Sorry guys, were big queues for burgers & burrito by the time I got out for lunch, so went for a big cake instead. Delicious though!

Have an extra 900 kcal to play with from exercise, how should I use it?

Sometimes it sucks to have good QAs. Not only do they find all the bugs you've put in, but now they're raising nasty bugs someone else put into the same code module six months earlier

Close call with an IM typo, was a quarter second away from telling the new QA to call me whenever she was randy (rather than ready)

Oh come on, Boy George on The A-Team was the greatest moment of the Eighties

Marathon recovery plan lets me do short easy runs at usual frequency this week. Such a relief to get out again today and yesterday. #running

Woohoo! Two hour meeting... cancelled!

Trawling unsuccessfully through #running websites looking for marathon recovery advice that says "Nah, don't bother with three weeks gradual increase, just get back into it mate"

Replaced the half-broken toilet flush button this morning. Both segments work now, but the new part has no nut & thread doesn't perfectly fit the old one. Frustratingly it's just a bit loose.

Apparently there's a medicine called Fucidin cream. For a bit I thought the parents' Whatsapp group had just started angry, misspelled swearing.

Bit reassured to find that Dashi in Octonauts is apparently wearing a brown shirt. Thought it was some kind of topless bar thing with just a skirt & then a collar. https://octonauts.fandom.com/wiki/Dashi_Dog

Made it to the finish! Slow and hard, but made all 55km! #running
