Coming together

Usual Wednesday route to Centennial (1lap).  Need to start lengthening my Wedneaday run in the lead up to Melbourne, but not this week as it'll be my biggest week in a long while in any case.

Weather OK.  Small but select group of MC, Timmy, Clarkey, Jason R (back after a long while) and Slapstick who seemed happy to run 10m behind us the whole way.  Easy pace (4:40's), feeling pretty tired but a genuine recovery run.  Starting to feel as though things are coming together.

Some thoughts:

1.  Doing summer clerk interviews atm. Amazingly competitive out there.  Thank God I came through in the boom times.
2.  Haven't heard of Paris Hilton in a while.
3.  Sydney tradesmen must be the most expensive in the world.  I blame excessively stringent immigration.  This is a big country.
4.  Why would anyone go on a cruise ship?
5.  My suits are getting shiny.
6.  If all else in life goes to crap, there will always be Newcastle Utd, the Tour de France and Coopers Pale Ale.  And City to Surf day.
7.  Manly versus Bondi is not a contest.  They are both great places to live.  Particularly Manly.

Nice thoughts Tom. My opinion :
1. Couldn't agree more - you need to be exceptional to find a job nowadays.
2. DJing in St Tropez at the moment. French papers are full of it !
3. Paris tradesmen are probably a close second then.
4. Why indeed.
5. Buy some more then yoou stingy b*st*rd.
6. You forgot good wines, sex and Game of Thrones. In that order.
7. Maybe. Perhaps. Whatever!
