Goodnight friends! 14°c again, but feeling colder with the dour wet clouds hanging low overhead and constant murmuring pressure of imminent rainfall in the air between bouts of thin drizzle. Spectacular architectural whitw parasol mushrooms have sprung up from sodden lawns, intricate fan vault gills and caps minutely fringed or crazed with jagged splits and cracks from their rapid growth.

Sore and fatigued, but not feeling anything too unexpected or fully debilitating. A fortunate combination of creative and recovery day, resting in bed until mid afternoon while slowly marshalling my hazy thoughts to finish up the writing and layout for my minizine.

May we find tranquility and balance in our lives today!
