Clovis.

1. Another long lie this time followed by a four mile run. The first run since New Years Day. Round Bellahouston, and in and through Pollock park. The sky today felt like a tupperware lid, protecting us from frost or fog wind or rain.

2. Finding a cinema showing the film that you want to see at the time you want to see it. Spending a little more for better seats and being delighted with that decision. Sharing the experience with likeminded people who don't talk or rustle or beep or cough any more than is necessary.

3. Deciding that while ballet dancing might be beyond my reach, walking like a prima ballerina on the way to the bus stop is ok.

4. I've never meditated before. I tried it for the first time today. I was stunned by what sitting still and quiet for 45 minutes is like.

5. This strange photo is of Clovis. This is a little cashmere gingerbread man I made from the sleeve of a shrunken jumper. Here he hangs even though he should be back in the decorations box, birling slightly in the heat and the breeze.
