Goodnight friends! Fog dispersing, still cold and still a wide hazy spill scattering from every light source. Holly leaves gleamed with glossy, steely menace in the electric dark, sometimes grey, or ochre, sienna or dim violet, the strange half-illusory shifting of suburban light on low clouds. Scattered skittering pops and taps of slow-dripping moisture from the trees, beading droplets glitter on twigs.
Another, though a much slower and gentler, social day. A friend came over for a few hours, grateful for the company and feeling lucky for the days of rest between boxing day and this. Managed a little housework too, feeling muxj more balanced and accomplished.
May we find inspiration and creative sustenance in our lives today!
