Goodnight friends! Gradually dipping back down below 10°c and feeling colder than it was due to a lonely scouring wind. Tumbling, gloomy blueish grey air growing heavier and more clammy over the day, not dark but dim, drained of colour and made lively mainly by the slap and rattle of jerky fluttering leaves.

Mostly trying to keep things slow but even today. Had a gentle and cozy morning in bed, lounging and luxuriating in a visit from my girlfriend. A lot of pain flaring up and spots of dizziness later as the afternoon grew colder and wetter after a mild start. Increasingly conscious of the stresses to come over the holidays, excitement and trepidation both.

May we reach out to each other with honesty and conpassion today!
