Swim 35:00 [2] 1.0 km (35:00 / km)
Still alive. No need to worry. I have either been busy this week or the weather has been inclement (another good meteorological term). Spent yesterday:
- putting a chest of drawers together from 200 pieces of Ikea (not too hard, and should give me some sort of credit towards an engineering degree);
- braving the storms towing a trailer load of stuff to Benalla;
- settling the sale of my Heathmont house (and no, I am not now rich, I just have a little bit less debt).
This morning I swam in the Benalla pool, due to the doom and gloom of the morning's weather. As the sole patron, I could suggest they turn the heating up just one degree. Normally I warm up in the first few lengths - but not today - I was just as cold at the end as I was at the start, and it took a good hot shower to warm up.
The Ikea experience reminded me of my late relative, Basil Watson, who in 1915 built an aeroplane in the hallway of his parents' home in Brighton. A propellor from the plane is in the Victoria museum - the last relict from the plane after it crashed and killed him.
