Day: 9 June 2026

Coming down the freeway heading for Phantoms run in the leafy suburb of Nedlads, the city of Perth was barely visible through the rain, and I’m thinking not for the first time, “What the heck am I doing out on a night like this?” However, skirting around Leederville, there was no rain and arriving at Phantom’s favourite run venue, the Gods were very kind to the old devil as it was a dry and relatively warm night at Hollywood Bowling Club, where the run started.
About twenty-odd runners and walkers were set off at 6 pm by Phantom, and the walkers were led by Stewie, who did an excellent job keeping us all together. It was a very pleasant walk through a number of back lanes (Which we only see in the posh suburbs), and we all arrived back at the bucket in just under an hour, a sign of a well-laid-out run.
As for the runners, as far as I know, only Pothole stuffed up. All reports said it was a good run, and again it took the full hour, as I said, a sign of a well-set run.
The circle was short and sweet. Moses told a joke about the Pope, but the only one listening was Maggie, and I don’t think even she got the gist of it. There were a few returnees, and Reluctant was presented with an engraved beer jug for twenty-five years in Perth Hash House Harriers.
On On until next Monday,
Rimmer.
