I had a really good week off last week. The weather was gorgeous and I went cycling all five days (including a couple of very long rides). I braved the canal towpaths for the first time in ages, and thankfully there were less people there than last time I tried so it was a pleasant experience that almost felt like it did before lock down.
Today I returned to work (the activity, not the place) and soon got back into my normal routine. I’ve been doing this job longer from my study than I did from campus, and this now very much feels like it’s where I work.
It won’t always be like this, but it won’t ever be like it was, and sometime soon I want to try and articulate what that might look like.
