13P-8 (December 6)

It was an interesting day. We'd had a long discussion about the "Fighting Spirit" situation, and I gained a little more understanding of what a relationship is. Experiments, doing things together, without expectations. I'm too used to planning these things.

Friday started with a run to the store to fix the bare cupboard problem. After that, there were some other errands I needed to do, and a bike ride would have been nice. The tidal window was still open, though, and there was sunlight even if the day was fairly cold. Sand sculpture won the choice.

This continued the series of highly tactile sculptures, with broad curves and sturdy parts that invite touch. The style looks back to 1984, but with something like current hollows and flow.

The day ended with golden wispy clouds drawn on the sky like calligraphy with horsehair brushes and wind. The needs of sand sculpture don't work well with the needs of staying warm, and I left before sunset so that walking could warm me.
