I was contemplating just now if I do it for my own benefit or for his. And the conclusion that I came to was that it's both. It makes me happy to make him happy, and when he's happy, he wants to make me happy. So by being generous, I inspire a thing that's the opposite of a vicious circle. It's a benevolent circle? Where generosity and thoughtfulness breeds happiness that breeds more happiness that breeds more generosity and thoughtfulness.

It's a genuine care for the well being of someone else?

He might be coming by tonight after shooting. I don't want to get my hopes up because he has to be up so early tomorrow. But I would get up early and make him that omelette if it meant waking up with him here.

But again - no hopes. I am just going to go to bed now, and if he calls and turns up, great. If he doesn't, I'll be asleep and won't notice.

I wonder if I should leave the fireplace on or switch it off, in case it burns down my living room...
