rain outside
It's raining outside, coming down loud enough to hear rapping on the window and sploshing into puddles. I've got the window open slightly, because it's too hot not to, but I don't really mind the noise.
Visited the dentist this afternoon: a very small chip in a previous filling, which has now been smoothed and sealed, so hopefully it won't give any further problems. And I didn't need to have any anaesthetic or drilling, so it was a very positive session.
The weather forecast says that there's cooler weather coming. I hope so. I really am a spring or autumn person: I'm too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter.

8: Easy by nature
True goodness
is like water.
Water's good
for everything.
It doesn't compete.
It goes right
to the low loathsome places,
and so finds the way.
For a house,
the good thing is level ground.
In thinking,
depth is good.
The good of giving is magnanimity;
of speaking, honesty;
of government, order.
The good of work is skill,
and of action, timing.
No competition,
so no blame.
-- Tao Te Ching, translated by Ursula Le Guin
