OYSTERHOOD is reclusiveness or solitude, or an overwhelming desire to stay at home.

A calmer day. I read for quite a while in the morning (Lamott, Coates & Kingsolver) – all inspiring. Then a few hours of editing and a swim at the end of the working day. The Cats joined the sunbathing session in the late afternoon sun after the swim. A few more poems from Kingsolver in the sun – I don’t want the book to end though. Luckily, it can be reread as often as needed.

‘Stable’ is becoming my most cherished word as I and many friends and loved ones await news from the ICU every day.

I am roasting a chicken for dinner.

A calmer day.

Be kind. Wear a mask. Support local.
