Thursday, July 2

Out the window, it’s blistering hot. The oppressiveness isn’t readily apparent with the temperature, but even the briefest of walks leave us covered in perspiration, our clothes clinging clumsily, and our brains start to fog up. We are spending time indoors, as only makes sense.

Geo continues to be the delight of my soul. We are enjoying our scheduled rest-and-prep week before he goes to Scotland. It’s a perfect set of activities for this blasted heat wave.

I just started reading Project Hail Mary, and it might be even better than the movie. Geo and I are watching Gargoyles together and The Hardacres on BritBox keep me company while I knit the Thistle Blanket. July is a month of movies, and we ventured down to the Grandin to see a summer showing of The Hunger Games. I hadn’t read the book since it came out all those many years ago, and Geo and I both want to read the series again.
