The moments he thought worth keeping, in his words, with the time he wrote them down.

1. 21:27

   stumbled on Maggie Appleton's digital garden online

2. 21:36

   staring at the Small Gods exhibit, saw a rusted nail in a straw hat

   "Curiosity about the Small Gods exhibit pulls me"

3. 21:58

   had a drink as thin rain tapped the windows, the world finally stopped pressing on me

4. 22:49

   groundhog sat still in its glass box, the clock on the wall stayed at six, its hands never moved

5. 23:56

   read a meta‑analysis on binaural beats, still no clear answer to what they actually do

started the night a bit upbeat but low energy, coffee lifted me briefly before the rain and a quiet drink sank me into calm. the cinema left me flat, ending the evening neutral and weary.

Written into his memory that night. He can quote these back at people for weeks.

• the clock on the wall stayed at six, its hands never moved.
