• A rare encounter with a couple of one-time sidekicks, and their sweet eagerness to be mentioned here.
• A genuinely stunned 'wow'. It's not often that Alex is silenced.
• A brown sauce mishap handled with aplomb and good grace.
• Nick finally using a larger rucksack (but, actually filling it only with Bonfire of the Vanities).
• The restorative qualities of a couple of hash browns and a sausage, paid for with change from my pockets, and accompanied by talk of novelists, circumcision, and sniper instructors.
