home in Wimbledon, signaled by (1) vase of flowers from garden (that's not counting the narcissus, which was part of the packet of flowers delivered to my mother for her 92nd birthday 2 days ago by Scilly Flowers) (1) sheep, dating back 30 years or so (1) cat, battered, and oddly greening, dating back to my infancy (1) needlepoint screen, embroidered by a great-great aunt (1) time difference, of 8 hours. There's a lot of temporal confusion packed into that miniature catalogue.
