As we walk between the raindrops

dolorosa_12I realise I owe a lot of people comments, and I will get back to you all soon. I am drained to the point of exhaustion.
Thankfully, I now have a five-day weekend: as soon as I realised that travel would not be possible this northern summer, I elected to take all my annual leave in little segments. I am going to have a three- or four-day (or in this case five-day) weekend every week now for the rest of July and August. I've just found out that although my library is going to partially physically reopen in mid-August, I will continue to work from home past that date. The university's policy remains that everyone who can do the bulk of their work from home must continue to do so, which suits me fine.
It's been a bit of a fragmented, strange day. I know I whinge a lot about Twitter, but sometimes it can be nice. I spent most of today chatting with![[twitter.com profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/e0caa790ec10/-/twitter.com/favicon.ico)
likhain and aliettedb about books, which was a happy diversion in an otherwise stressful day. (As an aside, Aliette's latest novella is an utter delight. It reads like fanfic in the best possible way: a m/m couple — one of whom likes to deal with problems with diplomacy, the other of whom likes to leap immediately to violence and stabbing — solve a murder mystery. I love it a lot.)
It's been raining all week, which has made my tomatoes grow furiously, revived my dying bean plants, and caused my chili plant to grow multiple flowers. I am very pleased at this. Have a photoset of all the flowers I saw when walking around earlier today.
I am down to my last batch of stationery. If anyone wants a recipe letter, you know what to do.
