Swimming 37:00 [3] 1.0 km (37:00 / km)
Didn't get a lot of sleep last night because of a persistently barking dog (presumably left behind by its owners who have gone elsewhere); eventually moved to the front room. Felt like I was rather lacking energy for the swim and it showed in the performance; at least the brilliant sunshine woke me up. (The new goggles also worked pretty well).
An old Canberra Christmas tradition which I thought had disappeared in the big city was leaving beer out for the garbos (along with the carrots for the "reindeer" and the beer for "Santa" - I recall asking if the latter would put Santa over the legal limit for driving a sleigh), but there was one lot of it on top of a bin this morning. This (and other similar episodes elsewhere in the suburb) would explain why the garbage was a bit late in being collected.
There's not a lot of traffic around in the inner city on a Christmas Eve Monday, although I did steer well clear of the Queen Victoria Market.
