[Sweder]

Goes without saying, I didn't sleep a wink on the flight.
Shanghai is lurching awake outside. I've been up since 3am after seeing the night out with some salutary Guinnii and a glass or two of red.

Yesterday started with a good run, a short, quick skip across the Chalk Pits with the dogs. I felt great, could happily have run longer but time, as ever, was the enemy. However, my right achillies is tight. This is a new thing and something I'm wary of. A snapped achillies is a painful, debilitating thing. Ask David Haye. Not sure if there's much I can do about it, but I'll be taking it easy, once work is done for the day.

Great Moyleman coverage in the Sussex Express today, as relayed to me by my committee colleagues via WhatsApp. The Great Firewall of China blocks Twitter and Facebook, but Whatsapp survives. We shall overcome.
