cloud watching

Two days of extraordinary clouds. Yesterday I watched a thin cloud hanging in the mountain opposite. This morning they increased. They linked in huge crowded numbers to meander and wallow in the sky, dipping themselves onto mountain tops. The Tablelands are licked by a soft layer and the summit has long disappeared.
I've settled into this residency and my pace has slowed. Apparently in Amsterdam the AEX is up this afternoon, it is rainning lightly and there were 22 traffic jams of 116km at 3.30pm. It has already grown into an alien language- I haven't seen a car here for the last ten minutes. The smaller things become more intense and I can focus on details. For now my job is to draw and watch clouds.
