Goodnight friends! A somewhat heavy, stuffy feeling to the air. Still fairly overcast with flat diffuse light but clouds are paler and the afternoon was around 14°c. Feels like more rain might be on the way soon. Noticeable haze of green on the stiff vertical branches of poplars, as well as as among the thickety nests of twigs around the base of the linden trees. Strawberry pink of the ornamental cherry pom-pons fading, celandines losing their glossy sheen, giving way bit by bit to buttercups. More foxes slinking with mock-casual élan beneath fences and hedges. Common carder bumblebees out in force, every hooded deadnettle and garlic-mustard coronet serviced by a worker with a fuzzy orange-buff humped back.

Lacking a bit in energy, slow recovery from exertion still ongoing. Progressing on a bunch of little admin and writing missions between resting up. Figuring out bit by bit the advantages and limitations of the silly obsidian.md plugin setup that’s helping me make a mini wiki-like website for my TTRPG group.

May we find moments of carefree indulgence and pleasure in our lives today!
