Goodnight friends! Still humid but with enough of a breeze to shift the clouds more, darkest looming masses breaking up from time to time into tumbling boulders, gloomy and opaque among a shifting chaos of pale tattered shapes, fierce sunlight piercing through in a rainbow-ribbed halo. Green horse-chestnuts swelling as long spatulate leaves crisp and crumple, blackbirds scour the grass for seeds and insects.

A more even and relaxed day, able to tentatively take bigger chances with creative energy to test how things are going for me, though I’m not quite set up at a stable baseline yet. Sleep not the best, not surprising given humidity is still often 24°C overnight with 70% humidity.

May we embrace and invite playfulness and experimentation into our lives today!
