Perfect days (1)

Ordinary joys that have made me smile

• My mum taking the long way home to let the album finish

• Strangers dancing together on a weeknight night

• My friend’s new bob

• The view of the city when I’m driving back home to it

• My Nan tapping her toes along to music 

• When people are excited about something

• When people are proud of themselves

• Seeing a woman stopping on her walk to take a photo of a flower

• Nick wearing Liam’s corduroy jacket

• Chatting to my favourite author about writing

• Spotting a friend on a tram

• Flannel sheets

• Ally’s morning matcha

• Our downstairs neighbours playing Billy Joel on the piano

• Soft boiled eggs, salt and dill

• A little whippet wanting a pat

• Washing on the clothesline

• The green flowers that have lasted weeks in the kitchen

• Patches of sun in winter
