Less than two hours separates these photos, as a sunny morning turned to a showery afternoon, including a few claps of thunder. But an hour after the second photo there was sun again.

It was another day at the office. More surfacing on the playground: you can see the new grey advancing over the old black from the far end, like fog rolling in from the sea. More measuring and marking in the Quiet Garden: Ms Park seems to be here almost full-time these days. And more putting down of paving stones in the Meeting House Garden, only for them to be picked up again an hour or two later: I tell you, it's as if they were playing backgammon or solitaire in there.
