• L3 (Day 56): Inside

    There was no need to exceed the boundaries of my home today. Mend and make do with what food I found. There is a whole world out there, I know, but most of it is closed and I had plenty of work here. To bed at 01:00 GMT. I hear birds singing on the hillside,

  • L3 (Day 54): In The Cold

    The shift from yesterday’s promising warmth of sunshine to this fog threatening existence was brutal. No wind as such, but bitter cold, bitter.
