Yesterday we went to Newcastle just to say we drove along Hunter St. It was made famous in a song " The Newcastle Song" from a couple of decades ago. It's about Normie getting in strife with a couple of locals on Hunter St.
We didn't see Normie but stopped on the beach front at Nobby's so I could go for a run while Mrs TF read a book and watched the locals.
I ran over headlands and along beach paths to Merewether Beach and back. A quick dip in the sea at Nobby's ( between the flags ) ended a very nice outing.
Today, another nice day if just a little cooler, but this time just from the park out the Tomago road and back. Wind again a little cool and against on the way back. Overall, pleased to be able to run two days in a row.
Might have to check the running calendar for something to focus on during the winter.
We stopped under the flight path at Williamtown airport while 4 fighter jets landed. Mrs TF again got a good picture of an FA 18 Hornet with legs down. I'll load it and publish next time.
Not good news from Mrs Muscles on the injury front. I hope the physio and sports doctor can do something for her without surgery. Otherwise, passing exams with flying colours is much better news.
