A reasonably mundane recovery run on a loop north from my (new) temporary abode. I wondered briefly if my flight last night had landed in Naples rather than Geneva when I came too close for comfort to being cleaned up by a motorbike being ridden along the footpath at one point, but that was all the excitement for the morning. Felt somewhat warm on Geneva's first above-freezing morning for a month, something not entirely unconnected with this evening's first moisture for more than a month (although perhaps not yet enough to trouble the scorers).

The gun control referendum went down, attracting a strong yes vote in Geneva, a less strong yes vote in the other major cities, and an overwhelming no vote in the country. I gather this is a reasonably common outcome of Swiss referenda. It would probably be a reasonably common outcome of Australian referenda, too, if we had more of them on hot-button issues, with Canberra (and perhaps Melbourne) substituted for Geneva (and is also strikingly similar to the outcome of the referendum on whether Norway should join the EU, another one which was successfully framed by its opponents as a battle between the elites and the people).

And it looks like I'm not the only person who's had issues with vehicles which don't float:
