Happy Birthday Dad!
Seems some primary schools are going back today, but not ours. Our year six goes back next week, and only for two days a week. Our year two does not have an estimate for going back yet. They're both definitely ready to go back, they actually want to, though it might be a shock when they experience the new regime. Sounds like it will be a bit weird, lessons will be different, break times will be different too.
I'm not ready to go back yet, which is good, as there is no hint of me going anywhere just yet. I'm trying to o useful things while I'm off, I cleaned the shower and descaled the coffee machine today, and have made our regular Monday penne arrabiata. It's not really a replacement for full time work though.
Popex still has not set the internet alight, I will likely just shut it down again before I got back to work. I have tweaked the price changing rules today as the lines on the graphs were looking a bit flat to me, basically the expensive shares kept going up and the cheaper ones kept going down.
Joe Wicks workout was very hard today. I did it on my own, as the boys are going to do it later with Clare when she gets in from work.
It's a lovely day again, 21° so I will drag them out on their bikes in a bit (it is lunchtime now).
I did a 10k run yesterday, even though it was very hot out. I got a calendar reminder that it should have been the Folkestone 10k, so I doubled my normal run. I ran to Sandgate, up the hill, down the hill, and round Hythe1. The breeze was in my face as I ran back along Princes Parade, but it was very welcome. I still have a little pain in my foot, I figured it out though - I must have got a stone stuck in the huge grips of my running shoes and I ran for a while with a stone pressing in which gave me a bruise. Apart from that my feet also felt a bit stiff when I got up this morning, so no run today, will rest it.
The news is not about coronavirus today, but about America being in turmoil. There are protests outside the Whitehouse, and Donald Trump has been moved to a secure bunker, hmm sounds familiar. He's also declared all the anti-fascists are his enemy. That's not a good look.

10k: Ten km, about six miles to you. Sometimes talking about 10,000 steps though, an arbitrary daily step-count target.
