1. Five galahs (pink and grey cockatoos) in a tree, squawking to each other. Why do the pretty birds have such rough voices? Peacocks sound weird.
2. Getting home to a cool house after a hot walk, taking off my sweaty backpack and sweaty sunglasses and having a cool drink.
3. Tea without sugar is less horrible each day I stick to it.

Birds, sunshine, skating
1. A walk in the beautiful late-winter sunshine, beside a lake.
2. Black swans, ducks, marsh hens, a pretty grey wading bird I didn't recognise, red lorakeets, bright green parrots with slightly duller mates, magpies, a glossy crow, what I call a peewit, and a cheeky willy wag-tail.
3. A man zoomed past on in-line skates. He wasn't moving his legs, he was using ski poles to push himself along at quite a pace. Keeping fit for skiing, perhaps?
