I don’t technically return to work for another week, but it’s time to begin whipping my teaching plans, and writing obligations, into shape. I was hoping for more clear guidance from the government about circumstances for classes, but that seems more than a little silly these days. Today was more like the rest of the summer: run, chat with Pippa about RBG and valedictory wishes, Morning Office, hot breakfast, Mass, back home for faffing around, lunch, some course prep, dinner, and Under Suspicion, a film that was fine (if a little overwrought) until the last ‘twist’, which rendered the whole hundred minutes a waste of time. Thankfully, we had a good video call with Nate and Laura to redeem the annoyance of the cinematic flop.
