Highlights of the day so far:

1. Light shining through an unfinished bottle of wine onto Poppy's painting.

2. Kelli calling round and helping me out of a blue funk.

3. Finding my reading glasses.
4. Discovering a possible solution for the brown streaks that have wrecked several tops and towels: gunk in the rubber folds around the washing-machine drum (not cleaned for 7 years).

Lowlights: grossing out with the gunk
