July Court Date?
This is odd, but noticed yesterday that the court date for the Gendarmerie’s appeal was set, and it’s in July, so during what I knew to be vacation time for the courts, during which dates are only set for emergencies. More interestingly, another activist had just posted that his court date, also for the Gendarmerie’s appeal regarding the fine he received for attending the November 7 protest, was set for September, so as it should be at this point, after the vacation. However, looking at all the cases listed at that court on that date, not only that all of them are appeals regarding fines, but there’s also one other protester, apparently also regarding November 7, though I don’t recognize her by name.
That’s pretty much what I meant to post right now, because otherwise I just managed to catch up on reading yesterday, after falling behind at the start of the week, and I mean to push a bit now, maybe trying to finish the book on Saturday if possible, which will also mean that the quick review for it may well be this week’s second post, sparing me from needing to just throw something else on here that will be even more pointless. And I also did actually start playing Age of Wonders and I’m already at the fourth scenario, so I’d rather get back to either one or the other.
But before finishing, I should also mention that this week’s run marked the first noticeably worse time over 12 and a half laps, as after nearly identical times on the first four attempts, around 28:22, I now only managed 28:58, and also only about 2:05 for the last lap. Admittedly, some 15 seconds were lost when the shoelaces of one shoe came undone and I had to stop and tie them again after ten laps, but that still leaves plenty, despite the lower temperature, overcast sky and the fact that it had just rained before, so there was definitely no problem regarding heat. Weaving around puddles may have been an issue, but that also meant I was on the first lane for a turn and a half, so perhaps not. Sleeping a mere three hours that morning definitely was a problem, however, as was the fact that I had walked four kilometers in 30 minutes, so exactly at jogging pace, after midnight the night before, returning from an activists’ meeting that had stretched far past the time when it was supposed to end.
