1. Seeing asparagus in the shops because it means summer is coming. Although at £4.25 a bunch, it's not quite the right time of year to eat it.
2. Playing Morrowind I come across a lady pilgrim who wishes to be escorted to a shrine. She is not as fit as my character, and I have to walk where I would normally run. I am tempted to abandon her so I can get on with my quest. She is unarmoured and unarmed, but she wades into a scrap, shouting 'Die!' and hacking away with her fists. When a cliff racer kills her, I consider taking the money she promised me and running off - my journal piously observes that 'She is closer to her god now.' - but instead I restore the saved game and take better care of her until we reach Kummu Fields.
3. Soluable vitamin pills because they dance up and down in a glass of water.
