Sunday 16th October 2011 to Saturday 22nd October 2011

Thursday 20th October 2011
Got up about 5:30ish. A bit more snagging then got on with cleaning up my mess. Found a roller in the box that was wrapped in cellophane from last time we did any painting - it seemed to be still wet so cleaned that out before putting everything away. It's ready now for plumber and electrician to finish the job off.

Getting tired'er. Got up 5:45, did a bit of snagging in the bathroom covering up little bits that got missed. Cleaned all the brushes and tidied up, fetched papers, running late. Got to Belper for 6:35 and then biked into office for 8:30, shower and then back to me desk.

At noon the forecast for 4pm is North Westerly Wind avg 13, gusting to 21mph - am going to see what it actually feels like and report back later. -- Wind was actually fine really set off at 5:15ish and back to car for 5:55ish so a steady ride back with quite a bit of pavement which always slows things down.

Did a bit more snagging on the paintwork before bed.

Up at five thirty so a bit of a lie-in, which was nice. Didn't do any running or anything other than gloss skirting boards and door frames. Practice with the band after work. Back home for 8:30, another go at the skirting boards and then off to bed.

Up at 4:30, third coat of paint on shower room. Just about there now. Going to cycle in to work in a bit. Cycled in to work and then back home against the bloody wind. Nightmare. Back to car for just gone six though so not the end of the world.

Funny thing was coming along the funny path after the Wimsey Way diversion I sensed a presence. Which turned out to be an oldish chap on a bike who used me for a wind shadow for the next couple of miles overtaking me down near the pub - nice to see someone else uses the same shortcuts I'll let him overtake next time there's a strong wind.

Have ordered a replacement strap for the Garmin which am missing already unfortunately. Put fourth coat of paint on the bathroom - it's done now - about time.

Not much to report. Got up early - put first coat of paint on shower room. Went to Nag's Head for Pad's birthday. It was alright. Back to golf club for nine holes. Worst for a while but such is life. Back home, second coat of paint on bathroom. Have I mentioned that the Garmin 405cx is out of commission until I get a new strap for the damn thing, thought not.
