A holiday

Since July 4th was a Saturday this year, my institution nominated the following Monday as the "holiday" to be taken in lieu. Which meant that I was going to have to take today off, and teach on Saturday to make up for the missed day.
Well, my students all thought this silly, so I spend the holiday teaching instead.
I'd rather have all of next weekend to myself, thank you.

But we did manage to go swimming in the afternoon, without any thunder to force us out of the pool for half an hour. LOML had taken the kids a lot last week, but this was my first time to go in about two weeks, so it was wonderful.

Yours, swimmingly,
N.
