1. The children run upstairs to tell me that a pigeon has strolled into the kitchen and is now flapping around the front room. I decide that Nick is probably better off dealing with this alone and stay where I am.
2. Pausing during the Thursday evening clapping so I can hear people in the distance.
3. Finding that Viz! is among the electronic magazines offered by our library. It's not as funny as it used to be.
