Run 34:00 [3] 4.75 km (7:09 / km)
Bit of a pathetic plod in Benalla. Didn't really feel up to it today, despite the glorious weather.
Walk 45:00 [2] 4.5 km (10:00 / km)

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.

Note
Not much training happening here this week. I went to street-o at Ivanhoe tonight but, after several hundred metres, came apon Dave Knight who had crashed heavily and hurt his knee badly. I duly accompanied him to the Austin A&E where he was number 40 in the queue. I don't know the verdict as i left him with his wife, and he had not been attended to at that stage. I suspect a broken kneecap. Poor Dave - he has been going so well lately and was looking forward to a number of fothcoming events. :(

(rest day)
Attended my sister's birthday dinner tonight at Cumulus, which was in keeping with the meteorological theme of recent days. Each Tuesday I write the state fire report to the minister, including the forecast for the week. Last week the severe weather foecaster described the forthcoming week as 'settled', which is almost as precise a meteorological term as 'mizzle'.
