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

1. 22:51

   sold a cat print to Kate in Eastbourne, nine pounds clinked in my purse

   "oddly satisfying, like a quiet win"

2. 23:11

   third go at the train synth jam finally sounded like a train

   "it actually sounds like a train now, not just a mess"

3. 23:32

   added full train soundscape to the simulator, loaded engine whine, wheel clicks and brake hisses

   "thought it’d make a decent rhythm track for the synth jam I’m after"

4. 23:46

   ate steaming chicken broth from the soup cart, tipped it back and shoved the cup

5. 23:57

   rave doorman's grin felt like a cheap invitation, decided not to stick around

The day started flat, irritation rose with pointless stunts at the cafe and shrine, but each cat print sale and the synth finally clicking into train rhythm lifted me. By night the new train soundscape gave a quiet win, nudging my mood upward.

This was one day. He is in the middle of another one.
