Definitely a much quieter Christmas morning this year compared with last year (which probably has something to do with the youngest person in the house being 46, compared with three under 6 last year). Didn't get up particularly early and didn't rush to get out, then headed for a recovery run out to the back beach. Stiff early and hard work on the sandy bits (and slow there too), with Achilles iffy without ever being quite as bad as yesterday's worst, but improved in the second half. Came back by a route I haven't used before, taking in a Bell Street which is definitely not the same as the one I'm more familiar with, both in a traffic sense and as a socio-political boundary.

Somewhat to my surprise, I didn't see any kids on bikes (new or otherwise). Perhaps they knew about the presence of the driver with a large anti-coal mining sticker who seemed much more enthusiastic about stopping Adani than about stopping at intersections.

Took advantage of the lap pool to do something I don't think I've done before on Christmas Day - a second session, which cleared some of the evidence of a day of overindulgence. A bit ho-hum early on but felt as if I was doing some pretty solid work by the end of it.
