Glow
The fire settles to its final glow and L is knitting in the comfy chair. Having hurtled from one thing to another all day, I am finally still. L counting under her breath, I anticipate reading my book in bed (Alan Hollinghurst's The Stranger's Child - very good so far). Good news today of the pay rise that accompanies my end of probation in one job, offset by the nonsense in another of being suddenly asked to change the day or the room when/ where I work (can't/ don't want to), and more nonsense in yet a third about accommodating someone else's students in my group due to staff sickness (don't want to - no choice). Let all this fade, sing namah shivay om nama shivay om silently to myself.

I'm so glad L is knitting, and that you get to hear counting. I hope it's a small domestic mantra which brings as much warmth and comfort as the stove.
It sounds wonderfully peaceful - and that's a fascinating book. I've just finished it, and lots of it made me laugh out loud.
