[sunday] light mist and quiet has descended over the land

Marvellous day outside. There’s a white, bright greyness to the sky and it merges into a misty haze through the dimly visible trees. Children are playing downstairs in their light jackets and hoods, the temperature is about … one moment … let me see … plus three and it’s quiet and still out there. It induces calm reflection, snug in our heated rooms but it’s just inviting us to go out for a long, brisk walk or a trip to the forest and shashlik.
