Fun scrum, Sam's toe and Zoe's school play

I didn't mention this before but I had to buy a large collection of tiddlywinks last week as the boss thought it would be a great way for the scrum teams to record time. They'll each get eight tiddlywinks (one for each hout in the working day) and have to deposit them in appropriately labelled pots for the number of hours worked. Yes it's silly and I do have the hassle of having to count them and then record the data in a spreadsheet but the teams seem to have taken. I was most amused when one of my scrum team members created this in our daily stand up this morning.

After work I took Sam to the podiatrist to have his toe checked out. Sadly the prognosis was that there was little point in just hacking things about like last time to see what happens. The podiatrist immediately recommended a minor operation to take place ASAP. Sam was a bit worried about how work would react so he phoned his boss to let him know what was happening. To minimise his time off Sam has arranged for his operation to be done at 18:20 on Tuesday night. He will then have Wednesday off for a checkup and a chance to rest. This should mean that he can return to work on Thursday (complete with sandals and a comedy bandage) but at least Sam's management can't complain too much as he has tried to make it so he only has one day off when it could have been many more.

Final stop for me was meeting Toni at Eltham Hill School to go and see Zoe in her school play. Unfortunately we were banned from taking pics or videos so sadly there will be nothing posted here for you to share. It was a really good show, everyone was a star and Zoe was also great (as we'd expect).
