Shortest day. Longest night. Happy Solstice, and roll on spring.
The weather is mild, though the daylight was fleeting: 11 degrees Celsius, rain, and lowering grey clouds that lifted just enough when I went out for a walk on the beach earlier to do the scudding storm-cloud thing and show a tiny strip of blue.
It was a long walk. I managed five minutes worth of jogging, despite the wheeze in my throat and this tired cough. I don't get out enough, nor spend enough time under the sky. It improves many things, including my mood.
Dinner was melt-in-the-mouth ham, mash potatoes and carrots and parsnips. I have a coal fire and a stoned cat, if he'll ever come back inside. Now I must dig motivation out from somewhere and file college paper, if I want to get on track, ever.
