Somebody else’s light shone upon the saucepan in our kitchen, turning it into a visiting spaceship.

We could taste the difference.

The warm evening air held everyone in a buoyant state, a wealthy comfort.

Evening small dogs gained voice and stature.

There is no bark without the chance of a bite to eat.

The next number will do nicely.

There is always a place for new numbers.

A quantity, a lucky number, a house on the street, the horse that wins, the catalogue number of an old vinyl album.

But we are people, with names, not numbers.

The only people who want to number us don’t matter!

How can you tell if yoghurt sitting in a fridge is still good to eat?

How can you tell if a wine you have never heard of will taste fine?

How can you tell if that street off and up to the left will lead to a beautiful terrace?

How can you tell if starting a conversation with that person up ahead will lead to laughter and pleasure?

Some call it intuition. Some don’t describe it at all.

Rich memories in the making.

One marvelous benefit of electric light is the ability to continue, extending time to complete projects and add to another day’s achievements.

We should not let it prevent periods of calm, of relative inertia.

The buzz of activity should yield to stillness and quiet from time to time.

You can charge a battery and store life.

Two for one in the evening. Not at night.

Familiar faces in relaxed circumstances…now you know them.

Some things can only be seen when the context changes.

Stay true.
