Goodnight friends! A day with all the characteristic fluttering freshness of spring. Wide open sky, clouds whipped out into long tattered ribbons, the sharp alarm beeps and whistles of little birds from every quarter. 12°c feeling so much warmer with the half-illusory brush of sunlight on my cheeks. Apple tree wreathed in a carousel of bees, the first extravagant frills of double-blossomed ornamental cherries opening up.
Nit quite so painful an awakening, but a broad, swollen sense of malaise with enlarged lymph nodes and aching mild cold-like bodily discomfort continuing through the day. Trying to keep activity a bit more low key, took a short walk before lunch and tried not to do too much else, relaxing as much as possible while keeping my mind occupied and away from ruminating on sensations.
May we open ourselves to collaboration md discovery today!
