Goodnight friends! Weather flipping rapidly between bright and gloomy, crisp white-rimmed clouds in wide misty blue and heavy swollen grey cumulus. Brisk cold winds, around 10°c most of the day, and frequent brief bouts of rain. Mostly light drizzle, once a snap downpour with low growls of thunder. Delicate pale pink wild roses stippled with droplets. Constant gossiping swash of full canopies, breeze making leaves shed secondary flurries of raindrops.

A slow, steady recovery day, keeping movement careful and miminal, letting household tasks pile up a little for when I have more energy to face them. A short walk between showers in the morning, a long lounge after lunch and dinner over at my girlfriend’s house again. Her dog snuffling contentedly, laying her long jaw across my knee.

May we grant each other, and ourselves, patience and compassion today!
