Today I was supposed to be on a day off at work, but I had to do a few bits and pieces and this evening managed to book a very important meeting and so have been prepping for that meeting that will be at 10am tomorrow morning.
I had coffee and cornflakes for breakfast again and I faffed around a bit on the internet doing a few bits for work, watched some Frasier with Alan and listened to the Archers on the BBC Sounds app whilst and then got into my run kit to persuade myself to go running. It was much rainier today so actually it was much cooler to go running. I am still tracking ok for my 1000 mile yearly target, but the walk on Monday meant I had a bit of catching up to do so I needed to run 8km. I then got distracted watching PMQs and I had to get back before 2pm to give me time for a shower and food before going to meet my friend Tana for a socially distanced walk. I managed to do a more or less out and back route through Lumby and kept a decent pace and picked up 3 Strava trophies and average pace of 8.16 per mile.
I had a shower and then had a granny smith, a yoghurt and some goats cheese and chutney on crispbreads for lunch.
I was meeting Tana and her very cute 2.5 month old baby girl for the first time at Walton Colliery Park for a walk which was lovely and we saw some goslings and swans. We walked for an hour and got a bit lost, but found our way back to the carpark. It was so nice to catch up and I really feel for anyone who has had a baby around this time, hopefully we'll be in a better situation soon and at least she got to meet her grandparents just before lockdown.
Driving was weird as I was on the motorway and it was as busy as usual and more busy than I would have expected at 3pm and I drove back around the start of "rush hour" too.
I watched the daily briefing which was fragmented and confusing and I'm still baffled why the MPs have voted to not use online voting. I drank a bottle of kombucha and remembered I should buy more.
Alan went out for a run and I listened to some more Archers and cooked Hello Fresh for tea Hake with tomato, caper and olive sauce and tagliattelli. I had to make my decision on work so I've opted for 80% for July to review as needed as this week we have had far more new roles come in.
I'd been debating whether to do Zumba at 7pm or attend an online talk by Tania Hershman and I decided on the talk. She talked about her work which includes what she calls "hybrid" work and I loved this concept. I had hoped to do a bit more writing today, but I felt quite cross and out of sorts and I'm not sure why (other than all the obvious horrific things going on)
I then subscribed to Hay Player as I wanted to watch a few things including a few James O'brien talks.
The news that Alok Sharma has contracted Coronavirus and is having to self isolate I found interesting and I wonder if that will make MPs rethink this cancelling of online voting as by voting for it in this way is like saying they want to conduct a survey of physically disabled people, but going to the top a 25 storey building with no lifts to do it. I don't get the logic of voting against not only the interests of your constituents, but in this situation putting yourself at risk.
