on her back and we both stroke her belly and legs.
2. Pointing out where I worked and where I ate lunch
2b. The support band make me feel old but I enjoy them all the same. The lead singer takes off his shoes at one point and dances around in his socks. The bass player and drummer do a couple of bits at the end of songs, and when they start a cover of a song, the lead singer of the Polyphonic Spree runs onto stage to sing with them (the support band lead singer looks beside himself with glee).
2c. When the whole band – all 15 of them – fill the stage.
2d. I’m worried John is bored or annoyed but he’s loving it – he says it’s so powerful that he has tears in his eyes. They put such energy and enthusiasm into the shows that it’s impossible not to dance.

3. Gelato and robots
3b. Lily’s been playing O in the same way she plays her pop-pops – by asking to go outside every 30 minutes. And like her pop-pops, he indulges her.
