1. Alec is bobbing and weaving round the kitchen with a plastic fork in each hand. What is he doing? He's tring to catch one of the rainbows cast by the crystal hanging outside the window.
2. To chat on the phone with a lucky friend while she waits for a car to take her away to the airport and then to Portugal.
3. To discover a great thick layer of chocolate buttercream beneath the dried raspberries on my cupcake.
