A very long nap has concertinaed the rest of my day.

Resting and allowing the events of the last couple of days to sink in.

Back home and completely knackered!

Things don’t always go according to plan.

Cauliflower cheese, preparing for the big event and relinquishing any other expectations.

Walking into town after a morning of gathering myself together, but still not ready for the journey north.

Recognising that now is usually the season of my silent retreat and allowing myself a little slack.

Spending an unexpected day at home; recalibrating my surroundings before I prepare for the next adventure.

BBC Radio 4 Butterfly Mind: a writer in search of his mojo.

Link to the real #466 with thanks to Beverlee for pointing out the mistake.

Saying goodbye to Boo and reflecting on the era his life represented.

Finding stillness in indexing as I await Boo’s final days and the anticipation of birth.
