I’ve rarely seen my blog as inordinately dull as in the last week or two. I’m off on my summer holidays on Tuesday morning, and I’ve been frantically trying to tie up all the loose ends here at work. Got through a huge stack of grading, organisational things are almost in place, etc, etc, etc, etc.

I’m really, really tired. All of me. My thoughts are sluggish and my legs feel like I walked for miles yesterday, though I didn’t, and my legs and thoughts have felt that way for days. Just as well I have several weeks of holidays coming up!

Expect more blogging in August. Enjoy the summer! I know I will.
