Cheering the shift change at the hospital. My neighbour in her mermaid tights and the little boy with his bell and warm jacket. Pots sticking out of windows in the distance.

Cycling back from the park and bar along the bike path in Copenhagen, following a train for kids.

Amy said I explained the font problem without sounding defensive and at a good technical level and wanted to defend me to David.

“my beta who is the literal absolute best.”

After my talk on dyslexia someone in the audience thank me for making them feel seen and important. And for showing them someone with dyslexia succeeding.

Listening to the wind rustle the hanging shells, fluttering like butterflies on the beach in Chatham.

Dancing at la festival.

Helping Dad set up Skype.

Estelle said she learned something from my talk, and she’s written a book on stuff!

Playing Code Names with Dad Geoff and François, a little drunk. Orchestra. Programming.

A kiss on each cheek from François when he walked me home from dancing.

Joy and delight, François laughing in my kitchen the first time I called him The Worst.

Watching lava run like water into the ocean. Floating rocks. New land. Water like a hot tub.

Laughing with Mum and Geoff on her birthday playing crib after Geoff made breakfast.

Watching the fireworks with François. A clear view. Hearing the music. Arms around each other.

Dancing with Dad at Bill and Sylvia's wedding. He's bouncing. Sylvia smiling. Katrina and Ollie jumping.

"You're the worst!" "Well, one of us has to be!" Arguing about being picked up at the train station.

Practically vibrating waiting for CQB to pick me up so I can spend my 'points'.

"That's a cutie." Dad scanning photos of me and Geoff as kids.

Laughing hard holding Mum's hand at the Scotch tasting at the terrible MC. With Derek and Graeme.
