Walk in Reef Hills. It was another day of glorious sunshine and there seemed to be a lot of new growth. There were plenty of (what looked like) orchids sprouting everywhere, and the area that was burnt last year had a thick forest of new trees growing.

Solo swim in the Benalla pool, which seems to have warmed up the requisite 1 degree.

Although I am in Benalla this weekend and the weather is gorgeous - I need to work for most of it on the state command and control arrangements that need to be rewritten (into clear English) by Monday. The process is extremely frustrating and has (almost) brought a new meaning to the term 'tiers of control'. I am also using Office 2010 for the first time and can't find anything - which is adding slightly to the frustration.

I have been having a bit of a laugh watching a magpie outside try unsuccessfully to bite a bit of wire off a long piece dangling from the pergola, presumably for its nest.

Swim in the Nunawading pool.

Walk around Blackburn after work. I went to the osteopath this morning and had some dry needling and some very intense massage on my calf and hamstring. Lots of pain and lots of gain! I felt like a new woman tonight! But then I noticed that the other leg didn't feel so good either and I think a bit of the same is needed there as well. I am getting a wobble board to address my lower leg issues, which the osteopath described as 'needing a lot of rehabilitation from previous injuries'.

Swim at the Nunawading pool. I actually measured my time today and was a bit quicker than l previously thought. I have had a sore hamstring since Sunday - but the further l swam, the better it felt - so l did 1.5k today.

Further to yesterday, regarding the parking, BKV is in no position to be critical of parking officials -as our chief parker is Henry.
