Cloud cover here is the low and middle layers together, the cloud that hides the sun. High cloud is what a sunrise lights up, so it is counted on its own. Open-Meteo archive (ERA5 and IFS analysis), 7:00 AM.

In My Ears

What I Was Listening To

  • Unbroken Faith (Castle Federation, book 9) by Glynn Stewart. From about 92% to the end: finished on this walk.
  • Chimera's Star (Starship's Mage, book 14) by Glynn Stewart. Started on this walk, to about 10%.

From Audible's listening time for the day, which does not say which book: the book comes from the order I heard them in, and how far through it is an estimate, as is where one book ended and the next began. How it is worked out.
