Goodnight friends! A false promise of a bright start, quickly swallowed again by grimy leaden grey and fitful hour on hour of cold rain, temperatures still refusing the rise above the low single digits. The squills and other swelling flowers are more or less un-deterred, new tight-packed kernels of azure and tassel-tipped dandelion buds. Clouds finally cleared away after dark, and we were left with a spotlight blaze of a full moon, almost equalling the glare of the security lights.

Sleeping poorly still on the damp, and fatiguing very easily due to the dragging dizzy tiredness and the extra weight of pain. I think a small domestic cooking adventure I took on yesterday is lingering with me too. I’m feeling fairly sanguine about it though, at least partly because I’ll be enjoying the leftovers for a few days.

May we take on challenges and find new experiences that enrich our lives and fortify us today!
