Seven weeks? Must be a teacher then! That’s more than I get in two years total.

No, not a teacher
I have it in my contract, it's not that uncommon here in Sweden.

Enjoy the long summer days (and bright nights) of mid summer in Sweden.
How weather can change so fast. Two hours ago I was swimming in the sea and enjoying sun and 30 degrees. One hour ago there was a substantial thunderstorm with lightning and very heavy rain and wind. Fortunately I made it home on foot before the deluge.
Must be nice! I’d settle for 7 days off without doing some work. Fat chance.One more day of work to go, then seven weeks of vacation. Going to be lovely.

If it wasn't for the fact that it is currently winter there, I'd say Melbourne.
But then I'm from Sydney. All the nice weather is up here...
A few years ago a friend of mine went to Dallas Love Field to snap a picture of the AF1... he was quickly surrounded by Secret Service agents.

How nice - how really pleasant - something I hadn't realised I missed so much - it is, to be able to meet with someone you are close to, face to face, (while still taking suitable and recommended precautions).
Decent brother again? Glad you are getting to meet up and get out for a coffee etc again.
I'm going to try and meet up with my Mum in July when I'm off work. I've seen my Dad this year, but I've not seen her in about 5 years so need to make the effort (well she won't!).
An excellent idea, and I hope it works out well for both of you.
What's on my mind? "Mallet Finger", that's what. Yesterday my middle finger on my dominant hand "drooped". Have what's called "Mallet Finger" and have to wear a splint for 6 weeks. Never heard of it before. Not painful at all but makes things a little difficult. I can type OK but writing is v awkward as it affects how the pen is held. I'm someone who writes every day so this will be the biggest inconvenience. I can however still hold my wine glass and whiskey tumbler so it's not the end of the world!
When you wrote mallet finger I assumed you had hit it with a mallet! Could be worse. Friend of mine builds and fly radio controlled petrol planes. About two weeks ago he decided to stick three of his fingers in the propeller. Not a pretty site! He's been flying them for 20+ years.
I'd been away with the gf for a weekend (Halifax and Harrogate (both lovely)) and had just got home. Picked my iPhone up and "droop". Was quite funny actually but then when googled it says seek medical attention as soon as possible so phoned 111 yesterday and got an appointment at A&E. Had an X-ray and was in and out within an hour. It's just amazing how much we depend on each digit. Try, for an hour not using one and you'll see.
Harrogate is indeed lovely. Not been for years, but I recall it being pretty. Never been to Halifax.
I assumed something similar. At one stage I had Gas Cylinder Toe. I managed to drop a full 9kg gas cylinder on my big toe (9kg gas +10kg cylinder). It smashed/mashed the end bone of my big toe. Couldn't strap it or put a cast on it. Just had to wait until it healed.
A long time ago, in a different century I had a Vertebrate Zoology lecturer who had Spade Fingers. They were long, and wide, and flattened at the end, and just looked incredibly clumsy. However watching him do delicate dissections was an education in itself about not making assumptions based on appearances.
