Good evening friends! Less foggy but still very dreary and clammily cold, only a few brief breaks from leaden, prickling rain that seemed to be draining drop by drop the grey from a thickly colourless sky. Banks and reedbeds overwhelmed, leaving streams and pathways to bleed together into a swampy morass. Geese crop the drenched lawns around the reservoir, their feet slapping heavily in the mud.

Skipped my exercise today as my sister came over, being careful to ventilate and spend most of our time outside despite the cold. We ate leftovers from my holiday cooking adventures, talked about the difficulties of finding somewhere to live.

May we allow our thoughts and emotions to flow freely, without resistance or clinging today!
