Good Grief 256

There was bright sun first thing this morning and it took me ages to work out what was creating the tab shape shadow on the bath. Eventually I worked it out (extra). It made me think about how so much of our ways of being, our thoughts, patterns of feeling and responding are a complex mix of shadows and reality and it can take a bit of teasing out to get to the bottom of what the shadows mask, what the reality is, if there is such a thing, that underpins our little private performances through life and the layers of narratives they are built on.

At most I'm managing 2 hour stretches of sleep before having to get up and shove my head in the freezer or stand out in the garden in a hail shower to cool down. It's making for an exhausting time and I feel I'm exhausted before the day has started. Caught up on the Kirsty Wark programme on the menopause eventually (after falling asleep in the middle a few times!).
