Goodnight friends! Wavering pale blue air and prickly, swarming simmering heat from dawn til dusk, horizon to horizon. Paths littered thickly with patchwork rugs woven from fallen catkins and rippling motes of shadow. Cloven-petalled hogweed umbrels burst from bulbous, uncanny stems. Flies and beetles gleam and vanish like flung chips of darkly irridescent glass.

Energy levels and motivation high, feel really enlivened by the warmth and atmosphere. Managed to take a walk, then both spend some time drawing at the desk and do a bit of laundry – two concerted activities in a day usually feeling like the very edge of my strength.

May we find renewed confidence today in our potential and ability to build better futures for ourselves and our communities!
