Monday, September 14

Shanti and I leave the house for her early morning walk. The light from the sun low in the sky blinds me as I turn round to look at her and see nothing at all.

The sun will continue low in the sky until the day turns summery hot for the first time in days. I will spend much of the day in the garden, trimming roses and harvesting apples and plums from Minna’s garden.

It will remain hot until the sun sinks again.
