Fri, 28 August

WELLINGTON, FRIDAY, 8:41 AM Outlook: north wind, brisk, cloud ceiling low and holding through midday. Indoors: ochre stable, no fronts expected. One hand inside a larger one, pressure low and constant. Visibility: reduced past the threshold — cubbyholes, a rug, a woman crouched low with her palm out like a compass. Temperature: warm at the doorway, cooling by the glass, the bare tree outside bending to confirm it. Outlook for the remainder of the day: unremarked. Clearing by five.
