Goodnight friends! Weather flipping back again, 20°c with a cool, stone-scented breeze, warm pressure of sunlight on my back and gleaming cold damp in the dense tussocky tangle of grass. Single, lonely liquid buzz of a grasshopper among the gravestones.

Pain lingering surly and chill in my joints. Mostly a slow, relaxed day with a bunch of small productive fragments, trying to balance creative projects with getting the place a bit more ready for my girlfriend’s visit this evening. We spent a while catching up and going through her holiday photos.

May we find companionship and contentment today!
