Goodnight friends! Coiling white clouds spreading out into wispy tendrils and curlicues, sharp glassy sun-glints on their edges. Sun a hot and dazzling white high above able to hold its own, just about, against a cool, sweetly vegetal wind. Even the thin, mild sweet scent of hawthorn blossom is gently simmered in the light until it becomes syrupy, soporific. Flashes of scarlet and sparkling gold in the air, flickering flight of small tortoiseshell butterflies and iridescent hoverflies.

A mix of gentle activities, able to do some shopping and household tasks before my energy flagged, and take a long slow luxurious walk. Definitely doing a little more day by day, bit by bit, made easier by the drier warmer feel to the days. Some writing and very low key creative work, not to any major purpose but maybe at least something to keep the gears spinning.

May we find cause for celebration and gratitude in the rhythms and sensations of our everyday activities and routines today!
