Up at 5am. Dog walked, papers fetched. Took stuff over to Darley Dale for me dad’s birthday, then Tesco for pretend Welsh goodies, then into the office before 8am - awesome performance overall if I do say so myself. Finished a bit after 5.10pm and off to Heage to pick up a golf bag! Got golf bag after negotiating various diversions for water board works. Got home just before 6.30pm. Tea. Dog walked then adjusting the irrigation station - it kicks off at 8:05pm and 8:05am (I think - have not witnessed and recorded the am one yet but I know the evening one is definitely 8:05!!). After speaking to Charli at work it became apparent that my T sections were superflous you just put droppers in line so am not sure what the point of the T sections are but it seems to work a bit better the new way - still no water getting to the final tray so have replaced that bit of pipe as I reckon there is a blockage in there. Did some pottering about in the garden. Got the charity shop clubs listed on eBay. Watched a bit of telly - nothing on.

Up at 5am again. Took pooch to lotty and watered plots. Moles are giving plot 13 a bit of jip it would seem:
Then off to get papers. Into the office for 7.45. Hoping to leave a bit early so I can give district council a bit of jip in the local plan consultation at Ashbourne. Busy day at t'office. Didn't get away early but went to the Local Plan Public Consultation Meeting at the Elim Church at 7pm and put my tuppence worth in. Good fun. Got home in time to see the automatic irrigation system kick in 8:05pm sharp! It's now pretty much sorted - need to observe it once more and then I'll hopefully be more or less confident it's there!! Bed early'ish.

Up at 5am again. Watered stuff outside at home then off to the lotty as it started to get light - watered then got some courgettes, runner beans and a lettuce to bring back. Then up town with el poocho to get papers. Back home ready for work then into the office for 7.45am. A ton of stuff to get done today as well. More work on the watering system.

Lie-in. Didn't do Lotty as done last night - so just dog walk, papers fetched and then off to work. Rain has kicked in so no watering needed.
Saturday 20th August 2016
Up early - drizzly tat, fetched papers with dog. Supposed to do a photo-shoot but it got rained off. Not to worry. Did a load of jobs in the greenhouse while Missus and Lucy were at Ashbourne Show. Another walk with poocher before playing golf with Darren and Jordan - I started off with a birdie (no less) and then it was downhill thereafter - think I only parred a couple of holes but was there or thereabouts on most holes. Watched Snatch on Now TV movies which was okay.

Up early. Dog walked. Took pooch down to lotty to do a bit but she wasn't happy as someone shooting shotguns nearby so didn't stop too long. Got pea row taken down and tidied away. Chopped broad beans down to ground. Took pooch home and then went back to lotty. Got rid of brassicas that had bolted and took a load of rubbish besides down to the tip. Tidied shed 13 up as well so you can at least get in it now. Am thinking about putting a bigger shelf into shed 7 to put spuds on as Shed 7 is pretty much totally dark when doors shut? Need to do a bit of measuring - might do that tomorrow.
Got a decent haul of spuds, runner beans and raspberries - forgot to get courgettes which was a bit daft.
Am going to write to Aldi regarding the two metre squared cloches as both of them had poles that broke. While taking pictures of them the dog came out for a roll on the lawn.

Watched Solaris on Now TV movies which was rather wierd and kind of like the arty movie that is being filmed in the Mr Bean goes on Holiday film bizarre as that might sound!
