A long day which, perhaps inevitably, became longer - I was planning to be up at 5 for a 6.30 flight out of Launceston but in fact woke up sometime before 4 (cross-matching with yesterday's entry will indicate that this means not very much sleep). Expected to feel awful later in the day but didn't.

Had time in the evening for a swim or a run but not both. I'd expected to be flattened by a long race yesterday, which wasn't quite to be, but still settled for a swim (also felt a bit uncomfortable walking after taking a knock on the shin yesterday, although I expect it's bruising which would have been fine running). Went to Northcote, the first time I've been there in the evening - which was a big mistake because almost all of Northcote's indoor and outdoor space is devoted to other activities on a Monday night (be it squads, lessons or water polo), and after getting kicked out of two other lanes, I then attracted the ire of someone who considered me too slow for a medium lane (quite accurately, but as the only remaining public lane I had nowhere else to go). I think I'll head elsewhere the next time I'm doing something after work.

I had not previously been aware until the activities of this charmer that using a carriage service to create offence is actually a crime (at least in NSW). I've got off surprisingly lightly in the online-abuse department but many of my scientific colleagues have not been so fortunate.
