Goodnight friends! Slightly chillier, but not feeling too harsh with only a soft occasional breeze and open blue skies all day. Needle fine platinum contrails and scattered white clouds all gold-edged, spreading bursts of long sharp rays. Violet-gleaming crows pick among gradually gathering drifts of fallen leaves and puffballs slowly collapse into dusty grey ruin.

Already starting to feel much better, feverish feeling gone and malaise evening out, mostly just left with a heavy, stuffy head and a tight raw ring of soreness in my throat. So far this all suggests that an immune reaction to exertion, a brief phantom visitation from glandular fever symptoms, is more likely than a genuine cold. Took the day peacably easy trying my best to heal up and stay patient, drawing a little and doing a few very light household tasks.

May we find warmth and companionship today!
