For once I was out of bed at a sensible hour this morning and had time to relax before leaving for work. While I was sitting there, both good karma and bad karma found me. The good karma was noticing how alive the gardens behind our flat look. We overlook some communal green space with several large trees.

He is having a somewhat harder time of it in a short-term-let apartment in a foreign country that’s even colder than
