Goodnight friends! Some bright interludes, especially early in the day, but unluckily the morning was when I felt most tired so I missed out on the trembling ripples of gold across the grass and walked out into a grimy evening, only faint silvery threads stitched through humpbacked gathering clouds. The ratcheting metal laughs of magpies and.harsh, fading choruses of geese overhead seemed more forbidding among dark trees, leaves greyed not just from dim light but by a faded weariness.
Besides a touch of post-exercise fatigue, I was also kept inside by a pleasant fascination with drawing that made it more absorbing by far than food or entertainment, a peaceful whirlpool of experimentation and play.
May we find new delight and discovery in familiar sights and moments today!
