okay and here is my ‘sounds like a shitpost but it’s genuine’ UK heatwave tip: if there is a Saxon or Norman church near you, and it’s open, go sit in it. not gothic, they have too many windows, get you some thick stone walls with some high up tiny windows. they stay cold. and you can just sit there

Here I was, struggling through a challenging period when the editors for a collection I am contributing to sent me really good feedback and thought-provoking questions. I am grateful to them. 🖤 They made a rather hopeless period more bearable.
