From a distance, the girl at
the hair salon at Sinclair looks
very intriguing. Walking down
Davie, the sky shades of grey &
some gentle blues. The end of
Davie, bottom of the hill, a
freighter slowly moving through
English Bay, mountains & mist
as a background. Minori left
for Japan

Talked to Myle. First thing she
asked : 'Did you call me?' (I did,
on the 28th, after the movie)
She's okay with being on the
website. Telling me all about her
shoes. Asked how her dad was
doing. She hesitated, & replied
'Let's not go there.' Stretched
paper for the drawing, called
'Seahorse as a Nebula'. Talked
to Heather tonight

Heavy rain around one o'clock, &

ravens perched near the top of
wildly swaying branches
