(Garden question: is there any point to mulching at this point in the year? The weather's about to cool down again, so I don't really need it for moisture retention, but there are some unsightly bare stretches of dirt, and I am getting tired of digging weeds out of them...)
Thankfully, the rest of the day has been less arduous -- a two-hour lunch of rice and curry and fruit and lemon knots with Roshani, catching up after my summer of mostly-isolation (I got weirdly solitary and inward with the chemo treatments; it was just me and tv most of the time), and am now vegging out with the kids.
I just wasn't up to writing today; so be it. I'll try to set myself up to write tomorrow morning, I think. A story to finish, a chapter to revise...
