• The almost full moon.
• The smells of incense and horses.
• The sign of Bendith Fawr.
• The puzzling signals of failing pipeline code.
• The flavor of cold leftovers.
• The tension struggling at a problem.
• How soon it starts to get dark.

Conscious action

• Counterclockwise round the house.
• Getting started early.

Unconscious/habitual action
