Goodnight friends! A little colder after heavy rain overnight, and several periods of rushing wind and rolling shadowy avalanches of grey cloud, but overall still fair and clear over most of the brief daylight hours. Cackling magpies move in strobing gaggles from tree to tree. The fermenting pungency of fallen apples beginning to merge with the rich sourness of mouldering leaf litter.

In a similar position still, needing to rest a lot but not feeling any huge sense of poisonous exhaustion or distress. More pain, probably brought on by wet weather overnight, but able to interest myself in drawing and even things out for myself a bit that way.

May we make peace with our imperfections today, and recognise that growth comes through our bruises and mistakes!
