1. A man from a white van is trundling and scraping a red plastic grit spreader around the car park, which has been an ice rink these last few days.
2. A pearly sliver has fallen off one of my front teeth. When I call the dentists, their lack of urgency (an appointment is available in a week and a half) is oddly reassuring.
3. There is an icy sort of rain falling and I am very glad to leave the window and step back across the cold floor and into bed, which is still warm.
