I thought about going to the national library today to get on with editing some manuscripts I have had tucked in a 'bottom drawer'* (*computer file) for a while. That's what we do on our 'holidays' and also because the uni is closed, actually locked gates closed, for a few more days.
But I decided the nearby coffee shop might be an equally pleasant spot to work, since so many people seem to work in coffee shops.
Well, it worked, up to a point. The shop was rather busy and since I'm not one to buy one cup of coffee and sit for hours, I left after an hour and a bit (and two coffees and lunch) so those waiting could move in.
The walk home via the park started with a little bit of shadow art--leaves against the sky--and then following the constant drone of the cicadas I went further into the forest...

Looking up, the empty exoskeletons were there in their hundreds...equal parts spooky and intriguing.
Feels like we are reaching peak summer. I must get on with my work.
