I think I kind of lost myself again

Everything's been a bit of a low energy, foggy blur recently. I've barely felt capable of reading, and watching TV shows has at times felt like a trudge, even if I enjoyed the material. At times all I felt capable of was lying around with the Olympics on in the background, and to a great extent the only thing about which I felt normal levels of enthusiasm was the gymnastics (and endless gymnastics documentaries that I found down the Youtube rabbit hole).

However, there has been nice stuff, too:

My mum is fully vaccinated (joining my father, stepmother, various step-relatives, and sister #2), my maternal aunts all have their second doses booked and happening in the next couple of weeks, and sister #1 had her first dose of AZ today (she's in her thirties, but elected to request AZ from her doctor rather than waiting around indefinitely for Pfizer which is arriving at some unspecified future point in time).

Matthias and I basically walked and ate our way through London, and I didn't realise until I got there how much I had desperately missed proper cities.

Fresh summer fruit, and gelato.

My beautiful garden ruin.

There's light enough, I guess.
