Goodnight friends! Some thick, doughy banks of pale grey cloud between broad vistas of empty chalky blue, but still balmy and fine, sweetness on the air. Warm enough that the delicious ccconut and vanilla aroma of gorse flowers hangs in the air a little around them. Thumb-thick black bumblebees nudge and snuffle amid the grass, where great globular dandelions as big as a child’s fist and pinhead bittercresses unfold.

Not able to sleep very well, so although I otherwise feel mostly recovered at last – just in time for a another viewing to come around tomorrow – I’m still a little groggy. More drawing, and quite a lot of general puttering about, a good sign that I’m feeling generally livelier. A slow walk by the canal helped clear my head a bit, though not quite enough to keep me from being up late again. So it goes!

May we find a sense of calm humility and acceptance in our lives today!
