Goodnight friends! More positive today that I seem to be on an upward slope, pain slowing down towards the regular slow seethe. Though I’m still feeling much weaker and tiring faster than I’d like I did manage to do some much-abbreviated exercise without feeling totally prostrated. Really glad that I’ve reached a stage where I’m only fully bedbound for brief periods, even at a fairly low ebb.

Not much rain today, long winding tributaries of blue sky, even a brief interlude of gleaming brassy sunlight in the early afternoon. Little brown crickets making the grass quiver in the meadows, hoverflies around the meadow peas and hogweed umbrels like gaily painted beads hung on the air.

May we find a sense of calm and balance in our lives today!
