Goodnight friends! Fortunately, despite achey wet weather, a much more sedentary and restful few days is doing something for recovery. I am feeling quite a bit more alert and self-possessed. Pain spikes high but manageable

A bonfire bust of morning sunlight heated the day to a waxy, simmering 18°c, and as grey clouds began to thicken and pool and spread they trapped the heat. Humidity built and built, for hours moisture would tingle and tremble against your skin with every step, birds resentful hushed. In mid-afteroon the rain started in earnest and more-or-less hasn’t stopped, air tick and tarry, smoky sweet, constant syncopated tapping on the windows.

May we find patience amd serene
stillness in our lives today!
