Wind from the east still. Also a large group of cyclists on the Trail coming from the east … very kind and considerate. I hope they had some fun – although cycling the opposite direction would be less fun, wind and slope against them.
There’s always a lot of variety to be had walking around here, from the damp and slippery darkness of Old House Tunnel, to the airy walk back down the road through Padfield.

We thank you God for the energy industry,
which helps us achieve so much more
than we can do by muscle-power alone.
We pray for your influence this industry,
because we want energy to be made
in ways that do not harm the planet,
and we want it to be used wisely and
for good, not harm.
God bless all our human relating
with your justice;
and with your care, honour and love
for people who are
poor or vulnerable.
