So it has been a couple of weeks since my last update. And still I can't talk about some of it while the lawyers sort things out. I can say that I will not be working for Stork Technical Services from June 8th. I can say that I will be staying in my role as Asset Integrity Focal Point at ConocoPhillips, so effectively there is no change to my actual day job. And I can say that my decision was not motivated by money. Any more detail than that my solicitor has advised me not to discuss at this time.
So what else have I been up to in the last couple of weeks. Well there was Turriff triathlon. I would have done a race report but since it would amount to: swum slower than monday's time trial, biked slower than wednesday's recce and ran slower for 4k than I have in the last 4 years for 5k, it isn't going to be a report worth reading. On the plus side, I did at least manage to finish the race and I did just about cope with the crowd at the race briefing.
I also had Dexter come to stay with me for a week while his dog-walker was on holiday. Managed to go out to the park with him quite a lot, and even got him to take me out for a couple of jogs around Dyce. Was hoping to continue that after he went home but haven't been able to.
Yesterday I went out for a bike ride with some of TPT. I think this was my longest single ride ever at 29.5 miles. It was a nice social roll around Inverurie. Not too strenuous, but good to be outside and doing some proper exercise. If I include the time on the exercise bike, I have already biked more than double the miles this year than any previous year. And even excluding the exercise bike I am on target for my biggest outdoor cycling year ever.
