Panta rhei

Twelve degrees C and a 26km/h wind (even southerly) suffice to benumb one's fingers, I found out today. Started tingling hours later, after return home.

Greeted just after 5:00 by a shower. Since I am facing the wind headlong, no chance of deploying my umbrella and working at the same time. Drink coffee and eat bread during shower.
Have to watch my unprotected back: even at this early hour, zombies (with a vivid interest in things artistic and 'creative') might be lying in wait, silently creeping up from the rear... As it is, I am left in peace.

Skies clear up. Wind doesn't let up. Keeps me awake and active, if somewhat tearful. With humidity at 70%, the ink doesn 't dry, despite the wind. Cannot wait, have to bring tissue paper into play. In this wind, it requires some skill to rip a finished drawing off the block and get it into the portfolio (without inadvertently signalling to passing cargo ships) .

Around 8:00, clouds sail in from the east and it starts to rain, heavily. Quite wet by the time I reach the car.
Good innings.
