Goodnight friends! Overall a little milder amd brighter, the sparkling thrill of birdsong. Little round bodies, now furtive and scurrying, next moment warbling with a furious volume you could scarcely imagine their bodies containing. Sheets of sharp-edged light sweeping long and slow through the low clouds.
Maybe a delayed whiplash of fatigue, or the spike of insomnia shaking me up, but despite the weather feeling fine and not too much exertion yesterday I felt worse than Thursday for most of the day, and a flattening sense of paralytic gloom comes and goes with grey, throbbing exhaustion. Not all dpur though, I had some clearer hours, a few household jobs and did some writing I enjoyed.
May we find a sense of delight and wonder in the small joys of nature we can feel around us today!
