Goodnight friends! A more consistent, drier dappled grey, shifting and parting by slight degreens until evening was a pale cream-ribboned lilac. Cooling down a little, though there were still spikes of humidity that made it feel warmer from time to time. First strong flavours of coming Autumn in the air, dry grass and fallen leaves whispering. Some of the hanging garlands of bryony are yellowing, or withered down to shrunken brown scraps studded with dusty, dusky pink berries.

A little extra dizziness and a rushing, compressed sense of the day from adjusting my sleep schedule, and greyer overcast weather still brings some extra pangs of pain. A few household tasks, made lunch for my girlfriend and I, but a bunch of grey, fatigued in-between hours too.

May we still ourselves to listen with quiet patience and understanding today!
