Woke, sat by the river and wrote nothing. Assumed feeding the crusts of my sandwich to the fish would be the highlight of my day. Dug up spent sunflowers, cultivated, and planted three (I saw by the packing light, shockingly expensive) tree peonies. Sun poisoning affected me so fast and harshly that I consider I may never again be able to work in full sun. Maybe a good sun block.
