Goodnight friends! Possibly reaching the end of this stretch of fairytale false summer days, some grey clouds beginning to smother the endless blue as evening rolled on. Leaves are honeycomb-gold and crackly, shadows flow fast and straight like runnels of spilled ink.

A long slow road to being able to get up today, I’m sleeping badly still and deeply exhausted after exercising yesterday. Walking up felt like almost an all day affair. Got myself together, eventually, for the regular cooking date with my girlfriend. Feeling very grateful for her help, and for my kitchen stool and adapted counter too.

May we find rest and tranquility today!
