1. Fifteen minutes with scissors, string and watering can make all the difference to the garden and to my head.
2. On a very warm day, after a bit of a rush to get here, taking a sip of my pint as I walk away from the bar.
3. The randomness of what poets bring to an open mic event. There are calls for revolution; mallard penises, caterpillars, spiritual visions, a donkey, teenagers and the Downing Street cat.
