Previous week note: Week note — week commencing Monday 23 March 2026
The week where March turned to April and the long Easter weekend took me to Cleethorpes, Brighton, and Billinghurst.
Health, body – and running
Didn't do the end of week weigh-in as I was away. Expect I'm back to 88.5kg after the Easter weekend (CHOCOLATE) but that's fine. Planning a looked after week of eating and quite a bit of running this week.
Shout out to Matt Jukes who hasn't had the best health the last couple of weeks. Big up, big man.
Five runs, 32.18 km.
Monday 6.32km, Tuesday 6.04km, Wednesday rest, Thursday 7.68km, Friday rest (travelling), all round home. Saturday 5.13km and Sunday 7.01km in Billinghurst was nice to get out for something different.
Year to date: 401.22 km.
No gym this week.
Felt tired early in the week. Clocks changing hump?
Work
In theory a three-and-a-half days working week.
Product in the A(e)ther on Tuesday evening — notes from the session.
Assembly assembly on Wednesday lunchtime, good to get about 13 fellow Assembly workers together. We'll do it again in about a month.
Some interesting chats in workland about evaluating, discussing even the value of options — the difference in the long term of costs if we do something quick now versus something "longer burn" — and collaboration doesn't have to be everyone in the team doing everything together. Operating models too.
Getting out
Good Friday: Gave out some Easter eggs to some good eggs. Grimsby Town were disappointing, as my mum used to say. Tony B's match report here. The pre-match fish and chips at Ocean Fish Bar was spot on though, and nice to catch up with my mum for an hour on the drive to Cleethorpes.
Saturday: Brighton was good fun. Enjoyed a walk around the Lanes and onto the pier, where I lost 3-0 at skeeball to Kristin, who is the reigning household champion.
Sunday: Petworth House has a fine collection of art and I enjoyed a stroll round the village afterwards for a slice of pecan pie.
Great to spend time with Becca and Rory who put me and Kristin up for the long weekend.
Mind and culture
Published the run note for March on Monday.
Watched Romesh Ranganathan's Can't Knock the Hustle, filled some time, took my mind off things.
Was exposed to Hot Tub Time Machine.
House and home
The plants are coming along nicely.
Final replacement window scheduled to be be in place middle of April, w-hey. Getting some shutters for the new windows after that 💸
This coming week
Arsenal v Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday evening, being a good partner and supporting the cause.
Porto v Forest on Thursday — allez allez Porto.
Still deciding if I want to/can make the Grimsby/Crewe game on Saturday. It's the last few games of the season...
Brooklyn Nets' season finishes Sunday, their bobbling around at the foot of the Eastern conference coming to an end, mercifully.
