Monthly Time Trials

There's not a lot of new news to report as life and work have been routinely unfolding.  We recently attended a "Christmas in July" turkey supper put on by a member of the Queensland Teachers' Exchange League which was quite nice.  It's a bit of an odd celebration - having Xmas in July - but it is the coldest time of year here and suitable for cooking turkeys and the trimmings. We enjoyed ourselves and had a great meal and a gift exchange.  It was nice to catch up with some of the other exchangees, too.

Nancy and I have been trying to run a little bit and today was the Bayside Runners and Walkers monthly time trial.  Nancy had a great run and was fleet of foot whereas I started OK but then died. It was (mostly) fun though.  We both ended up with personal best times, so were happy.
