I wanted to start trying to shoot some plants by evening light, but didn't have the right set-up and stumbled into doing some light paintings instead. This was a very happy accident, when I noticed putting my thumb in front of my phone flashlight made a nice red glow.

Except a lot of pictures of the garden this year. Undoubtedly a source of great comfort and distraction as we go through all this.

Tiring day. The reflection in my work notebook simply reads "It feels like everything has fallen out of my head...!". Counselling then used up the last of any energy I might have had left and I slept the whole afternoon.

However, I will take comfort in the fact that at some point this morning I felt little butterflies of excitement with my work.
