It was OK, nice to have a long weekend to spend with the family!

My dad has been stressing me out, he’s clearly in need of living somewhere like a care home or retirement village, and can easily afford it, but he literally blanks me whenever I raise it with him. Like, I’ll talk to him face to face and he says nothing as if I’m not talking to him at all. No “I’ll think about it”, nothing. It’s frustrating because whenever there’s an issue, he’ll call me and I need to take time out of my working day to drive over to his, sort out his shit (somtimes literally) and drive back. I know it sounds cold, but next time, I’m going to just call the his carers next time something happens and he’ll need to wait for them. If he was in a care home he’d receive round the clock assistance, and even more so, some company.

Rant over, I’m loving the warmer, sunnier days! Finally mowed what little grass we have in the garden, sorted out the plant pots and just tidied up the back garden. Actually got a couple of very short runs in too, and after putting ice packs on my calves for a while after, I’m not feeling anything… yet. So I’m hopeful that doing that works, and I can start building up to doing more running again.

Couldn’t agree more.

That’s annoying that you don’t get the UK bank holidays off! How does it work in terms of the amount of annual leave you get?
