Goodnight friends! Gradually increasing oneself of ambient warmth, up to 14°c today beneath a blue sky empty of anything but the ghostly scarred white curve of the waxing moon. Blackbirds stake out their warbling claims in bare trees studded with tight-packed buds. Crocuses lax and splayed open and dipped in the soft sedating amber of late afternoon, treetops like tangles of copper wire.

Mostly a typical, plodding recovery day, carving anything I want to do into incremental manageable steps. Letting myself take the easy ways out on some household tasks, better half-done than not at all.

May we grant each other, and ourselves, grade and tenderness today!
