A lunchtime of newts. A couple of days ago, a former pupil asked on our village FB page for volunteers to have their photo taken outside their house as part of her uni assignment; as I know her, I offered. I wasn't sure what time she would be arriving, just knew it was Saturday afternoon.
I went for my run at noon.
#1 - fake parkrun SB. Even faster than the other day. My fastest 5k since May 2017
#2 - fake parkrun and I ran it all for the first time this year
Photographer was waiting when I got home so I asked if she would come back in a bit when I'd had a shower
#3 - because I needed to cool down quickly, I had a COLD shower for the first time (not ever, but the first time in winter!)
#4 - I've been a photography student's model
And an unrelated one
#5 - I've logged all my yarn stash on Ravelry so I know what I've got and can plan my knitting and crocheting projects
That'll do for today

Elaine was my brother in law's preference for my first daughter's name. It was none of his business so I didn't tell him I'd considered it too. I went to school with lots of Elaines. The one who sticks in my mind was a nice gentle quiet girl whose large family must have been "working poor" (two parents and six children in a three bedroomed council flat) and whose USP was perfect attendance at school every year.

Thanks Sharkie. It's nice when you don't know what the day is going to bring and then all that happens, isn't it

Ooh another newt from me, had a ride out on my motorbike, it’s only a 125 so I have to stick to the quiet country roads, rode into the outskirts of the next town which involves a section of dual carriageway which is the old road and got to a roundabout to come back, Mr Jelly was following me on his bike but when we turned to come back he pulled up into a lay-by and said since I could do 55-60 mph did I want to ride back on the proper dual carriageway so we did! Wasn’t at all scary!
