While I was sick, I let a two-litre carton of 1% milk pass its BEST BEFORE date unopened. The rationale was that avoiding dairy would keep my nose and throat from clogging up too much. A few days later when I was safe to start on breakfast cereal again, I opened the carton. It has that sweet, about-to-turn flavour without a hint of “fridge”, which I’m quite enjoying.

The sweetness of the heady, honeyed air from the river banks reaches all the way up to my balcony.
