Originally had thoughts of going to the Coogee oceanside (tidal) baths but a wet day at high tide with heavy surf wasn't exactly ideal conditions for that (I'm not sure whether it would even have been open), so bailed out to the UNSW indoor pool instead. This took some finding after getting caught on the wrong side of a construction site: OK once I made it there, although nothing special.

After a couple of reasonable weeks, the Achilles was a bit sore today. As I know from hobbling through numerous airports in the last couple of years, it doesn't like sitting down for long periods, something I'll be doing for a while as of late this afternoon.

Tomorrow's mountain forecast for western Switzerland: northeast winds of 95 km/h and -22 degrees - anyone for skiing? Geneva (now going for -11 with fresh NE winds, the one direction Geneva isn't sheltered from) will be challenging enough.

Things I never thought I'd see: a taxi driver (in Sydney, of all places) who was rabidly in favour of stronger action on climate change and thinks we should be doing more to speak out against the Alan Joneses of this world.
