Goodnight friends! Blazing deep blue sky and a fitful blustery breeze that kept it that way all day, and the temperature around a gentle 14°c. A small outing with my girlfriend to collect supplies for a craft project and a chance on the way home to visit a different park than usual. We followed the short, harsh cries in the trees and flashes of green among the branches to get our best look at feral parakeets so far. A swan patrolling the pond, scattering moorhens and mallards with their gleaming green heads in its wake. Cherry trees like frozen explosions of pink smoke.

May we re-commit ourselves to our passions and find ways to move closer to our goals today!
