Monday 18th July 2016 to Sunday 24th July 2016

Monday 18th July 2016
Up early.  Dog walked.  Work.  Home.  Greenhouse – potted up the Brussel sprouts am hoping to get a growth surge on them as they were a bit late going in.  Down to lotty to do some watering.   Got some peas, raspbobs and strawbs and what have you.  Bit of a hot one.

Tuesday 19th July 2016
Up early, dog walked, papers fetched.  Home. Office.  Back home, tea, dog walk, lotty.  Hot two and a half hours – got everything mowed, dug some spuds  - quite a few rotten – soil is still really wet and they felt warm when they came out of the ground.  Am going to have to dig the lot out I think. Left lotty at 10pm.  Bed about 11pm.  Phil didn’t get home until 2am on his birthday.  Daft sod.

Woke up at 5am.  Dog walked, papers fetched.  Into office for 7.45am.  Back home 6.15pm.  Tea. Dog walk.   Lotty - experimenting - have added some muck to an area and going to see if some left over first earlies will do anything by Autumn - could be a hiding to nothing - we'll see.   Got to pull up another row Thursday as well.   Got spuds, runner beans, peas,  raspberries, strawberries and a cauliflower.   We got all sorts coming on strong at the minute - marrows, pumpkins, courgettes, broccoli, red cabbages. 


Thursday 21st July 2016
Up at 5.45 (lie-in).   Dog walked, papers fetched, nipped to lotty as couldn't remember if I'd watered brassicas on plot 13.  Into office for 8.15 so not too bad.  Back home 6.15.  Dog walk then down to lotty with the missus.   Dug the other row of spuds out - a lot of em gone rotten but ground a foot down is very wet - which is says a lot about our Summer I can't help thinking. Brought back a ton of stuff - spuds, courgettes, runner beans, spud, goose gogs and raspberries.


Friday 22nd July 2016
Up at 5:50am - getting later and later.  Still got to office in good time after walking el pooch and getting papers etc.etc.   Out to Ketch for Phil's 21st do - really top food, very enjoyable. 

Saturday 23rd July 2016
Up early.  Dog walked, papers fetched.  Did a bit down the lotty. Golf at 12;20 - lost despite having something like 9 or 10 pars - blooming high handicappers.   Never mind. 

Sunday 24th July 2016
Up early.  Dog walked.  Down lotty - getting slabs up to number 7 for a bit of a patio thang.  Got nine 2x2' slabs up to the plot - found they go quite easy if you use the barrow and take em one at a time.   

There is a slab under the watering cans so will have two rows of three 2x2' slabs

Going to put some slabs in front of shed as well 

Over to mum and dad's for tea.  Very nice.  Bed about 10:30 very tired.
