January 2019 ... here we go again!

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

   Mercifully cooler weather today allowed a good 45 minute run to be had, and so slowly I return to the world of running. I was even rewarded with a flood of critters quite different to the tiger moth caterpillars that still invade our home, but which are slowly coming under control. No, far more welcome were the endorphins  which made a surprise return as some kind of reward, I suppose, for getting back into at least some sort of running discipline. It has been a while since my last dalliance with these beasts, and it was as welcome as it was surprising.

   Other than that, it was a pleasant, relaxing day of watching a little cricket and tennis on TV. Australia are staring down the barrel of defeat in the fourth and final test against India. Only rain can save Australia now, and even if this test is drawn, India will still have won their first series ever in Australia. And good for them; they well deserve it.

   Meanwhile, at home the battle with caterpillars continues. But I believe we’re winning.
