Goodnight friends! While noticeably cooler, at only about 20°c, still balmy and bright. Softened light between cottony cumulus with occasional fierce, dazzling beams sliding between clouds. Trailing streamers of bonneted laburnum flowers, the first ox-eye daisies tall and swaying above grass awash with daisies and buttercups. Among the graves where mowers struggle to reach barren brome droops, heavy with pointed seeds.
Sleep felt a little better, hopefully on the way to stabilising a bit on that front. Resting thoroughly yesterday paid off, less pain and a steady slow drip of energy that kept me feeling fairly functional through the whole day. A few small bits of drawing, tiny steps towards finishing off one of my ongoing small projects.
May we find our passions and determination revitalised today!
