Delta dealt a blow to our plans for this last Sunday when the Queensland Government called a snap lockdown the day before. Once again it was a case of exercising in households - and this time we were limited to a 10 km radius from home.
Leave Pass was lucky to be within 10 km of the beach at Upper Kedron, looking (as he describes it) "windswept and interesting". Or perhaps he was talking about the Upper Kedron waves....
And Upstanding, Idle Vice and Gunther were lucky to be able to enjoy the views in Wilston, on what would have been our Sunday route (Q: Were there skinnydippers in the pool?)
Miss Demeanour also had a stroke of luck this week - the Gold Lotto ticket she received from her Secret Santa won her $15.60!
Payback and Zoe headed off from home to terrorize Warner with their slavering jaws:
And in Cedar Creek, Culture took the opportunity to do a bit of "Plogging", netting $1.10 for her efforts (Gold Lotto pays better):
Watching the Opening Ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics, Hugandkiss was reminded that her mother made the hats for the Australian Women's Olympic Team at the 1964 Tokyo Games: "She made 40 hats, fine rib stitching the entire hat including the brim. This photo featured in an article highlighting the best Olympic uniforms. Note Dawn Fraser 2nd from left, front row."
(It's also worth noting the footwear. Nowadays, only the Ukrainian Army makes its female members march in high heels.)
As we go to press, the lockdown has been extended until 4 pm next Sunday - and it's far from certain that it won't be extended again. It's also unclear what conditions will apply once the lockdown does lift. So Shockjock and Miss Demeanour's Hash meet next Sunday will also have to be postponed...unfortunately...and we'll have to prepare for another week of household hashing. Watch your emails for any further developments. We look forward to Upstanding and Idle Vice's - and Shockjock and Miss Demeanour's - runs and walks in the near future.
Next run/walk details
When: Sunday 8th August
Where: Given that the lockdown will extend until 4 pm, household hashing will take place within 10 km of your home (chiz, chiz). Please forward pics of your activities to feature here.
Hares: DIY, everyone. Send us pics of your trail markings if you like....
On, on!
