Autumn. Damnit.
Sep. 2nd, 2009 10:45 pmI do not mind autumn. I quite like autumn. I merely find it objectionable that part of autumn involves it pissing down rain from clouds the colour of ashes all freaking day.
Apart from that pernicious annoyance, it was a pretty good day. My tiny cheque from the college travel grants people arrived and was promptly assigned away - although I held onto enough to make a pleasant sidetrip to the bookshop - and I posted off the forms that assure me of government-funded GP and pharmaceutical care for the next little while. (Bureaucracy, man. The wheels of government grind slow and fine, but at least they mostly don't chew you up.) I got a couple more pages of Le culte d'Isis read, too.
And climbing was good. I've identified a couple-three projects - alleged 6As - and climbed more smoothly the 5 and two of the 6As I did on Saturday. I mean to try a couple of interesting-looking 6Bs when I'm still reasonably fresh tomorrow.
I will talk about the books later. Now, I rest.
