Oops, it’s Saturday and I just realised I completely forgot to post last week’s notes. Not that I imagine anyone will have missed them!
Back to work after the Christmas/New Year break, and so far it’s been a nice easy re-entry.
I got another invitation to book an over-40s health check, and finally got round to it this time (only 16 years late). If nothing else, it’s an excuse to postpone booking a GP appointment to discuss the elevated blood pressure that the pharmacist measured when I went for my flu jab, as I imagine the health check will pick up the same thing. I also got sent a bowel screening kit, which apparently is something they’re going to start doing every couple of years now.
We had a very small amount of snow at the start of the week, and some lingering cold weather. The snow wasn’t really enough to count, but did make for some nice photos when a couple of foxes popped into the garden. One of them was confident enough to take food out of my hand, and I saw him again when I got back from parkrun on Saturday to find him sitting on my front doorstep apparently waiting for me to get home!
The Seville oranges were in the shops, so I made my first batch of marmalade (14 jars, from 4lb of oranges) on Saturday.
Stowmarket cross country on Sunday, so didn’t manage to fit in a long run this week. It was a cold windy day, but fortunately most of the course is in the woods so was nicely sheltered.
