A Saturday morning run based around Ivanhoe and Darebin Creek (making use of the new bit of bike path). Seemed pretty quiet for 8.45 on a Saturday, even to the extent that the newspapers outside the Macklin house were as yet uncollected - I can't imagine you get too many opportunities for a sleep-in when you're a federal minister (especially when your boss is Kevin Rudd). Also a few mud patches from yesterday's rain, although 7mm is hardly stellar (northern Victoria did much better).

The run was reasonably mundane for the first half but became good in the second, especially in the last 15 minutes as it did on Thursday. I've got a bit of a sniffle at the moment but it doesn't seem to be affecting my running at all.

Seems to be a big day for auctions: two today in my street and eight at places I either ran past or drove past on the way to the markets. Whether anyone will actually buy any of the houses in question is something we'll find out in tomorrow's paper.

Also finally got around to filing the pile of maps that's been accumulating since January. I have two filing cabinet drawers full of maps; the only folders I didn't add anything to today were Western Australia, New Zealand and Britain + Ireland.
