I came back to this computer and saw I'd started to write "ran two days in a row", so that means I've not written anything for two days I guess. And now I've done four days! I ran to Hythe and back yesterday lunchtime, just for the break, as it was such a busy day with work. A couple of things had gone wrong and I had to deal with the fall-out of that, as well our regular business. Still all good. Then went to the Inn Doors after work, just speculatively, not planning to meet anyone. Was very quiet, I was the only customer in there for a short while. A couple of friends came in later, but I still left there about seven. Got chips for the way home and then dozed in front of some TV programmes. Clare and the boys have finally finished Lord Of The Rings. We watched "This Cop Life" that we had recorded, it had one of Clare's cohort on there, the programme had been filming her first shift on the job. As it turns out it was her last shift too, she had a miserable time of it and quit right after that.
Parkrun today, an average sort of one. If I'd not started right at the back it could have been a good one, but it was a very busy one. It's a lovely day out, a bit breezy, but real nice. I was a little bit late as I took the boys along, as thing two had his vaccination right after. That went well, he was nervous, but it went just fine, he was very brave. Anyway, parkrun, oh dear for some of the runners:
THIS IS FOR THOSE RUNNERS WHO TOOK PART IN THE 23rd APRIL FOLKESTONE PARK RUN
Unfortunately we have had an issue with the results on one of the barcode scanning devices. This has meant that 84 runners results have been lost.
OK for me though:
Folkestone parkrun results for event #331. Your time was 00:24:20.
Congratulations on completing your 81st parkrun and your 73rd at Folkestone parkrun today. You finished in 64th place and were the 36th Male out of a field of 312 parkrunners and you came 6th in your age category VM45-49. Take a look at this week's full set of results on our website. Your PB at Folkestone parkrun remains 00:20:50. Your best time this year remains 00:22:49.
Or was it OK? If my time was one of the lost ones I could have submitted my own estimated time and got a new PB. That would of course be cheating.
I dropped the boys off at Grandpa's for the day and came back to suddenly remember Clare was waiting for the car. She was heading out for a work team lunch today. So I'm free for the day! I'm going to clean the beetle, and try and offload some charity shop stuff. This rarely goes well, so if it's only clothes I'm going to use one of those clothes bank bins. I do have a load of brick-a-brack though too, got lots of glasses and crockery and things I want to clear out. Then when that's done I think a walk into Hythe and a pint at the Potting Shed.
Twenty-nine years ago today, the only time I saw Poison, at Hammersmith Odeon I think. Ah yes definitely as I still have the ticket stub. Or at least a scan of it now.
