Goodnight friends! Sedate, far more even weather, carp-scale clouds and pillowy cumulus ramparts in a mi-blue sky. Around 15°c most of the day, so a little cooler that recent sweltering days, but with no great lead-overcoat sense of fatigue. Birds seeming cowed by the heat or by the summer storms are bold and burbling again, half-breathless peeping of bluetits around the hedgerows. More wild grasses, wall barley and perennial ryegrass joining the rippling swathes of green.
Lingering recovery, joints feeling none too stable and full of a hot gravel geeling. Delayed onset of the heaviest symptoms not too unusual for me. Quite a bit of drawing time at least, a mild stretch during the afternoon enough to let me lose/find myself in the process a bit.
May we find oeaceful rest and recovery today!
