Leaving work at 4 - train to Beaconsfield where I left my car on Wednesday (to avoid the traffic) and then drive to Worcester to get my son. Drive back to the flat near the dome. Saturday shopping and then off with my son to see Eddie Izzard at Wembely....great timing that on Cup final weekend and then back to the flat. Sunday we drive him back to Worcester and then drop the car back at the flat. Me and the wife then travel from Euston back to Manchester and home. Then up at 4am and get the train back! So a fair bit of commuting/travelling!

Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -

Which parkrun do you do?Originally posted by MyUserName View PostA 5k park run pushing my 19 month old son in his buggy.
Last week my local run was cancelled, so went to Alice Holt. It had hills! Nearly killed me.
Coming up for my 50th run (and T-shirt!) in a few weeks. Disappointingly I haven't improved much since my first.
Apart from parkrun, need to crack on with my last OU essay. 'Where is the periphery now?' - anybody???Comment

Weekend started yesterday with Fathers Day which was spent with beer and wurst listening to Dixieland and Soul, Blues and Rock 'n' Roll here:

Today will be a few drinks and a meal with friends somewhere. Tomorrow is Kegel and on Sunday will be going down to the Pfalz where an old friend lives who is the ex-bassist from Manfred Mann who will be performing an acoustic evening of Bob Dylan tunes in a synagogue. Then its back to work...“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

50 - wow nice work! I did a 1 mile run in full armour on Tuesday lunchtime. Took me 22 minutes, I am hoping to do better than that when I only have a buggy to push!!!Originally posted by mudskipper View PostComing up for my 50th run (and T-shirt!) in a few weeks.

So what is everyone doing?What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
