Seems all week we’ve been buffeted by these things sweeping in from the West, a couple a day.

This morning, just after 6.30 it was dead still, big moon,stars, about 3.5degrees.

Later during the workaday haze the clear blue sky reminded me to take a Proper Look (not a glance, but keep looking out – let the receptors drink in the distance & colour), and let the change of focus ease the eye-strain from constant monitor scrutiny. “You’ve missed a bracket there”  or  “that style code is out” etc.

We didn’t do a lot. The last week before Christmas seems to infect pretty well all of them. And I’m the worst.
Tonight they’re back. Blacker clouds than the encroaching night, and the hammering of the rain on Mum’s conservatory roof.
