Surprise fun

Got a call from a climbing buddy with whom I have been in intermittent contact. She has old friends she usually trains with, and I am kind of on her B list, but I enjoy the times we manage to get together. Since our usual gym was in the throes of preparing for a kids' competition, we hied ourselves over to its competitor. It's usually pretty quiet early in the day, but there was a big group of blind and vision-impaired adults doing some climbing, which was interesting. Lots of very loud cheering and encouragement and advice from the watching crowd, kind of like bats doing echolocation, we thought. They appeared to be having a wonderful time.
The day sort of cleared up, and it may actually be nice over the weekend; and beloved spouse will be home.
