Either the upgrade of the strain of golfing against Judge Smails for $40,000 has left the blog admin software acting a little psychotic lately; I am intermittently not allowed in to post or edit, and then later it acts as though everything is fine. (I will not, will not, will not speculate on the server’s gender, though you may insert your own joke — and nothing else — here.) At the moment I have successfully distracted the beast with some cheese which allowed me to post this, though, so I can apologize for not posting other things.

The route was recorded with GPS technology and was walked in stages over the 300 hectare site.
My shoes turned brown in the dry fields and they turned green in the long grass.
Security was called on me twice on separate occasions and I lost count of how many times I happened to trigger an automatic sliding door.
