a special place in hell awaits

right between Phillip Ruddock and the entire cast of My Kid’s a star whoever is responsible for this:
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 [...]

shorts

You’ll be thankful to note, yesterday’s proposed change of editorial direction doesn’t seem to have much of a future.
I did try. I tried my whole-soul best to think of something erotic and running-related, but I just don’t see how it’s possible. The best I came up with was the idea of posting a picture of [...]

anderson street hill

For some god-awful reason, known only by my sad excuse for a subconscious, I decided today was the day for a tempo session AND hills. One can only assume I’ve done something extremely bad in a former life and/or in a dream.

Entire flocks of lambs were shipped over from the UK and Australia to Japan by an internet company and marketed as the [...]

rain

A very rare experience this morning - a run in the rain. The rain!
It’s a funny thing, these days when we actually have rain, it’s all a bit of a surprise. You have to find the umbrella from way in the back of some cupboard or, in my case, the back of the shed. Either [...]
