I prey this post is appropriate.

A mosquito managed to navigate its way in through the flask air vent and deposit some larvae. I abandoned the work there and then after having read much on the biblical worm. I have now chosen, with much love and fear of God to proceed with another source of prima materia, other than that of the golden waters. I am currently drying two native endemic herb/berrie plants, evaporating southern polar sea water and intermingling with seven evenings of moonlit hoarfrost, the first evening was gathered under the last eclipse, which also coincided with the first thunder storm of the season including hail.

Blessings to all in the great work and kind regards to Aleilius.
