Goodnight friends! Just as swiftly as the air cleared it thickened again overnight, not quite so heavy a haze or so damp a feeling in the air but still cool and mostly overcast. Honey fragrance of profuse viburnum flowers and the thick, chalky love-heart scent of hyacinths. Tiny speedwell buds and flowering chickweed beginning to show among the leaf litter. Keening and chattering and peeping birdsong seemingly at all hours.
A few renewed spells of nausea accompanied by foggy incoherent thoughts, fortunately nothing as long-lasting as at the weekend. Mostly judo was a matter of slowing down and pacing, taking more breaks and accepting I wouldn’t retain everything.
May we grant each other, and ourselves, kindness and grace today!
