Late summer

Echinacea: one of those late summer bonuses. They glow, even on a cloudy day.
A deliberately quiet day today, after an unusually poor night's sleep. Eben will be with me for most of the day tomorrow, as Josh and Ruth will be  working and Richard has the first day of a 3 day booking to record some songs in a local studio with music pals Tom and Dave. So I'm saving my energy, in preparation.
