early appointment

Earlier than usual beauty day, which worked out nicely for us; our nonegenarian melted with relaxation over the foot treatments, and we made it home without incident.
Great afternoon session at the climbing joint, and promise of more over the weekend; would that it were not merely rehearsal, but there's still a good bit of fair weather left ahead.
Little early evening meet up with friends and friends of friends; all seem to be doing well.
Nearly done, despite its grim aspects, with Atwood's Life Before Man. The woman knows how to spin quiet horrors out of the quotidian.
