Somewhat miraculously, the neighborhood hubbub diminished, and the workspace was quite idyllic for several hours. Managed a solid 30 minutes on the task, though, before I was distracted to necessary admin planning and due diligence. Tempted just to stay at the desk into the evening, but there is an obligation to the place. So, off to the city center, and I'll hope that whatever Friday charm fell over the place will return.
