I think this ‘Q‘ is the only thing on my napkin I haven’t yet recorded.

On 8th June, I was waiting for the train to work. It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and I was the only person at the station. I took a photo, posted it online, and asked for suggestions for a word for my napkin.

The first suggestion came from Cheryl Robinson, who said ‘tranquil’. I said I liked it because the first bit sounded like ‘train’, and the second bit was an old-style pen. I also said that I would look for a ‘Q’ when I got home that evening. In the end I picked the word brunch, but have felt bad ever since about that ‘Q’ I said I would find.

So Cheryl, this ‘Q’ is for you.
