Round 2 in almost constant drizzle.
Very cold by the end.
Get four free goes before have to pay.
I was the only one wearing a life jacket because I can't swim 50 m.

Working at my twin brothers tidying up his house and front yard.
Whippersnipping metre high grass on nature strip to allow cars to park on opposite side of road and chainsawing multiple branches, stumps and old fence panels. Taking old paint to the Awaba dump.
Hopefully he will do the same for me to allow me to catch up chores.

Since both ankles too painful for running tried an alternative activity at Morpeth.
Surprisingly tiring and hard to get the timing and speed right.

Second painter for quote.
Turned up an hour late.

Work farewell dinner for colleague.
At Foghorn Brewhouse on King Street.
Surprisingly the nicest beer battered fish and chips I can ever remember having.

Skipped gym as painter coming around for quote on house repairs.

Attendance at Weston to help out marking sheets and to see what Peter Newton did with my newly mapped area for its first ever event.

No walking or running for me .... Which based on the heat and condition of competitors upon their return appeared to be a good thing.

7:05 pm - 8:05 pm
Hadn't mowed since 21st November so more than 1 1/2 months!
Been in Adelaide and then yard a flooded swamp for the last week.
So very very long and thick (meaning I had to limit mowing speed to not stall it) and yard looked abandoned.

Mowed nearly all areas but it became too dark to see properly so I will have to return to re-do multiple areas that I missed.

Also lots of whippersnipping required in the coming week !

Attended specialist about right ankle and left hip.
No good news.
Now going to have to wait for left ankle to heal before I can make any decisions about any treatment.
Don't think I will be running for weeks.
