It has not stopped raining, drizzling or in general being wet, for the past twenty hours or so. I will not predict the final demise of the sunny weather and the advent of the empire of gloom, yet I will say that the weather can put you in mood. I guess, however, that at this stage it is just a mood for work. You can't be too distracted with this grey veil outside (I write as I am distracting myself with this writing). So here I am at home writing my lecture on Justinian and having some good quality time with the self. Yes I would love to have company yet I can do without it right now. I think I will put another two to three hours and then simply read someting different. Need to put some more classical music and continue.
