Good morning and happy Saturday. When this masterpiece of blogging waffle is published, I’ll hopefully be walking through Sutton Park after a spot of parkrun volunteering. I hope the rain stays away.

So, what did I get up to on Day 21 of Juneathon? Did I get a lot of work done? Did I manage to make a start on my manuscript corrections? Did I procrastinate? Did I run?

The day got off to an earlier start than planned. After a couple of weeks of early starts, I now seem to automatically wake up at 05:30. At least the sun was shining. I stuck on my eye mask and managed to sleep for a couple more hours.

Once I remembered how to access the office remotely, I spent the morning working through some of the hydrology assessments I didn’t have time to complete when I worked in Wallingford. I also got three loads of washing done and put outside to dry. I enjoyed working away from the office and managed to complete a few tasks on my things to do list.

Just after midday, mum collected me and we headed to the Chase Farm cafe for lunch. After spending a lot of time not being able to make a simple decision, I decided to order the potato skins I spotted on the Specials Board. When the ‘potato skins’ arrived I was a little disappointed; if I’d wanted a jacket potato cut in half I would have ordered one. Enough moaning, this isn’t one of my rants and raves blogs!

I got home, switched my work laptop back on and spent a couple more hours working.

Work completed for the week, I immediately went into weekend mode. I watched England lose to Sri Lanka in a cricket match they probably would have been expected to win. I did a spot of housework – why do houses generate dust? – and completed a review post. An email from parkrun reminded me that I’d volunteered to marshal, so I laid out some running gear ready for the morning.

My Friday evening was so dull I won’t bore you all to tears with the details. My clubbing and partying days feel like a lifetime ago.

Random photos from Day 21

I took a photo of my slightly disappointing ‘potato skins’ and tried and failed to take a couple of arty shots. 

I don’t think my photography skills are getting any better. Is there such a thing as an iPhone photography course?

Best thing spotted on the Internet

I cannot get my head around this event!

It is a race so long that runners need a haircut during it. 💇‍♂️
They can get through 20 pairs of shoes. 👟
They run more than two marathons a day. 👟👟
For almost two months. ⏱
On five hours of sleep a night. 😴

Fancy a go? 👀

Just reading the article made my fragile right knee and dodgy left foot twinge.

Cumulative Juneathon Distance: 16.5 km

Do you wake up automatically or does your body clock let you have a lie in at the weekend? I’d love to be able to switch off my internal alarm clock.

Did you manage to squeeze in a parkrun this morning? If you didn’t, are you racing this weekend?
