Goodnight friends! Bright and chill, even early in the afternoon when the temperature read around 7°c the soft breeze was bitter and toothy. Shade felt frigid, pale mats of fallen leaves brushed with a careful crystalline hint of silvery white that picked out tattered edges and webby veins. New growth everywhere though, dandelion explosions and bright fan-like cranesbill leaves.
A short walk, then an outing to a restaurant for a friend’s birthday, a multi-course, 13 small plates with gels and mousses and reductions-style vegan meal, which was very fun. The social aspect inevitably a little draining, even with people I like and know well.
May wefind ways to allow each other into our perspectives today, and share moments of wonder and unexpected delight!
