29 November 2022
My Mum, Brenda Walker, died in 2020 from COVID-19 and frailty.

Here are some notes about recent work and web development things. I've not written a post like this for a while and I don't know if I will continue. As a result, I'm not calling these posts "Weeknotes" or "Month Notes" but just "Notes". It's a cunning plan, I think you will agree :-) -

Running Challenge

We're still in COVID-19 November lockdown and I've not run in a race since last year. For added motivation as we reach the end of this second lockdown period (I hope), I have signed up for the Centurion Running One Community event. I have chosen to run 50 km in a week. Next week!
