A quarter of the way through the year already, which seems almost as unlikely as being more than a quarter of the way through the century. It’s beginning to almost feel like Spring too, and the lighter evenings are nice despite my general antipathy towards daylight saving time.
I watched the last of the Columbos. I hadn’t realised that the ”season 10” specials lasted sporadically until 2003, meaning that despite starting in 1971 the show almost outlived Buffy.
Another short work week, with Monday and Tuesday off as well as the bank holiday on Friday. Not that I got many useful tasks achieved in my time off, naturally! I did manage to accidentally contribute to reducing energy use by (a) making a flask of coffee for work on Thursday with cold water after forgetting to boil the kettle, and (b) having marmalade on bread instead of toast on Saturday after absent-mindedly buttering it after slicing instead of putting it in the toaster.
First week of marathon taper, so less running this week, but that did include the Sudbury Fun Run on Good Friday. I managed to be only one second slower than last year (Or a 0.58 percentage point improvement in age grade, as us old folks like to say).
I made hot “cross” buns again, for the nth year in a row. I didn’t think they came out as well as last year’s – I used the Dairy Book of Home Cookery recipe, forgetting that last time I followed one I’d found online – but they went down well with everyone after Friday’s race and parkrun on Saturday.
