Pool running 45:00 [3] 0.7 km (1:04:17 / km)
Seemed to be working OK today. Lots of rain overnight but only a bit of drizzle about in the morning; swapped this for a run tomorrow because the logistics of tomorrow would have been challenging.
I'm just about to embark on the task of packing properly. Will be an interesting challenge this time round as the range of conditions I could experience goes all the way from tropical wet-season build-up (humid mid-upper 30s) in interior southern Brazil through to sub-Antarctic on Tierra del Fuego and the higher elevations in southern Patagonia. Have decided to go mostly electronic on the book supply though. I'm also whittling away at the to-do list, although not at a fast enough rate to reduce it to zero before departure. (Incidentally, it has been decided that the first person to send me one of the e-mails that I mentioned in Tuesday's entry will be required to bring a cake to the first morning tea after I return - two cakes if it pertains to dealing with correspondence from a climate change sceptic).
Laugh of the day was reading an account of a court case where an injured taxi driver was seeking compensation for lost income. The judge noticed that the driver's annual income according to his last tax return was $5700, and asked him if he wished to maintain this position and thus have only nominal compensation, or adjourn the case until such time as he had filed an alternative return to the ATO. (The driver decided at this point that fessing up to the taxman was the best option).
And, thanks to not clearing a field I thought I'd cleared before checking out the logistics of getting from JFK to where I'm staying on my first night in New York, I can tell you that Google Maps is not (yet) up to the task of telling you the best way to travel from the WA Championships assembly area to a Tribeca apartment by public transport.
