Dark Day. It is eery to be at home with lights full-blast-on and a feeling that at 16:00 it is already the deep night. Got to get used to that again I guess as it will be my companion for a while. Grading is going slowly. It is actually rather pathetic. I am distracted by a myriad of little tasks be they bank account phone-calls or coffee making breaks. Meanwhile, our Vancouver water looks murky. I boiled a few liters of brown water but it does not look inspiring. theoretically it is now safe but I am afraid that I may be drinking purified sediment. The closer my system will ever get to silting. I feel like a river building my inner alluvial deposits. I like alluvium though, it is so historically charged and it is rich.
