white_hartI have worked my way through about 200 emails (I did have C keeping half an eye on my inbox while I was away, so some of the more straightforward things had already been dealt with), had various catch-ups (including with the person I thought was going to resign, who did indeed resign), and read (fsvo of "read") 51 job applications.
My bus in the morning was quiet, and almost everyone was wearing face coverings. My bus in the evening was busier and had a higher proportion of people who were not wearing face coverings, most of whom appeared to be (a) under 30 and (b) predominantly male.
I am very tired now, and have come home to find that my attempt to turn some fabric which was utterly gorgeous but which I was never going to use (white cotton lawn with a print of line drawings of sheep, when (a) I don't really wear white and (b) even if I did the lawn was too sheer to make a garment out of unless I want the whole world to see my underwear) into something I would use by dyeing it purple has resulted in the print being almost completely obscured, rather than, as I'd hoped, being as distinct as it was before, just on a darker and hopefully less see-through background.
Bah.

Date: 2021-09-15 09:11 am (UTC)The train I get in the morning seems to be 90% students heading for Huddersfield University (which is one of those universities where a lot of students live at home) and they are almost all properly masked. The train home is a much more mixed crowd, and a much more mixed bag in terms of masking.
