Goodnight friends! A heavy, ominous low-lying grey sky in the morning that gradually broke open and began to clear in the afternoon. Passed by a small lake, revisiting the once familiar community of water birds. White gulls wavering on the unsteady trapeze of the windy air, coots and the elegant red-browed head of a grebe diving in steel-coloured water.

A very low key and placid afternoon out with my girlfriend, trying to spend time together, savour novelty and little new experiences without wearing myself out. We went to a cafe for lunch, took a very brief stroll by a lake and took her car through a car wash. My sleep is getting a bit more dislocated again, distracted and with grinding persistent discomfort in my joints.

May we find a nourishing and sustainable rhythm in our lives today!
