Goodnight friends! The regular tangling, twanging muscle pangs and physical exhaustion, but nothing much past the predictable. A lethargic start after a fortunately decent night of sleep let me build up a little stamina, so by evening I was able to cook with my girlfriend and retain focus long enough to watch a silly movie together.

A damp, hazy mistbound start but the sky began to clear out by late morning, and warmed up considerably – brisk needling breezes still, but suggestions of warmth on my skin. The big tropical-looking flowers among the gravestones revealed themselves to be large hyacinths as they continued to separate, the most extraordinary buds opening for now as the weatherworn blossoms in the fruit trees fade.

May we find and build spaces of welcome and honesty today!
