Goodnight friends! Swirling greasy silvery dourmess always verging on, but never quite delivering, rain. Temperatures trending back down into mid single digits, 5-6°c, but stubborn verdancy springing up, ragwort and alkanet leaves among the rust coloured moulds of dead leaves.

My brain feels a little weak and hazy after drawing for a while yesterday, my reserves of mental concentration apparently still fairly limited. Mostly hour by hour my illness is trending more towards the familiar sensations of a mild relapse, until my sinuses start to feel like they’re overflowing or a brief coughing fit comes on. Attempts to stretch have often been somewhat abortive as changing my head angle too much can have pretty unpleasant results.

May we find structures and people around us we can trust and rely on today!
