Goodnight friends! A clear, bright morning, and a few blue, sunny patches throughout the day, but generally fairly heavy pale grey clouds with thin azure ribbons sidewinding between them. A mild, fairly inviting 20°c despite the dull sky. Ragwort heads dried out to stiff brown crisps, crowned with short stiff bristles of seeds. Dozens of magpies squawking and flurrying in the trees.
Slow to start still, but slept a bit better and felt fairly well prepared for judo. Feels a little easier to pace than ground wrestling so far. Slowly starting to appreciate a few small bits and pieces of randori basics, and generally finding the pace for the different session structure.
May we find and share warmth and community today!
