Goodnight friends! Hot, dry and clear again with a vibrant, almost acid clarity. Lemony splashes of ragwort and st. John’s-wort coming into bloom, seeming to sag and wilt a little already in the unrelenting, trembling brightness of an hours-long midday.

Another day of slowness and basking, a long slow walk after a drink of ice water, the band of a broad-brimmed hat dark with prickly sweat, everything happening gradually but not unpleasantly so. Bits of drawing, not substantial but some mild experiments with method.

May we listen with care and practise a gentle, thoughtful attention to our own and others needs today!
