Remote connections stuck, the fan moving slower than usual, lunch break almost went by unnoticed. Stepping out onto the street, navigating the shadows, avoiding sunlight and people and taking a brief stroll just to get back behind ones own doors again. Research. Development. Directions unclear, maybe a bit too fast to be trustworthy or convenient. Early afternoon. Narrow home office confinements, inconvenient temperatures, a few more things to tackle today.

(Still trying to align that mismatch between real and perceived time: A bright sky spanning a slowly waking neighbourhood, mind's unsure whether to feel tired again or still and then it's not even close to 7am. Getting into shape, breakfast, fresh air. Setting a somewhat comfortable stage for the hours to come.)
