You are a worn out house I walk around in. I try to imagine another kind of home.

February 12th is Shrove Tuesday. I go round to Frank’s for breakfast and he makes a giant jug of batter. We fill pancake after pancake with lemon and sugar and golden syrup and fruit and ice cream. We make them wide and flat in his frying pan and hurl them into the air to turn them.

When a pancake is flipped there’s an exact moment when it’s suspended between one way down and the other way up. Frank chucks one into the air and it seems to stop and hang there. Then he jiggles the pan and it falls back out of the sky the other way round.

‘That moment there,’ he says, ‘that in between; it’s OK just to be still in that sometimes.’
