Sunlight

It was great to leave work not just in daylight but in sunshine. The Central Mosque looked particularly fine in light and shadow.

I went to visit my dear friend who is very ill, and his lovely wife. Very sobering in some ways as he has been told he has weeks rather than months, and he can only manage about half an hour of chat before the morphine pulls him down again. But what a half hour of such good chat! I actually left feeling quite buoyant. Reality has hit harder today (writing this on Friday) and it's just so, so terrible.
