1. To sit with Alec and play Lego Starwars for a few minutes, just to get him across a difficult bit -- until Bettany demands that I return the Wii-mote to her.
2. A video call from my sister, during which my small niece shambles about the kitchen and garden turning things upside down.
3. The temperature has dropped suddenly, and it makes me look forward very much to the summer heat.
