Up at 5.40. Dog walked, papers fetched, son woken and sent to work. Off to work mesen stopping at Lidl on the way to get some printer cardridges. All good stuff. Back from work at 6.30. Tea. Walked over to Claire and Stephens with the pooch to drop off a cat5 cable. Back home. Up into the attic to finish off the flooring (ish - not screwed down as bosskat gets mad if I make noises when the neighbours are in!).

| Bit down at the far end that's a darker colour is from an old 4x2' panel as I couldn't be bothered in getting any more 8x2' panels up into the attic -"enough already!" |

| Am thinking of putting the OWL leccy monitor on the grey generation feed from the inverter to see how much it's pumping out at any time. |

| This last strip varies from 19cm wide at chimney end coming out to 23.5cm in the middle before going back to 22.5cm at this end! Marvellous! |

Up at 5.40. Right tired but never mind. Dog walked, papers fetched and back home for 6:30. Got changed and a slow 3 mile run. Showered, changed again, breakfast and off to work. Just in for 9am with a lot to do today. Got home by 6pm, tea, dog walked again then off to Belper for dog training. Just us there this week the couple with the crazy labrador Willow dropped out this week and Lucinda and Gizmo haven't come for last two weeks! Never mind 1-1 training will do. We did some walking and "LEAVE"ing various objects the trainer Amanda Twine through down. We did the stay drill with treats lined up on a chair -little beggar wouldn't sit though. We also went outside and stood by the road to see what could be done to stop Lily barking at cars. Of course, the dog behaved impeccably and barely turned her head to traffic (made me look like a halfwit - nice one, Lily). Anyway, have got a strategy for it - as cars/lorries approach pre-empt the barking with a "LEAVE" a click on the clicker and a reward for not barking.

Up at 5:30, up town dog walked and papers fetched. Back before 6:30. Changed and off for a run. Another slow three miler. Got back, showered, changed, breakfast and off to work. Like a conveyor belt.
What's better today though (not quicker) is that it felt better which in a way made the time more disappointing but it is promising. I got everything ready last night so the conveyor belt worked much better! Think this is what I need to do when there's a pooch that needs a walk - working quite well really.
Got into the office for 8.40 and got a decent car park space so all's well that ends well. Straight into brand protection work this morning. All good stuff. Back home for just before 7 after going to group - 3llbs off which rubbish really after a 2.5lb gain last week, never mind I suppose it's in the right direction.
Back home - weather been rubbish all day and continued into the night - took dog out about 4 times but no distance just getting wetter each time. Marvellous. Did a bit of a reccy for next bit of loft work. Bosskat wouldn't let me do any sawing though - suppose it was 10pm. Never mind will get it tomorrow.

Up at 5:35. Dog walked and papers fetched. Did some more clicker 'Leave' lorry anticipation training and almost got away with it but a single bark is not a bad result - we're definitely getting there! Got back a bit after 6:30 - got Phil and the bosskat up. Got changed and did another slow 3 mile run. Still slow at 11:25 but hey-ho. Into work for 8.40 which was okay all things considered. Again, getting everything ready the night before makes things go much quicker. Barely needed headtorch today which is promising!

Up at the crack, Dog walked, son woken and sent on way. No run - bosskat is off up the road to Pads. In work for 8.40am all not too bad. Lots of data work to finish off. Home, tea then clearing out the dining room for laminate flooring. Good job have put floor down in Attic so we've some space to put all the rammle (technical term from my mum).
Saturday 8th February 2014
Up at 6:30, bit of a lie-in. Dog walked, papers fetched. More moving ahead of laminate flooring coming in. Bit of work in the attic and not much else to report. By 6pm pretty much done courtesy of top man Richard. Dog is not so sure about it though...
Sunday 9th February 2014
Up early doors. Dog walked. Waited while boss went up to pads then out for a run. 13.15 miles of a run too! Very slow - rain and wind coming in from the West meant getting wet through on my left side going out towards Tissington then on the other side coming back. Ran down the trail for a couple of miles which worked well in terms of shelter - worth remembering next time I go out in the crappy rain.
Did a little bit up in the attic, took the dog a couple of walks then over to me mum and dads for a top tea. No Booze though only lashings of no added sugar fiery ginger beer. 5 weeks and 3 days now (not that I'm counting).
