Juneathon Day 29: the one with parkrun volunteering and accidental cans of Punk IPA

Good morning and happy Sunday. I can’t believe it’s the last day of June and I’ve only got to write one more Juneathon update. Such a lot has happened this month. I can’t believe that at the start of the month I was living in Wallingford, it already feels like a lifetime ago. On the penultimate day of Juneathon, the sun woke me at 06:00.…

Juneathon Day 28: the one with a wardrobe error and race entry

Good morning and I hope that you are having a great Saturday morning whatever you are doing. When this blog is published I’ll hopefully have handed out a lot of finish tokens in the correct order. If the morning has gone really well, I won’t have had any clumsy moments. Arrrraaaggghhhhh #panic So, what did I get up to during Day 28 of Juneathon? Did…

Juneathon Day 27: the one with some DOMS and goodbye to FleaBay

Good morning and Happy Friday. When this blog is published, I’ll hopefully be working from home, making good progress with some quite technically challenging flow assessments. So, what did I get up to on Day 27 of Juneathon? Did my feet recover from the run? Did I manage to answer all of my work emails? After a terrible night’s sleep, I woke up feeling shattered.…

Juneathon Day 26: the one with a meeting in Birmingham and run in Sutton Park

Good Evening and Happy Thursday. The end of the week (and Juneathon) is rapidly approaching. Only a few more days of me sharing an insight into my mundane daily life to go. I sometimes wish I was brave enough and talented enough to work for myself. Then I remind myself that freelancing sounds like it has the potential to be incredibly stressful, and that I’m…

Rants and raves #37

**Disclaimer: I’m writing this post after a not so successful day in the office. I’m also feeling slightly more stressed than normal as I’m still trying to get used to working in a busy office. Apologies if this selection of rants and raves are more moany than usual. As always, all moans and groans and rants and raves represent my own views. Dozens of far…

Juneathon Day 25: the one with a return trip to Reading and power pint

I’m typing this on my iPhone a train so there may be even more typos than usual. I also found the time to have a quick pint with one of my ex Wallingford colleagues in Reading. And the toilets on the train are broken, a potential disaster. So, why did I end up in Reading on the 25th day of Juneathon? I rewind back a…

Juneathon Day 24: the one with some technical hydrological conundrums

Good morning. When this blog is published, weather permitting I’ll be working from the Reading office. I’ve got a CIWEM meeting this evening in the Reading office, so I decided to spend the day working with some of my hydrology colleagues. If I get stuck in Reading for whatever reason, Wallingford is only a short bus journey away 😉 So, how did Day 24 –…

Juneathon Day 23: the one with some peace and quiet

Good morning and happy Monday! I hope that everyone who reads this had a great weekend. I can’t believe it’s Monday morning again. The weekend seemed to fly by, let’s hope that Monday does too. So, what did I get up to yesterday? Did I have a productive day? Did I manage to make protein banana bread? Did I spent far too much time staring…

Juneathon Day 22: the one with a spot of parkrun volunteering and Hidden Heights tour

I’m writing this while suffering from a spot of DOMS. I’m not sure of the cause; it could have been running past some cows at a slightly ambitious pace, it could have been walking up a lot of stairs. I must remember to keep moving today. So, what did I get up to yesterday? My Saturday started with an attempt at running (with walk breaks)…

Juneathon Day 21: the one with productive working from home and disappointing cricket performance

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…
