Rather a lovely morning at the top of the Hazlehead parkrun course.
Blue sky, sun behind trees, path, fence, golf green.

Not a bad morning for a spot of marshalling at junior parkrun.
A Victorian park. Grass, bandstand, mature trees, blue sky in the distance but low clouds closer by.

My poster-making session earlier in the week paid off at parkrun today.
A display of MacMillan fundraising information and bunting, tied to a fence.

Getting crafty ready for parkrun on Saturday.
Various parkrun / MacMillan cancer support fundraising information signs, bunting etc.

214 parkruns and 319 volunteering credits under my belt, and today was only the 5th time I’ve been tail walker. Quite enjoyed it for a change but looking forward to being RD next week 😀

New event for me today. Really enjoyed it. Cracking route.
The parkrun popup sign for Riverside Park, Glenrothes and the Garmin trace of the route. Four pics: the welcome sign to the park, Haste Ye Back, a Titanic themed totem with parkrun volunteers, and decorated concrete hippos. A view from high up looking down towards the start area and into the park with trees and a big hill in the distance.

New parkrun for me today… did my NENDY in Aberfeldy on the same day another new one starts in Grantown-on-Spey #loveparkrun

And if you’re in the area, the Fortingall Yew is also worth a visit.

Well the Scottish Crannog Centre is rather wonderful.

Run Director duties for our 11th birthday celebrations yesterday.
Four pics: top left, a Run Director wearing lots of pink holds a clipboard and talks into a microphone. Top right, the Hazlehead parkrun popup sign. Bottom left, a round cake with yellow icing, decorated with sprinkles, rainbows and unicorns. Bottom right, a table in a park with a tablecloth decorated with party balloons, covered in cakes and other treats.

Lovely visit to my NENDY, Castle Woods parkrun in Aboyne. Deeside has got itself an excellent new event.
The Castle Woods parkrun popup sign on a bed of dried leaves at the edge of a path in front of a stone bridge. The Run Director gives his briefing to the assembled parkrunners from an elevated position in front of a stone bridge. Tall trees, path in dappled sunlight, blue sky.

Grey and muggy on my walk this morning but found some lovely colours in the park.
Six pictures of flowers and greenery. In order, they are red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.

It rained at parkrun. A lot. One of those days when you get home and immediately peel your soggy clothes off in the kitchen. Oh, and I was RD. Hence laundry.
BEFORE: a large bag full of very soggy parkrun volunteer vests. AFTER: two clothes airers full of lovely, clean parkrun volunteer vests.

Tidtaker ⏱️ at Løvstien parkrun, Bergen 🇳🇴 this morning! Great parkrun, superb chat in the cafe afterwards.
The Løvstien parkrun popup sign with small Norwegian flags either side, on grass, with trees, other parkrunners and a view of Bergen in the distance, beneath a bright but quite cloudy sky. A person (me) with messy long brown hair, a grey hoodie and an apricot baseball cap, faces away from the camera towards other parkrunners and a view of Bergen in the distance. She is wearing a yellow hi-vis vest with the word Frivillig on it - it means Volunteer in Norwegian.

That’s dreadful 😢

Would “no, sorry, I’ve got plans” work? You don’t need to elaborate and you’re not lying. Your plans are to be home alone. I absolutely sympathise with your plight - nobody is allowed to drop in to my house without significant prior notice.
