Note
(injured) (rest day)
Felt a bit better today, in as much as I could walk with a reasonable degree of comfort (without feeling that it was anywhere particularly close to being runnable). At least this saved me the problem of working out when to fit a run in.
Had a very early start this morning with a 6.45 flight back to Melbourne. Got a bit of a shock on looking at the Financial Review in the lounge and reading of the passing of someone I went to school with (the fact that I was reading about it in the Financial Review gives you some idea of his career trajectory); I'd lost touch with him after last seeing him at Easter 2003, by which time he was already a meaningful player in the WA business world. (The bit which did surprise me in the article was to learn that someone who I remember back in the day as not having any obvious interest in sport was on the board of the West Coast Eagles).
As is sometimes the way given the personnel involved, our return trip to Adelaide diverted somewhat, and took us through the ghost town of Johnburgh, home of a plaque which recognised the foresight of its pioneers upon the centenary of its founding in 1976. Perhaps 'lack of' should have been added before 'foresight', because Johnburgh is one of numerous grain-growing settlements of that vintage on the wrong side of Goyder's Line which had more or less ceased to be within a few decades - most of those which had managed to limp on that far were finished off by the 1895-1903 Federation Drought.
