A brighter day

No rain for the first time for ages. The Saharan high pressure system flexes muscle for the weekend but soon followed by more intense instability.

Walking to the dentist in Florence the air is full of the bittersweet perfume of lime trees in blossom. Extra.

‘Lime’ from line/linden. Possibly same root ‘lithe’ as in the soft workable lime timber so favoured by, particularly, German sculptors of religious iconography.
