Run around Reef Hills with Peter. I am starting to get the distance and times that I had pre-arthroscope. The problem is that I can only do this once a week (twice a week seems to make my knee tender) and on gravel, which is hard to find in Melbourne. Peter ran the whole way about 2 meters in front of me, in a failed attempt to try and make me go faster.

I spent yesterday with my 7 year old godddaughter and her family picking blueberries at Lima South. I learnt a few new things, including that global warming is caused by the sun moving closer to the earth!

Street O in Hawthorn. It was raining all afternoon but, true to form, eased off in time for the event. Melbourne is like a ghost town at this time of year. It was a breeze getting there and then hardly any traffic on the course. Knee was a bit tender to begin with, but felt a bit better as time went on. I spent the rest of the day attempting to assemble flat pack furniture.

I made the rare appearance at Monday street-O tonight at Upway. This was despite my knee being a bit awollen from yesteday - so l couldn't do anything but walk. The course was VERY hilly and in a very pretty area. Unfortunately l couldn't help noticing how fire prone the area was, with many houses covered in bark and leaf litter. Fire restrictions are not yet on and there was a distinct smell of smoke in the air from burning off - a bit late in the year to be doing it, l think (although given the date, it couldn't be much later). I am back at work this week.
