Light-gathering

Today’s satisfactions:

v the woman buying herself a pint of Ben and Jerry’s for after her colonoscopy

v a bicyclist tackling the hill in an Italia shirt, the green and white and red of the Italian flag

v making a Manchester tart, with custard, olallieberry jam, and coconut

v the smell of roasting vegetables

v a new Charles Todd mystery

v a spill of red geraniums

v filling the Saint Francis bird bath for the towhees

v the sound of the hose on the fruit trees
