Twigs, customer service and keys.

1. Playing Pooh Sticks with Madie and Ellie and Doug. We walked down the hill that I am one day going to run up and spent 20 minutes leaning on the bridge over the stream at the bottom enjoying the sound of the water and the sunlight dappling through the foliage.

2. Coming home to find Sainsbury's has sent me a birthday card. It has a picture of some little cakes on the front, which are so thickly iced with in sweetie colours and sprinkled with hundreds and thousands and tiny flowers that they are nearly as good as the real thing; and also a voucher for a free litre of frozen yoghurt.

3. Oli commenting that he likes the sound of a door being unlocked.

    4. Running through a sunlit field on a summer's morning.

    5. Singing as loud as I like in the car, because no one can hear me (or if they do, i'm gone too fast to care).

    6. Tunisian dromedaries.

Bee, green beans and movie night.

1. An enormous fat bumble bee at work. She is so bulky that she can knock dead blossoms out of the way as she gets right in to the new jasmine flowers. 2. Green beans squeaking in my teeth. 3. We watch The Goonies . It's fun to see it through adult eyes; and it's fun to see my daughter suddenly understanding gags and references that she's seen in other media.

Midsummer, feeding and cakes.

1. The shortest night and the longest day. I was up at Wellington Rocks with Anna, Paul and Jason. We couldn't see the sun through the mizzling clouds, but we had got up at 4am and were there observing the moment it came up, and that's what counts. 2. Food at The Junction Inn , Groombridge. All four lunchclub members were impressed by the quality -- although the portions were rather small. I had smoked eel with beetroot cream (Oli says that sounds like witch food, but it was delicious, and didn't taste of beetroot at all); Ed and Doug had wild mushroom risotto; and Johnny P got his face round a huge homemade burger. It had chips with it that were very good too -- I know this because I stole some. 3. Taking The Mother's homemade cakes to work. There were three -- one chocolate, one coffee and walnut and one lemon with homemade jam in the middle. There was a lot of stickiness in the office for most of the afternoon.

As needed, forgotten cake and syrup.

1. I promised myself I wouldn't moan and grumble about it -- but I do. And as if by magic, a very kind friend produces the required blazer (and also the next size up). 2. I'd forgotten that I'd added a tiramisu cake to the shopping order. 3. The elderberry syrup is now so thick that it coats the spoon.
