I have been finding treasures in places I did not want to search. I have been hearing wisdom from tongues I did not want to listen. I have been finding beauty where I did not want to look. And I have learned so much from journeys I did not want to take.

The morning is spent going through review comments on the book. The afternoon in meetings. My list of things-to-do gets longer, not shorter, as the lazy autumn sun ambles, unseen, across the sky.

Victoria comes at 4:30 as arranged. I show her what gardening needs to be done, and she seems unfazed. Her and Sarah will start strimming next week - which is a huge relief.

I was finalising my November trip to the USA and discovered that King Crimson are playing on the Saturday night, barely an hour from where I’ll be working. So, I’ll spend the weekend in Allentown and get to see them again!
