Goodnight friends! Fitful and flitting sky, clouds breaking and chasing each other hour by hour, just about 6°c all day but never feeling very constant. Dim sparkle of bare branches in the grey air, sheathed in slowly dripping glassy beads of water, flashing and blazing a moment later as the drizzle parted. Whether under blue or overcast skies, the persistent leaves of tiny vetch and chickweed seem lush and verdant among tired looking grasses.

Slept a bit better, and bore with the fatigue and aches of wet and changeable weather a bit better too. An earlyish walk and a long, somewhat groggy rest through the afternoon. Company and some stretches together with my girlfriend in the evening, who came over for a sleepover. We watched TV and had a hot chocolate nightcap, very cozy.

May we celebrate playfulness and imagination today!
