white_hartIt's a bit cooler today, which is good because I had a day's leave which meant that I was at home, rather than in the office, and spent the afternoon sewing, which meant being in the same room as a hot iron.
I also realised while crawling back up the A34 after swimming that if I switch the direction of the air conditioning in my car from "windscreen and footwells" to "footwells only", it blows cool air straight out of the dashboard vents at me and is generally much, much more effective at keeping me cool. I am not sure this is entirely obvious from the icons on the dial, but there you go.
Tomorrow, it is supposed to rain, and maybe even be cool enough not to wear shorts. Not that I don't like my shorts (and am surprised by the slightly ironic discovery that wearing shorts and exposing my hairy legs, something that I had a miserable time being bullied about in my teens, now results in massive gender/appearance euphoria. Fuck the people who told me that the only way to exist was to not be me for so long), but it would be nice to have a change.
Next week I'm planning to be in the office for all four of the days I'm working, which is exciting because it means my craft room can stay as a craft room all week, and I only have to remember one workday routine rather than having two and having to remember which one I'm supposed to be following. I've also taken my good mouse and headphones to the office and brought the less-good ones I was using there home. This may, of course, be entirely premature and we'll be pitched back into lockdown and working from home again soon, but I'm going to make the most of being able to have work and home in separate places while I can.

Haven't met one that doesn't have at least blowing straight at you, even if it doesn't share face and feet!
