Goodnight friends! Fortunately for me a far drier day, save for a half hour or so of fine opalescent drizzle as early dusk swallowed the afternoon. For most of the day white banners and flat grey sheets of cloud swept like passing waves across an azure sky, birch crowns sparkling in the sun like yellow-blooming fireworks.

Taking things fairly gently yesterday along with my girlfriend’s support and a far drier, clearer day really improved my physical and mental condition. A similar burning shock of joint pain on waking, and my stamina is still running down pretty quickly, but I was far better able to take those in stride.

May we find fragments of surprising beauty and inspiration today!
