Day 245

Three good things:
1. At yesterday morning's weigh-in I clocked 88.9 kg which turns out to be fractionally under 14 stone, for the first time since I stopped smoking in 2015.
2. I painted a Modigliani that I thought was going to be terrible right up to almost the end but then it turned out OK. I might try one with me and Daughter in that style. I like his way of doing portraits.
3. I went for a walk with my friend SB today. We bought food and huddled down out of the wind beside a wall to eat it, with our hair whipping around our faces and our words carried out to sea.

That's all. This is a bad week, with everyone I know struggling against gloomy thoughts and exhaustion with the pandemic; with the shamelessness of so many in power; the short days and cold winds; the lack of hugs and cuddles from those we love. But we're not through it yet. On we go, somehow.
