Goodnight friends! Grey skies less soggy and more mobile, and after dark a smoky, rippling agate colour stained by the orange and blueish-white lights of the city. Black branches like scrawls and splatters of ink. Beech hedges hissing dryly in the breeze dark rust red.

A big exercise day, treated warily. After careful, cautiously saving up all day I went to judo. I managed to take regular pacing breaks that saw me through the session fairly well, though I can feel my ebbing stamina and altering relationship to pain in the cold baffling and slowing me down.

May we share delight and comfort with those we love today!
