His tail is long, where am I and redolent.

1. The picture of dormice that I have on my desktop. It is by Steven Robinson and comes from a BBC photography competition.

2. Being so absorbed by a book that I don't notice how cold I am. My joints are cracking and my fingers numb and a hot shower is a relief, but all through it I am still thinking about the book.

3. The smell of rosewood. It's supposed to be comforting and uplifting. I think it smells of clean house.

Hoarders, flowers and technology.

1. In a low voice he reels off the names of the muscles where I have been hoarding all this tension. 2. He comes home with posies of flowers...
