Sunday 2nd September 2012 to Saturday 8th September 2012

Sunday 2nd September
Cracking night's fishing Gromit!  Two decent size bass (biggish schoolies, 2 little whitingy things, one tiny Rockling on the final cast!)  Got off beach at silly o'clock.  Got woken up by kids shouting on campsite at 7:34 though so a bit short of sleep.   Had decided night before I wanted to get off early so back home for about 2pm which was okay after another breakfast in the tent


Did a bit of work fixing our Andrew's beach caster - re wrapping the bottom ring.

Took me yonks to remember how you do the loop thing but once got that started I think it took 40 minutes ish to wrap, 2 minutes for first coat of varnish then ten minutes of rotating so that the varnish didn't run.

After teas it was an early night, in bed by 8pm, woke up at 5:40.  Steady run up town and back at 9:52 pace.  Happy with that.   Off to work early - McD's for big breakfast meal.  Everybody's got their vice.

Got back from work, had tea then did a bit more work on fixing our Andrew's rod.  Phil has mechanised the process of turning the rod to prevent varnish run:-


Then it was over to dad's to move a fridge (which was greatly eased by borrowing a trolley from work.  Fridge done, back home watched a load of telly, had a beer, bed late, silly boy.

Up at 5:50, very tired.  Slow run up town and back.  http://connect.garmin.com/activity/218691081

Put another coat of varnish on the rod before coming into the office, one more coat and I reckon it'll be done.  Might re-varnish a few rods now we have Phil's patented rod rotator! It may look like a cordless drill with a bit of lego and an elastic band but it's way, way more complex than that. Oh yes, yes, yes.

Sorted a few things out at home - put what I hope is final coat of varnish on our Andrews rod - come out a bit bubbly so might have to start all over again!

Up early doors. Walked / ran up town http://connect.garmin.com/activity/219049504

Into work at 8:20. All good so far.  We finally got Phil's car taxed after much fun and games. So had to enjoy a bit of car tutoring with him.  Hopefully got last coat of varnish on Andrew's fishing rod, might do one final one as it's a bit bitty.

Thursday 6th September 2012
Up early but zero exercise.  Took Phil to work at 6:30 after fetching paper's and doing a couple of odd jobs here and there.  Then found the fool hadn't taken any milk to work with him (ironically his work is a dairy farm!) so dropped him off some milk on my way in.   Into office eventually at 8:40.

Re-varnished another two rods as well last night.  No exercise is a bit of a worry.

Friday 7th September 2012
Up early - paper - Phil drove to work, I drove his car back.  All good fun.  In office 8:30.   There's a debate as to whether he's coming to Wales or not.  I think he's going to jib but can't be sure.   I've got to fetch the kayak back whether he does or not though so that's where we are!

Saturday 8th September 2012
4am took Phil to work.  7:15am went to collect him, 8am got back set of for Wales.  We got there for lunch-time and were out on kayaks in early afternoon - all good fun.  Went fishing later but it nowt out there. Still good fun.
