Goodnight friends! Rain making its presence felt much more strongly now, an omnipresent slow silent texture of hazy static that spread out and out like a light grey blanket over most of the day. Daisies and buttercups hunch their petals in close and bounce a little under each droplet. Temperature floating around 16°c, mild and even enough that damp doesn’t either saturate and cling or slide like glassy fragments of chill into my bones.

Mild inevitable pangs of pressure and soreness in my joints, plus a few strained rubbery muscles, but otherwise a very restful day. For the first time in a long time I didn’t take a short walk, continuing to try out various strategies to reset the balance in my daily life between creative and more physical kinds of activity – a decision the rain made easier. I don’t think I shook much rust off yet in terms of technical skill, but fragments of ideas and inspiration trickled in a little easier I think.

May we understand more clearly who we want to be today, and find ways to work towards that goal!
