Halfway into the autumn school holiday, it is milder again so I went for a tempo run around the lake. Unfortunately, the snow cannon has already turned parts of my usual trail into a skiing track so there will be slightly less elevation gain going forward.

Before heading out, I made some AXA Steel Cut Oats and read a most fascinating story about Damascus in the latest issue of Monocle. Meanwhile in Beirut, the banks are preparing to open on Friday after being closed for the last two weeks but capital controls are expected to be implemented in order to avoid a run on the Lebanese pound.
