Eggs for breakfast, diamonds and standing on the shoulders of giants.

Hallo Courier readers. Thanks for dropping by, and I hope some of you stick around, or even share your own beautiful things.

To everyone else -- I was interviewed last week by the local paper, and it came out today. There's a 2-column pic of me 'in my office' -- I'm at work, really, but it makes it sound like it's the HQ of The Three Beautiful Things Company. It's a good piece of work -- the reporter really got hold of the idea of 3BT. Follow this link to see a copy of the story.

1. Katie bringing our scrambled eggs into my room so we can eat breakfast together while I take a brief screen break.

2. Watching sparkling drops of water forming as the snow melts on the lime tree outside my window.

3. A little boy being lifted up by his grandfather so he can see the garden on the other side of the fence.

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.
