My training progressweight: 64kg and creeping upwards – only because I didn’t run last week, and had very large breakfasts. No worries there.
Consistent with persistent rumours, normal service has been resumed. I am back from holidays and looking forward to rediscovering my routine. (sleep in; breakfast; write a post for this blog; lunch; post lunch siesta; off for a run; dinner; a few wines; an episode of 'allo 'allo, and bed)

final footy footnote. While in Adelaide, the SANFL had their grand final (a week after the AFL one). I was overjoyed that my beloved Eagles won the premiership. These Eagles are the West Torrens ones, not the West Coast ones that won the AFL the previous week. I have followed Torrens for 50 years now, and it is thirteen years since their last premiership and a long, long time since their previous one.
It was doubly satisfying as (a) Centrals were the hot favourites (b) Centrals had won the premiership the previous 3 years, flogging the Eagles for 2 of them and also in the minor rounds, and in the semis (c) staying where I was in Elizabeth I was in Centrals heartland.
It was a 17 goals to 7 victory. Up the Eagles!
