Goodnight friends! Around 11°c, feeling warmer for most of the day thanks to open skies and sharp, glassy sunlight. Wind bent the yews and buffetted clouds along again, but didn’t feel too hard or damp at ground level for the most part. Field woodrush and other small wild grasses are starting to rise up, non-descript until you pause for a second glance and see the dark brown scale-like flowers with their long green tassel stamens.

Slept quite a bit better I think, in large part due to peer pressure and support from my girlfriend who stayed over – much easier when there’sanother rhythm to sync up with. Some very small bits of project artwork, but largely resting. A few periods of intense, half-paralysing pain and malaise over the day, lymph nodes in my neck amd armpits still feeling a little stiff and inflamed like knots of strained muscle.

May we find rest and relief today!
