Got up at 5:30. Dog walked, papers fetched into the office for 7.45am Am depping for another drummer in September so have been getting source material off an external hard drive to learn together. Need to get calloused back on hands as well so going to start practicing at lunch times! After work am going to take pooch to lotty to get the broad beans I put in a tub for seeds and also to measure in Shed 7 for a bigger shelf to put spuds on etc.etc. After work went to lotty to get seed potatoes and broad beans and stuff that I'd left in a pot (in the rain like an idiot). Had a quick look at the patch of land that the council is supposedly doing an ecological survey on - seems very partial?

When got back I 25% filled up two potato bags that I'd got from poundstretcher that had been reduced to £1.99 for three and got three seed potatoes in each. The idea being to have some fresh spuds ready for Christmas.

Overlaid! 6.25 when got out of bed - what's going on! Still got papers and got into work just a little bit later than usual and still 50 minutes earlier than due to start. Went to cancel Now TV Entertainment and got a £3.49 per month deal - am seriously thinking about switching SKY right off?
Got home after work, quick tea then off to see Lucy playing football. Great turnout both of players and spectators for a mid-week friendly. Ashbourne got a bit trounced by Mackworth 4-0 but they're coming on and that's the main thing.

Up at the right time. Dog walked,papers fetched, wet day. Lucy got her GCSE results - 6Bs 3As 1A* (A* in I.T. - who knew??). What a little brainbox - don't know where she gets it from, certainly not me.
Got home, didna't do much due to rain stopping play - took pooch out a couple of times and watched a load of American hocum called "The Last Ship" - proper gung ho apocalyptic tat! Still watched four episodes back to back so maybe it's better than I thought. Also got another iron boxed up ready for despatch. Bed a bit late and fee wee nips before it. Really need to be getting my act together.

Up at 5.30, papers fetched, dog walked, into the office for 8am. All good stuff. Nipped out to Wilko at lunchtime on a bit of a tip-off and got a metric tonne of seeds for next year (slight exagerration but you know what I mean - a shed-load of em). All Wilko's own seeds reduced to 50p even the £3 multi-packs with ten different kinds of seeds in them. I reckon I've got everything I need for next year apart from onion sets and seed potatoes. All good stuff.

First day of bank holiday - wet as used expect. Went up to play golf but it didn't happen such is life! Lucy had a sleepover at ours with Grace and Becca.
Sunday 28th August 2016
What did I do? Not blooming much. Made the girls breakfast because Janette was off Car Booting. Then took all three of em to footie on the rec - it was supposed to rain but it was red hot instead. They lost 5-2 but played so much better. All looking good.
