Maintenance

No parkrun today for me! Though far from the state I was in three weeks ago, still I felt the after-effects of yesterday's party enough to prefer a quiet, uneventful day. The evening offers several possibilities: The Hyena Comedy Club at the Cityscreen, or Kathakali dancing at the York Theatre, but I think I will pass, do a bit of work, and turn in early.

If Beyond Monopoly! had not had to make room for a nun's gathering at the Bar Convent, today would have been a game day; but alas, we are second to nuns, as the announcement said. I put the time to good use by doing some washing and cleaning up, and for the first time since I came here getting out the ironing board. It is flimsy and too low, I will keep the ironing to an absolute minimum.

For tomorrow I have no very concrete plans either. I might do a bike tour once more, though the weather forecast makes it a dreary day, with fog and some rain. There is a ballet screening from the Bolshoi once more (Le Corsaire), but I am hesitant: did I like this enough to want to see another one? Decisions, decisions... Alternatively I might stay indoors and work. The weekend is a wonderful time to make some real progress, because anything you do is a bonus.
