Goodnight friends! Warmed up again, highs of 28°c in the bright but stuffy afternoon, sky a pale and hazy blue with broad stipples and splashes of thicker white clouds. Holly berries coming to full size, slowly turning from green to orange. The lantern yellow cherry-plums are ripe now, sweet and mild at first bite with a puckering taste of fruity sourness around the stone.

Slept a little better, and generally followed a more expanded version of my scattershot but somewhat effective productivity from recent days between lengthy rests – some creative work, mostly drawing and writing in preparation for my next TTRPG GM session, some household work and admin and even managed to take a short walk with my girlfriend. Again my momentum faded for good in the early evening, but I managed to do a little of everything I wanted without feeling like I’m borrowing from tomorrow.

May we find a sense of humility and willingness to discard old paradigms today!
