Working after shopping in the morning

Last Spring we started going shopping in the morning. At first, it was because the shops were not yet empty and the queues were not too long. But slowly this got into our routine - it’s just better to get that done and have the whole day for yourself.

As the days got shorter we started shopping later in the day. Who wants to get out of the house at 10 am in February? However, we seem to be returning to morning shopping now. There are no more queues at supermarkets so it’s all a very relaxing experience.

Back at home, I started working on all sorts of things, full of energy. So far, this week has been pretty relaxed so I can recharge my batteries. I have about 100 pages left from ‘Lucia’ and then I’ll start preparing for my exams (i.e. reading some secondary sources and refreshing my memory of the books/plays/poems I will write about).
