I made a list of things to do last night, and today, after work, I tried to tick them off as much as I could in a two-hour timeframe. Bank (long wait), check. Making photocopies, check. Grocery shopping, check. Châteraisé, check.

It was a very foggy morning. I couldn’t see anything, but I smelled a sweet scent of violet flowers in the garden.
