• A week off! I'd originally taken this week off in March, to celebrate finishing my 3 months of Covid recovery only to have to cancel it from hospital because it would turn out I wasn't quite done recovering. I worried about jinxing myself but booked the same trip and week off further out.
• So, 6 months after Covid turned all my days off into sick days and put me through the ringer, I finally had some proper time off! I took the train to Totnes in Devon, the southwest of England.
• I walked, I read, I thought, I photo'd. I had some unavoidably awkward solo dining.
• Back in London and with another day off I went to 3 (small) museums conveniently on my list and co-located.
• I did another bookbinding workshop! Surprisingly exhausting: many steps, lots of focus and lots of standing. But the result pleases me so!
• I don't want to go back to work.
