I got up at 705, walked the dog, made and ate breakfast, did the dishes, studied Russian and did my (Russian) homework.

Trained chest, abdoms, calves, and biceps at the gym, and then I went down town to have a Russian lesson with Lera.

We worked on my (dialog) worksheet and comparative adjectives.

Friends of hers from university who work at Cedar Point stopped in to help.

I did some cleaning in the garage, and some prep for the show on Sunday.

I noted in the paper that today is a free day at the Rock Hall, and notified Daniil and Lera.

In the evening was our LocoBrits annual summer social – great!

A bit of rain fell, but it cleared up, and I had a dry run home.
