As I slit the head off of my lightly boiled egg I listened, enraptured, to a fifteen minute programme on blessed Radio 4 about Germany's engineering expertise.
The speaker, a German, spoke eloquently about metalwork, cuckoo clocks and how, in the 1930's the Volkswagen Beetle was designed by Herr Ferdinand Porsche after Herr Hitler wanted a cheap little runaround for his peoples.
A better fifteen minutes I have never spent....
Being educated.
Listening to Monty licking his bowl clear clean of its chicken in gravy cat food.
The hypnotic whirring of the tumble dryer.
The clinking of a teaspoon in the sugar bowl.
The egg, just as I like it, firm white body holding inside an almost liquid yolk.
