Good evening friends! No frost or snow awaiting me this morning, neither chill or damp so pronounced as recently. Smooth ice sheets of yesterday are shattered into dark and jagged plates, clinking and chirping against each other as mallards stubbornly jostle their way through the morass.

Draining day dealing with government benefits bureaucracy. Grateful again as in so many other ways to my former partner, who continues to support me both through the labyrinthine logistics and the social exhaustion.

May we find moments of tranquil stillness and rejuvenation today!
