How has your week been?
Went to a culture festival with my mum. She danced her heart out along with her childhood friends her age with the traditional dances that only that generation knows. Had a beer and filmed her like I was the proud parent, said hi to people I should probably know by now, and just sat back and enjoyed the spectacle of it.
That's awesome! Sounds like your mum had a blast! You're lucky to have that kind of relationship with your mum.
She has her moments :-)
The run up to a fortnight of holiday for me, so the days were simultaneously dragging and full of stuff that I was trying to get finished or progressed as much as possible.
However, now I am dozing in the sun with the requisite amounts of clotted cream and cider and a stack of books (Banks' Use of Weapons at the moment).
Once the BH crowds have thinned, I will probably get out for some coastal hikes too.
Love Iain M Banks, Excession is one of my favourite comfort books
Just rereading that one now. It's been decades since I first read them all, and it's fab to get back into that universe :)
May day parade on Saturday. Leeds United winning something parade today. Lot of walking around Leeds city centre without buying anything.
magic cheers mate yeah, how are you?
Went out and did a cheeky run today - first one after a minor op a week ago, and my eldest carried on after me and put more than two and a half miles on me.
Absolute legend. Chuffed for him though.
Yeah I'm good, had a good week!
Also managed a cheeky run after having a couple of weeks off after having shin splints, in which I'd had a three week break before that due to surgery I had. It was a very slow 5k but just a bit of a shakedown to make sure my calves and shins don't still hurt!
Good lad, did the furthest run for a while trying to get back into running after a long break on Saturday morning. 8 miles day after a BBQ on 3hrs sleep is not recommended
Smashing effort. I've never been a running natural, I just do it because it's apparently good for me and cheap as fuck (outside of a decent pair of hooves).
I went and did the Cardiff Bay 5 Mile a few years back, and a pal of mine rolled out of his colleagues place having been out on the piss the previous night, same T-shirt but with shorts on, and just panned in the five miles before going to feel sorry for himself somewhere else. What a machine.
These weeks just keep passing by somehow. Without getting too philosophical, it was a good one. Me and Mrs had nice walks with the dogs, a fair bit of garden work got done, and even the car got a thorough clean.
Oh, and unexpectedly the shoe army marches to Cardiff. Come on you Saints!
Weekend has been a nice mix of sorting out chores, seeing friends (BBQ Friday night, visiting others in a nearby town overnight) and enjoying a beer or two. Going to celebrate SW Day by catching up on Andor EP4-6 tonight
Specsavers honoured my expired voucher so it's going well
I've finally managed to replace my broken window handle. The one that was fitted had a weird internal mechanism and the way it broke meant I couldn't open the window to remove the screws and I couldn't use a card trick to open it.
Got thro a anglo-american wedding without touching on politics only for it to blow up in the cafe on the way to go the airport. #fml
