Trying to keep up with the F1, cricket and other rugby matches whilst watching Tigers!

After being approved to be an event ambassador this week, I had a fun time celebrating Andy’s 500th and Tim’s 250th #parkrun today at Oaklands. Nearly ran out of tokens from the token dispenser but a parkrunner did find our missing 125 token 😁

Morning! #caturday

Wide awake at 6am. Let’s do some squats/legs.

Kind of wished I hadn’t started going through my unworn clothes and putting them on Vinted because now I fear I won’t stop 🫣

Guess who “gifted” me a pigeon earlier?

Lovely #parkrun at East Park in Wolverhampton, got my fastest time of the year, and had to come home with a literal slab of bread pudding.

Birmingham's assets are being sold off faster than the auctioneer's gavel can strike. Why don't we know more about it? 🧐 Today's story is about Brum's rush to sell, sell, sell and pay off its debts. 🤑 www.birminghamdispatch.co.uk/secretive-an...

Celebration central at Oaklands #parkrun today as we have the following milestones: Pam - 250th run Sandra - 200th run Dave J - 250th volunteer Dave T - 100th volunteer Ben - 50th volunteer There’s lots of cake and I’ve designated myself as the cake monitor having done VC duties this week 😁

Great to see @robinince.bsky.social again this afternoon in Kings Heath with @lyzzybee.bsky.social. Can’t wait to start the book and I’m fully embracing the “Normally Weird” tag 😂

Had a great time at University Parks #parkrun this morning. It would have been rude not to get a “Simmonite and Ammonite” photo at @morethanadodo.bsky.social and then I just had to buy this dodo which I’ve named Doddie.

Day 1 of exam season. LFG.

Barney is 3 today 🥳🎂 and brought me a mouse while I was catching up with Race Across the World. Thankfully it was still alive but not too alive to run around the house 🫣 Safely back in the field opposite the house.

Who likes garden centres? My mother Who will happily walk around a garden centre knowing there’s food at the end of it? Me

Lovely morning at Oxford #parkrun and great to see a Stanley with a knitted/crocheted jumper! He was hanging out with the parkwalker Sonia 😊

Beautiful bluebells in Moseley Bog

Nothing says welcome back after Easter like 9 boxes of exam papers 🫣
