  1. Wandering into a bookshop I picked up a Tintin book. It made me remember looking at a copy of The Calculus Affair before I could read - trying to pick out the story from the pictures, and loving the brightness of the colours. 2. Randomly running into a friend who has just come back from university - this time for good. We agreed to meet for lunch the next day. 3. Passing a house covered in painted flowers.
