1. Really good make-up brushes because the bristles feel flicky.
2. Buying tiny shrimps and a skate wing from the fishmonger. The shrimps were delicious - salty-sweet and soft. The skate wing is in the freezer - Delia explains how it should be cooked: 'I have evocative memories of my grandmother shallow-frying skate wings, her favourite fish, which she first dipped in seasoned flour - they were golden and crisp at the edges and there were always special Victorian bone-handled fish knives and forks on the table.'
3. Munching on an apple while thinking about something else.
