First rugby training

The main challenge today was getting to the rugby club at Hugh Courtney Oval [3.7km] for the boy's evening training session; kicking off around 5.30pm and normally going on for an hour (though in this instance it was more like 2 1/2 as it was a grading night.

We are reluctant to cycle there as it means cycling back in the dark with two knackered kids.

For this week, as both Penny and me had knocked-off work early, we walked down to the club. It took a while (45 mins), but hey, a beautiful warm afternoon, walking by Kedron Brook, through Kalinga Park, is pretty pleasant way to pass the time all the same.

Too bad Campbell Newman* wants to destroy most of it by gouging a massive car tunnel through it.

Ordered a taxi for the trip home; about $11.

For next week's training, I can catch a bus out of town that drops me pretty much at the club; the others may walk.

Plan B, is just cycle in the dark.

*Oh, and the Labor Group. Actually, everyone but The Greens.

You are realy having to look on the bright side to make this look "care free", aren't you?
