Hi Juliette--I've been really enjoying your personal blog, OF RECREATION. Your photos and brief prose are always delightful. What is your favorite nesting activity, aside from reading?

Thank you very much! Nesting is serious business. Other than reading, I love cooking, editing photos, indulging in time-consuming skincare routines, surfing the web in a leisurely way, sitting on my back porch with a pot of tea and a satisfied, vacant expression, playing cutthroat games of Scrabble or Boggle, slowly finishing a crossword puzzle, marathoning AMC or TLC shows that are vaguely to do with mental health, like I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant or Hoarders or Extreme Couponing, and simply being at home, a pleasure in itself. Yes, recreational options are limited by not leaving the house; but when the mood is right domestic recreation can induce such wonderful, idiotically excessive euphoria!
