Poor swan, I really don't think it would take kindly to you bothering it.

I read on the news that Europe is experiencing a heatwave called a "Heat Dome." I imagine it must be much more intense than usual.

I'm only now reading and commenting on this post because I finally managed to get my computer back online today. There was a double earthquake on this side of the world (similar to the one in Turkey in 2023), and it caused a terrible amount of destruction. We're lucky it didn't destroy our house, but it did unplug things, knock over shelves, and I had to do a lot of things before I could get my computer working again and get back online.

Anyway, I hope you get some rest, that the heat eases up a bit, and that we'll talk again sometime soon.
