Diva The British Prime Minister has announced that the second wave of COVID-19 is coming. I had hoped we had more time before it came back. Further restrictions, including local lockdowns are inevitable.
Burensasub Are cases sharply rising again?

Burensasub Today definitely feels like fall, but I have to remind myself that we'll probably go through another heat wave in early October before we get into the cold weather in earnest...so those fall/winter clothes will have to remain in the storage bin for now!

Diva Yep! It's felt Autumnal here for a week or so; but the forecast next week is for 29C??? (84F)

Diva All being well, I have two weeks off at the end of October. I am hoping that there won't be another lockdown at that time...
Burensasub Let's hope! *Fingers crossed*

🧐 Nrmn I so feel you. And even if I find the energy and time to do something on a weekday, it would be so late that I should stop after an hour again because I need to get up the next day.
Burensasub Exactly...you understand

Burensasub Sorry, I just need to vent: What's frustrating is that I finally get motivation and energy to work on personal projects on my last day off before heading back to work. Once the work week begins I'll have absolutely no energy to do anything outside of work and daily chores. And it'll be weeks or months before I have the same motivation again.Sometimes two days off is not enough.

Burensasub Didn't really do much this Labor Day weekend but had some delicious lunches thanks to our grill and garden. Feeling rested but alas, the weekend is coming to a close all too soon

Rsm Wassup? Long time no visit here. This past week was not productive. Patience!
Burensasub Welcome back! Patience as well as taking it easy on oneself at least once in a while

🧬 Thomas My return-to-office date has been pushed to Jan 2021 at the earliest. Which I'm quite happy with...working from home is quite liberating and work/life balance has never been better... I sort of miss wearing a shirt though!
Burensasub I am also in no rush to head back to the office full time. I love having lunch breaks at home!

Cole Hudson I enjoyed this article if you're looking for one: thediplomat.com/20...
Burensasub Interesting...thanks for sharing!

Cole Hudson Curious why so few are talking about Shinzo Abe leaving office rn, his absence will make for a vastly different world
Burensasub Wow, I didn't even know this has happened! Will have to read more about it

Diva We only get to see edited highlights and sound bites here in the UK. For the most part, the US election usually dominates our foreign news agenda. It's a shame that this focus does not happen for other countries.
Burensasub Agreed! It's hard to know what's going on in other parts of the world
