Rain. Sat listening to some animal have the run of my attic outside the walls of my office. It sounded big, bear-like, but maybe more realistically a raccoon. I suppose it would not be impossible to have a bear hibernating in there without my knowing, though an inspection of the outside reveals no hole to get in by. St Francis Blessing of the Animals day at All Souls. The congregation has not restored itself after Covid. The choir lingers at about half strength.

Received a royalty statement from Red Hen in July; still have received no check. It’s all right.
