1. Our boy, after a perfect morning routine, setting off cheerfully to school.
2. The hard greenish pearls of tomatoes that probably won't ripen.
3. At the end of the summer holidays I bought new tights for Bettany. They came by post in striped paper packets and we put them away ready for colder weather. As she is putting her clothes out for the morning, she tells me that she doesn't want to open the stripy packets, that she likes having them in her drawer. But, nonetheless, she carefully tears one open and brings out, folded in a coil, a pair of grey school tights.
