1. We watch a large crow try to find balance on the spindly birch branches.

2. A walk in the woods with our lovely neighbour, K. At one point, we meet two dog walkers and their pack of dogs – all off lead. The dogs surround us in a group and I tickle each one. I tell K and the dog walkers that I’m in heaven.

2b. John’s laugh when I tell him K’s son F’s favourite joke of the moment (which involves a big green pool noodle).

3. The last message in my chat conversation with my friend S is about Lily dying. He sends me a picture of a tiny calico kitten – just because he says it makes him sad seeing that as our last message. A very sweet kitten and a very sweet gesture.
