Didn't sleep terribly well last night and felt very sleepy indeed after getting up in the morning. Could have tried to battle it out anyway, but had the realisation that if I did this at lunch instead I could do one of my favourite Geneva runs, up onto the hills at the back of Pregny. I wasn't completely sure this would work out - lunchtime runs haven't been that great for me in the last year (and hitting a 2km climb straight out the door even less so), but it worked out fine - in fact it's probably the best I've felt grinding up long hills for ages (albeit a bit slow). The views from the top were as good as always, and it's always a marvel to find a spot as rural as this only a couple of kilometres from the UN headquarters.

The local paper had a headline about the Swiss National Bank throwing billions into the fire. I thought they might have been getting stuck into the bank's management of the exchange rate or something like that, but in fact they meant exactly what they said - it was a story about the destruction of superseded banknotes.
