After two mornings trundling around town in the drizzle with a friend, I ended up with a dozen shiny Eevees, none of which are particularly good but does mean that I've got enough to get a shiny evolved variant of each kind, so I'm happy with that.
One of our local players has set up a field research task group for posting details of stops with the more coveted research tasks. I've been contributing to that more often than I thought I would because the Pokestops on my journey into work this week have been very good to me and I now have four Spinda without having to go out of my way to find a stop.
But my real excitement for the month was glancing at my phone at just the right moment to see someone in the local chat group post about an Unown spawn. Since it was within walking distance and I was waiting for a software install to finish I joined the general stampede to catch it and was lucky enough to get there in time. It did feel as though half the offices in the city centre had abruptly emptied at 4 in the afternoon as a huge number of people ran, cycled and drove towards the market to catch their letter A :) I got back to the office before my install had finished too! I've hardly been raiding this month because work has been so busy that I haven't been getting enough of a lunch break for that but it's nice to have a job where I can join an Unown chase if it happens during a quiet working patch.
