Long weekend

Home alone reflections in the sweltering Australian heat.

Long weekend
Two floating jellyfish in the water; photo courtesy of my lovely Russian partner.

Both of my partners have gone off to do their own separate travels and taken an extended bit of time off this week; I'm on my own at home for the first time in quite some time and getting my own work done.

One of my partners is doing a massive solo roadtrip up and around nearby rural Australia (he's driving nearly twenty hours all up, spread across about five days or so).

His first language isn't english, which leads to adorable interactions like when he couldn't remember the word for "jellyfish" and asked what the proper word for "spicy sea snots" are and then sent the above photo.

It's 40C (over 100F) here at the moment and I am camped out next to the air conditioner writing; do something gentle and kind for yourselves today.

(PS, as an FYI: I've been asked about email alerts — I'm not really going to send them out for every little post I make, I don't want to spam people's inboxes. I'll generally post something every day, usually, but I'll save the alerts for when I write something more substantial that I think is worth sharing.)
