April Review

 It's the April update, now six months of winter on the way.

Starting with a new miscellaneous section for other events of the moment.

• Two months of federal election news - it doesn't get much worse
• The campaign process is just as bad as usual
• Avoid risk
• Criticise opponents whenever possible
• Don't commit to any beneficial long term change
• Spend billions on marginal seats
• Statements and facts rarely checked or questioned

Another month with no running events and not much coming up either. I was going to do the Run The Rock 13.5 kilometres race but with bad weather the night before I ended up missing out. I completed my parkrun PB streak at 25 events after going to Lancefield and Newport Lakes. For a while longer I'm doing the tourism streak (different event each week) which is a bit over 40.

I finally got a sub 18 minute parkrun at Dorset Recreation Reserve, but the timekeeper missed a few seconds. However there's a very slow turnaround, so maybe it evens out. Another new event at Frankston Nature Reserve which was a fun trail course with a few challenging small hills.

Nothing good to say about the sharemarket, I think I'm running at a loss for my super after 10 months of the financial year, and that includes contributions.

Some sport seasons finishing up.

• March Madness - at last Kansas won again, but I didn't get to watch any games
• Gridiron Victoria - went to the final at Croydon but it wasn't even close
• NBA - starting the playoffs but Brooklyn are already out
• Soccer - just Liverpool and Manchester City every week

Not a lot to report on the to do list.

• Blog
• Still haven't done the 2021 or 2022 updates (again)
• Running
• Brisbane a small chance for June
• Adelaide perhaps in September

Still the same at work, and the project is another few months behind schedule, might never finish.

That's it for this month.
