Closing in on 10pm, and even a bit of rain, a bit of thunder later, evening's damp and hot. It seems all about laying down and focusing on what direly needs to be done, breathing included. A lot of small lights in the backyards, a lot of lanterns on balconies, people resting on outdoor chairs under the last remainders of sun. Neccessities of life, too: Students putting wet clothes out to dry. Few conversations. Even less wind.
