Climbing and Suspect TV

Leaving work later than expected, I dashed down to the climbing centre to meet A, who'd brought a couple of rowing buddies climbing. I arrived with minutes to spare and pottered around while the others signed in and kitted up. We did some easy climbs, mostly on the slabs and couple of the overhangs, with D&H managing to make their way up a couple of the easy 5s. We then did a spot of bouldering — the auto-belays were pretty busy and D was not enthusiastic — and called it a night because the others were starting to feel it.

We went home and found A's parents back from the supermarket, waiting for a pizza to cook. Once they were done with the oven, we popped a couple of baked things in, make some pasta to go with it, and settled down to supper while the others watched TV.

Once we'd finished eating, we joined the parents to watch the end of the second part of an episode of Silent Witness — none of us had the first part, so the whole thing was a bit cryptic. The episode wrapped up with a group of armed police surrounding a gun-toting suspect. As they did so, C started laughing and said, "Wrong! Wrong! They're all bloody idiots!" And when I asked, he pointed out that the police were standing in a ring around the target, so if they'd had to shoot, they'd've hit each other... Not ideal!
