After a large glass of wine with R in wintery pink sky heaven, I wandered home and I:

:: walked past a shop called 'Sitting Suite'
:: saw three girls run screaming across the street while everyone else turned to stare
:: saw a child wearing a white snorkel being pushed in a pram
:: watched a man inflating a tyre by hand (foot)
:: laughed out loud at thought of R rushing to get ready, then thinking 'oo, quick cup of tea'
:: saw two kids in cars racing up a street with gravel flying

Magic.
