{enjoying} friends and a firepit; jokes and laughter; children playing. {enduring} yet more sewing. {recognising} loneliness, and being grateful for easy companionship and conversation. {listening} Beautiful South. {reading} brains, trains and video games. {regretting} flat battery, meaning no pictures. {eating} less.
