I pretended for a moment that the clouds were mountains, rising on the other side of the lake and prolonging the sunrise. It was a lovely sight.

Heidi and I had lunch at Cuppa joe and then walked through some of the areas under renovation. While passing through a room, Heidi caught a glimpse of something in a hole in the wall. I turned out to be bundles of newspapers and magazines from long ago - probably put there by a patient.

Later, we visited the Dwarves painting and she snapped me looking out a window on the third floor Men’s ward.
