How has your week been?

It was good, very much enjoyed having a long weekend!
I went for a run on Saturday after totally failed the previous Sunday due to my shins hurting, and it was awful, only managed 2K at a very slow pace and had to stop, so I think I'm going to have to pack the running in for a bit until my lower legs recover. I've since joined the local gym to try and stay somewhat healthy, having done upper body on Monday and then lower yesterday (Wednesday) and now I'm absolutetly wrecking; I can barely move!
Sunday my Dad came over, like he normally does every Sunday for dinner. The previous week he said he was going to bring a leg of lamb over, so I'd asked him to come over much ealier so there's time to cook it, except he came over at 17:30, and the lamb took over 2 hours to cook, so it was 20:30 by the time we actually sat down to eat. Luckily both the kids didn't seem to mind and weren't over tired, but it was still a little frustrating that he came over so late, especially as I was waiting around all afternoon for him to turn up.
I've been watching The White Lotus (on season 3 right now) and also The Long Way Up, where Ewan McGreggor and his mate Charlie travel up from South America to Los Angeles on electric bikes.

It was great to have the long weekend. I’m beginning to think that every weekend should be four days!
My wife gave the BBQ a thorough Spring clean while I focused on unscheduled lawnmower maintenance. First BBQ in warm weather is always a treat, and the lawnmower started with first pull, so that was nice.
- My mower will probably start with the 1st, maybe 2nd pull, but man, the deck is so rusted out I think it would cut my toes off.
  Better check ebay for 2nd hand mowers...

Went away for a couple days over the Easter weekend, came home to a leaking hot water cylinder.
Turns out the welding on one of the connections has cracked, but fair enough the manufacturer is going to replace it.
- I hope the water didn’t cause much damage.
  
  Thanks. Luckily not, well, the plasterboard ceiling (beneath the tank obviously) appears to have dried out without cracks or yellowing... yet...?

A hornet has spent most of the week sizing up my shirt rail as a potential nest site. Persuasion hasn't worked, so I have ordered a screen for the window.
I was only called in for one problem at work over the weekend, which was easily resolved,. Spent the rest of it sorting out the shed, pottering in the garden and reading.
In a week and two days I will be off on a regular holiday with friends for a fortnight. It always seems a long slog between Xmas and this one, so really looking forward to it.

Things are good. Nice Easter weekend with nice weather, can't complain. Hope you all had a good Easter too.

Went over to Europe for a festival, really enjoyable right up until the point when I got food poisoning. DX Had to miss the last day staying in my room close to a toilet with recovery fortunately quick enough to make the flight home risk free but I'm still learning what I can and uh definitely can't eat yet
- That sounds like a real rollercoaster ride of a weekend!
