A pleasant morning of mooching around town, dodging the worst of the showers and hanging around in cafes. Stopped of at home to pick up a few things, during which H took the photo that's going to be my dust jacket shot, should I ever need one:

And yes, I am a deliberately over-dressed; the glasses, shirt & waistcoat were affected in anticipation of my ultra-cultural trip to the theatre. It's still a damn fine photo though!
We grabbed lunch in town and chatted away until the time came for me to go and meet R & her mum at the Bike Shed Theatre to catch a show. Unluckily for us, the play was over-subscribed and despite putting ourselves on the standby list, we didn't manage to get in. It was a shame — I'm sure it'd've been good, based on what I'd heard about the Ovid thing — but instead we reluctantly resigned ourselves to tea and conversation — enjoyable if all too brief — before agreeing to meet up later in the week for climbing related activities.
