Blog ≫ 2026 ≫ Did manage to take my wellness hours
Nice, those couple of hours off we were all awarded did work out for me. I rattled through the AI and security training I had to do and finished early. Went for a walk along the beach to Hythe, but really just going the long way round to the Potting Shed. Got surprised by a squirrel on the way; was walking along and suddenly realised there was a squirrel on the fence next to me. I think we both made each other jump. He stayed there really close to me, but moved to the tree when I got my camera out.
Done parkrun, let's chuck the details in here:

I had taken T1 to work first and then struggled for a parking space, so I must have got there a good couple of minutes after it started. I made my actual time about two minutes quicker than that.
It's a nice day, not quite as warm as it looks, but that's great for walking! We're all going to Folkestone when T1 finishes work, I have CASH out to take to the guitar shop, and then we're going to get some food. Maybe down the Harbour Arm, maybe Burrito Boy on Tontine Street. Yes it was pay day yesterday, and I still have some left! I bought a couple more tracking tags from https://chipolo.net and some dinner plates from ebay. I'm sure I said earlier in the week I had something on my shopping list... oh yeah going to look for a replacement needle for the record player!
