Followed the bike path along Sturt Creek to the bottom of the expressway, where I couldn't get under because of the roadworks for the duplication (yes, it's now going to run both ways at once) and had to do some doubling back through the Science Park, slog up to the top of O'Halloran Hill then wheee down to Reynella interchange, across to Hallett Cove where I could have caught the 4:05 train to the city, then along the Cove Rd admiring the ocean views - but not so much the headwind when I hit the beach at Seacliff, and back along Oaklands/Daws Rd which really needs resurfacing.

To the redwoods & return with Bridget/Simon, Zara/Callum, Fern, Greg (after signing the contract on 85 Sheoak Rd with George so I had to drop him home first). Surprisingly flat tonight even before I heard the sad news about John Williams. But I guess it has been a full on week.

In no hurry but didn't need to be, 'cos I had a headlamp. At least it was significantly warmer than this morning, when I piked (and took the dog out to admire the frost instead). But home is not warm - 12 deg in the kitchen when I was cooking dinner.

Mortlock Oval. We won't talk about the times 'cos I didn't break 50 on any of the 10, but I get full points for effort.

Warmup 12 min, warmdown 10 min, jogs back across the oval were the rest. I guess if I lived up in the hills I'd have nowhere flat to do intervals; not that I do them very often anyway.

Down to Frank Smith Park and back with Fern, Bridget, Simon. We found some mud. Also Bridget showed us her maps from Europe. I am surprised at how many she accumulated!

George didn't want to go to Wallaringa breakfast, and I wanted to go see the waterfalls at Morialta after rain, so I did both and he did neither :) Tried not to think about how I felt and to just admire the scenery, which was really lovely; Hardenbergia flowering purplily (probably not a word?), the first glimpse of golden wattle, and enough water flowing past the stepping stones below 3rd falls where the bridges were washed away in November 2005, to require verrry careful foot-placement.

I think I have fallen in love: http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-sa-bel...
But I bet the first thing mum says when we tell her is "Sheoak Rd is the most dangerous bushfire-prone road to live on in the Adelaide Hills"

Can't think why my legs were a little weary...something twinging in left hip which I will need to stretch.
