Goodnight friends! Fairly well overcast with only passing pale scraps of blue. About 22°c, and feeling extremely damp and muggy. Light specklings of drizzle in the day, small puddles and hints of faint glittering among the grass, a characteristic chalk and stone smell of rain on warm, dry dusty ground. Late into the night, a brief burst of hard rain, and along with the drumroll rattle another wave of scent, thicker, richer, darker, rolled in on the midnight air.

Sleep not too bad, a little lingering weariness from TTRPG group activities but it passed mostly over the morning. Judo this evening, since I have plans with my girlfriend for the end of the week I don’t want to be too wiped out for.

May we find renewed wonder and delight at the everyday world around us today!
