Yesterday's discovery is that on a really clear day, I can see Mount Rainier from parts of Bellevue Downtown Park. It was a gorgeous January day, of the sort that I am used to from back east: clear, sunny, temperature in the mid-40s F (7 or 8 C). We've been getting quite a few bright sunny days, which I gather is thoroughly unusual. I may stop throwing on clothes and dashing outside at the first sign of sunlight, if this continues.
I solved the bra problem (which I was grumbling about a few weeks ago). Macy's, unlike Nordstrom, carries the brand I'm used to buying, and Bali makes a few styles of 38C bras that I like, all of them without underwire. (They do make bras with underwires, but unlike some companies they don't insist on that.)
Vanguard last night was fun: Jerry and Suzle hosted, and there was what felt like a fairly large crowd. This may be because it was cool enough that the party was indoors except for a few people who went outside to smoke: a few months ago at Kate and Glenn's, nonsmokers were also hanging out outside. Kate and Glenn (who were taking someone else downtown) gave me a ride to the bus tunnel, so I only had to wait for one bus, and worry less about schedules.

roadnotes came to visit us this afternoon; we had some good conversation, and she took some of our unwanted books home with her. (I have been donating them, a backpack full at a time, to the Friends of the Library, but there are a lot left.)
I took advantage of the monthly free day at the Seattle Art Museum to see the Peru exhibit on Thursday. It was good, but crowded (of course) and I got to feeling that I had looked at enough religious art already (representing a variety of religions at different times). My after-lunch wandering through some of the other galleries was more fun, because more relaxed. In between, I got a light lunch at the Crumpet Shop, a potentially dangerous place—they will sell you a bottomless cup of tea, and it's good tea—and had a nice conversation with someone who asked if she could share my table. I had been about to leave, but we were having fun talking, so I got some more tea and stayed a while.
