-12°C (10.4°F) Hard, bright and clear this morning. Today’s light makes old trees look impassive but brittle, like stone. There’s a sharp frost - lethal feather spikes - on the window. But the next swath of clouds is already moving in. High, frosty patches of blue fade to white, then grey. No melodrama, just a slow slide back into dimness, coldness, greyness, stillness. Â
