Summer at Bougival, by Alfred Sisley (1876) #

1. From the essay archives: Small, Ordinary Bricks

2. From the podcast vault: Flourishing & Acedia (ep. 160)

4. Something I love: Our air fryer that’s small enough to store in a kitchen drawer

5. On my summer agenda: Setting a midday alarm to make sure I read, just for fun, for 30 minutes every day (even in the busyness of book-writing)
