A bit of a walk/jog around Reef Hills this morning. Knee feels a better but not up to a full run on uneven ground yet.

I made my favourite soup for lunch - jerusalem artichoke - named, I believe, in a politically incorrect manner - as they were originally called 'jew's artichoke' with the implication that they were a 'cheat's artichoke' (being more related to a potato than an artichoke). I wonder how long that name will last. Regardless, they have a divine flavour.

Feeling a lot better now. I drove back to Benalla last night and had the biggest sleep ever (that's what you do when there's no TV) and swam in the Benalla pool this morning with all my friends (again) i.e just yours truly, then started on the autumn gardening. Maybe a run tomorrow.

I'm out in the gardening wearing my King G green pants. The last time I wore these was when I visited Government House to meet Princess Anne. (I can see you all going 'Huh?') .

That was also the (only) time that I wished I paid more attention to my mother's etiquette lessons - 'How to introduce people to royalty'. Of course that would never happen. So there I was at Government House in my green splendor with K and Princess Anne's minder said to me "Could you please introduce your friend to the Princess'......oops!

Got that cold back again. I didn't go to street-O last night because it was my mother's and sister's birthday party. We all squashed into my little flat for the occasion. I don't mind having a bit of a rest at the moment.

Walk around Blackburn tonight followed by some yoga to try and stretch my knee. It was very cold tonight and I have been wearing my Bayside plastic jacket - very unattractive but very,very warm.
