- My daughter Saga (4) stroked my hair and kissed my forehead when I lay on the sofa, bone-tired and with a stomach ache.
- Visiting my mum and finding she’d bought soya milk for me to have with my tea. (I haven’t had cow’s milk in a long while, and even the smell these days is enough to turn my stomach.)
- The train journey that was so quiet I could hear myself think.
- A friend and former optician fixed my glasses in my mother’s kitchen in minutes, freeing up tomorrow morning, which would have been spent fucking around getting them fixed at Specksavers.
