and many things in the offing

 There are many worthwhile things to take pictures of and no money to be paid for the work. This makes no difference really, all is well.

Spent the afternoon talking to a pair of artists, working in ceramics. They make life size and greater figures out of clay. They need pictures, this is fine. If a book is produced, that will have been worth it. They are happy enough with the pictures. That is all right.

The evenings are still long and light and long for those in Ireland, both longer and lighter.

There is much work to do now, and little enough money to collect for it.

The morning was spent in town, walking and shopping for supplies.

There is little being done at the moment, and many things in the offing.
