The week was ok, but we had some inlaws down for the weekend, so took them off to beaches and nice places, to the point that I don't want to go back to work today.

And you? Got your walking desk sorted?

My week was OK thanks. My dad ended up in hospital on Thursday after myself and several staff from his local surgey couldn't get him into the car (couldn't walk). Told me to take him to hospital or call an ambulance, which he wanted to simply go home. Told him it's not happening and that I'll call an ambulance if he refuses. Turns out he has celluitis and he's still in hospital now.

Got my desk and walking pad set up, yeah! It's decent, done about 9k steps today so far on it. It's surpsing how warm it's making me , I definitetly couldn't do it on the hotter days! It also gives me "sea" legs when I stop and get off, I almost have to hold onto the walls of the house when I'm walking about for a bit!

Sorry to hear about your Dad... yeah, I think "previous generation" (aka "older") men don't like the fuss and would rather struggle on for days than get help.

I should know, I'm probably one of them 😉

How's walking and working at the same time? I'm curious as I really need to lose some calories and 10 hour days at a desk with occasional trips to the kettle isn't good... but typing? And Teams calls?
