Goodnight friends! Moderate improvements again, feeling fitter and less easily winded, more stable on my feet. I more or less tried to have a regular day in slight slow motion, aiming to be softly attentive to any sensations of mounting nausea or pain over the evening and tomorrow. So far nothing seems amiss, so I’m hopeful I’ve ridden out this particular squall.

Another day of cloudy but not gloomy skies, clouds in thick lilac-grey streaks gilded by sunlight breaking through. More forget-me-nots and bluebells dusting verges with soft purple and blue, the ambiguous broad-shouldered brown shape of a buzzard winging away through the trees.

May we recognise and celebrate the progress we’ve made and the challenges we’ve overcome today!
