A book that I ordered online should have arrived today, but it didn't. The website says the new expected delivery time is between the 21st and the 23rd. I really really hope it arrives by then, as I am leaving this city on Sunday and I need to take the thing with me, obviously.

Now everything is terribly loud. Got too used to blunted hearing. Getting your ears syringed is what I'd normally say. Gratz, my hearing is awful. Good luck MoT on the vaccine, getting my second on the 30th. Meera of Tarth and RhaenysBee 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m trying to hunt down a used copy of pride and prejudice online, without success so far. 10 hours ago, The BlackBear said: Getting your ears syringed is what I'd normally say.

Pride and Prejudice is a really common book, I am sure you can find it in any of your local bookshops and libraries too? Are you looking for a particular edition?

Meera of Tarth Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Thanks everyone! Just vaccinated and right now I'm quite sleepy and awkward but nothing else.

Buckwheat Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I am finally leaving the shithole of a city and going home! I mean, I still have more than nine hours on this bus to look forward to, but at least I will be home then.

Buckwheat Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Maybe I shouldn't be so critical about the shithole city. At least this time, I had some company so I wasn't completely alone. That would have made me lose my mind, especially after all the isolation of the last year amd a half. And well, they do help me a lot with my dissertation. But still ... I will probably never actually like being there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhaenysBee Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 It’s okay to not like something, don’t beat yourself up about it. Enjoy home! Any further plans for the summer? over hear we are gliding into another heatwave. This should be fourth one this summer. 35-36C all week. I think next weekend is supposed to bring some relief and get the temperature back down to 28-30ish. I can’t wait for permanently cooler temperature. Summer just sucks the life out of me, I have zero energy and motivation to do anything other than drink iced beverages and get through the days.

At least not in the traditional going on a seaside holiday way. I do wish to see the sea this year, but I am not sure it will work out. Maybe I will rather stay in the home city and spend time with a nice gentleman. Shithole of a city was surprisingly un-summery part of the time I was there. The last few days were quite warm, but it didn't reach 30 °C. I hope the homeland is at least warm enough for it to make sense to go swim in a pool one day or something. Half of the bus journey is behind me already, half more to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I had a seaside holiday was in 2018 I hope to lounge in a sun chair for two weeks straight reading books, drinking cocktails and taking dives into ocean waves come 2022 spring. Have a great time in your city and enjoy the gentleman’s company! Very envious of weather that doesn’t reach 30C right. Then again the universe is ironic enough to send three days of rain when I finally drag my butt down to a short lakeside hiatus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home since yesterday evening. Yay. Still have a lot of clothes to wash. Meeting the gentleman tomorrow. I do hope for warm and sunny weather in the next few days so it will be possible to spend time outside ... on the other hand, if it is rainy all the time, we will just have to think of something to do inside instead ...

RhaenysBee Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Have I mentioned before that this job is killing my soul? I really should have got a multinational company job as a fresh grad, by now I’d be soul-dead and accustomed to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhaenysBee Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) By the way, I found two ads for a used copy of Pride and Prejudice on Facebook Marketplace. Messaged both sellers, I hope one of them is available. There are sooooo many ads for children’s books and young adult books I used to have too when I was a kid. I would never spend the time but I bet it’d be fun to reread stuff I used to enjoy at the tender age of 10 Success. And the lady’s husband will bring it to my end of the subway line by bike. What a deal. Edited July 27, 2021 by RhaenysBee Meera of Tarth and Buckwheat 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
