Has been a hectic week at work. I got out of going to London by volunteering for an early testing job, so started at 5am on Thursday. It's good to be busy and it feels good that everyone wants a piece of me. I had some really good spontaneous feedback from a new manager too. He's not my manager but wanted to tell me he had noticed how good I was. Very nice! Too late to contribute to my pay review... That must have all been good though as I got a pay rise and more of a bonus than I was expecting.
I told Clare I have surprise extra money. This caught her out and she doesn't immediately have plans for it, but we might plan a short trip at christmas time.

Thank you very much for your support at Folkestone parkrun, event 385 on 2023-05-20. You've now volunteered at this event on 13 separate occasions.
I thought parkrun was better than that today. I know I had a slow fourth kilometre though, was feeling slow and hard to keep going. Still did it, and did the volunteer scanning at the end. T1 came with me and did the scanning again too. One of the volunteers there was celebrating an epic milestone, he'd volunteered 250 times. I'll be pleased getting to 25 and getting that t-shirt.
I went to the Potting Shed just for a sensible two pints yesterday. Walked along the sea front as it was so nice. Some chat about travels there and then a salad and chips pitta on the way home. Then sat up later than was sensible with Clare watching Have I Got News For You. They'd been watching Star Wars episode one while I was out, the boys have got right back into it.
A lovely day again today, so another walk along the sea front. I will try and get rid of some charity shop stuff before I do, declutter a bit. Then maybe a brief stop in the Potting Shed again, before being back for tea time when Clare is going out.
