Goodnight friends! Still warm but thankfully less clammy, the periods of soft, colourless drizzle and dim overcast rainlight broken up by a fresh wind. Rubbery flapjack piles of fairy ring marasmius mushrooms sprouting up from wet grass, tentative buds of lady’s bedstraw and willowherb making what they can of the last ebbing hints of summer.

Pain much more manageable, though my focus is still pretty shot and energy not fully recovered from the clenched, guarding reflex that overtakes my body amd wears me out after a day marked by heavy nerve pain. A slow, steady walk was my main activity of the day, I felt like I needed to re-activate my body in a low stress way.

May we find space to release our anxieties and focus on breath and the present moment today!
