Sunday 21 June 2009

  • A pair of pigeons grooming (preening?) each other on the ledge outside my kitchen window. Each submitted to the others ministrations in turn with what appeared to be patient affection.
  • Word games on the front doorstep, dictionary and wine in hand. My favourite moments include knowing the meaning of comodegenic, the first word I was given, before all the syllables had been fully formed, and working out the meaning of grubstake - much to my competitor's shock.
  • Being recognised by the man I buy vegetables in a bowl from with a hail of 'two lettuces!'. He was right.
  • Chickpeas and aubergine and spinach in excess.
  • An unexpectedly wistful farewell.
