Disconnect Day

Well I was not sorry to see the end of July. For winter, it's the worst month. June can be colder but there's still some novelty to it. July just feels like you should be asleep, in a sun patch on the rug whenever that happens (if Nash has left enough room). Or tucked away in bed when it's raining or windy. But even then my feet and fingers are like icicles, and the rest of my joints are clammy.

My employer must also feel the same about July, because they gave everyone today off to celebrate it. This was good timing for me, because the weather was perfect for a walk outside and I also saw bees pollinating some flowers earlier in the morning. So I met up with Dadism and we walked 14 kilometres through the hills and also passing by the Palo Alto garage in which I built bradism in back in 2005. Then we went to the pub. After spending a lot of July not sleeping and instead working, it was a much appreciated day to see lots of birds in some fresh air, walk up hills, and enjoy baked treats.
