I'm an introvert, so I'm not having as hard of a time as the poor extroverts, but something that I really miss is ambiently being around people. I sometimes like being in cafes, in workspaces, surrounded by conversation and the pulse of busy-ness, feeling like a part of humanity.

Etymology of the day: ‘window’ was a gift from the Vikings, whose word for a hole in a wall or roof was ‘vindauga’: ‘eye of the wind’. Before ‘window’, the Anglo-Saxons used ‘eye-thirl’, in which ‘thirl’ meant ‘hole’: hence ‘nose-thirls’ or ‘nostrils’, ‘nose holes’.
