The air in the flat remains unexpectedly warm tonight, heavy enough that the flax paper on my drying board lies flat without curl. In cooler drafts, the sheets tend to lift at the edges as the sizing contracts; tonight, the fibres stay relaxed under their own weight. It makes for an easier setup when I prepare tomorrow’s ground. Quiet conditions always simplify the initial coordinates.
