Word of the day is most definitely ‘hurkle-durkling’ (19th-century Scots): to linger in bed long after it’s time to get up.

Unlike cynicism, hopefulness is hard-earned, makes demands upon us, and can often feel like the most indefensible and lonely place on Earth. Hopefulness is not a neutral position either. It is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism. ~Nick Cave (the Red Hand files)
A wild poppy, growing solo on beach dunes, shown top-down. It's red around the centre zeppelin-stamen, then a pink fadeout to white at the papery edges of floppy, rounded petals. Strong shadows of the stems of other foliage, possibly tussock lines, stripe her face. Green tangles and pale sand blur below.
