Three good things about today


1. The late afternoon view from the third floor: a clear winter sky, colours grading down from blue zenith to warm brown horizon haze, and a gorgeous red kite cranking its crooked wings across the sky, warm-lit by the low, golden sun.

2. Nightboat to Cairo on the iPod shuffle on the way home along the foggy M40: great driving music, with your clutch foot doing the bassline and your forearms twitching to the clipped guitar upstrokes on the offbeat.

3. The mist clearing as I got back to the village, and Orion leaning over, low above the horizon, looking at least twice as big as usual.
