Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities - ‘Learning from the Learning’ Forum

“Learning from the learning?” Are you mad? The helpful author goes on to say:

Learning what has worked from these approaches, about what the next steps might be and how we can move forward and continue to learn from what we have learnt is a central tenet of the VCHRR.

Clearly plain English is NOT a “central tenet”. You can kind of follow the thinking: one mangled use of the word “learning” is cool, up-to-the-minute jargon, so two must be twice as good.

Running
I had one of my many vague moments this morning at precisely the wrong time. Five minutes into a fartlek session in Princess Park and I suddenly forgot what I was up to. Was I in a fast bit or a slow bit? A 2 minute bit or a 30 second bit? I was fogged.

I blame the cemetery, influencing me with crazy ideas about mortality and why they chopped down the trees on Lygon street.

Anyway, a fartlek session turned into a sort of tempo run. 12km in about 48 minutes.

Trailwalker
I’m beginning to think 100km on-foot jaunts must be good for the health. Clarkey claims to be fighting fit and I gather Em is much the same. I, however, am subject to frequent mental, what’s the word? Erm….. ah yes: blackouts. And Jojo, I’m not sure I know what she’s doing.

I knew I should have done trailwalker!
