Monday 19th September 2016 to Sunday 25th September 2016

Monday 19th September 2016
Got up early.  Walked dog, got papers back home for 6:10.  Showered and got shaving kit upstairs so Lucy could have a very early shower.  All good stuff.  Into the office for 7.50am.  Good day in the office.  Got home, tea, dog walk, the usual.  Had a look see if a Tama starcast would go on a Premier single tom mount.  Nope it don't.  Never mind.    Got a box that fits the missus tombola barrel perfectly (don't ask) so got that packed up and into the attic.   Did a good hour and a half practicing mainly Kansas but the odd other tune beside.  Cracking piece of kit the DM6 is and got it for a song!
Watched a little bit of telly when came down (Jools Holland thing with Sting and Kings of Leon on it).  Bed a bit late really.

Tuesday 20th September 2016
Up at 5am.  Dog walked, papers fetched.  Shaved, bit of brekkie then off to Belper to CycleToWork.
Took 52 minutes this morning which is much better.  Hell of a day made a bit of a ruddy cockup with an email suffice it to say - felt sick ever since.  Cycled back to Belper a bit after 5pm - got there in no time on the Giant - hell of a bike that is, fairly flies it does.



 Had tea, took pooch a walk.  Did an hour or so of Drum practice up in the attic.  Came down, watched some Telly went to bed after another walk for el pooch.

Wednesday 21st September 2016
Up at 5am.  Dog walked and papers fetched in plenty good time as had to wake Lucy at 6am which was a waste of time as she went back to sleep.

Thursday 22nd September 2016
Up at the crack of dawn.  Dog walked, papers fetched.  Came out of the office ten minutes early to make sure was back home in time for the missus and Lucy to go see Ronan Keating in Nottingham.


Tea and dog walk.   Then some drum work while it was still light - fitted a port to one of the bass drums (P.J. did the work really) and then polished up an old Premier 2000 snare drum that the missus rescued for me at the recycling centre some years back - bit of moongel for damping on it I think it should be fine with a bit of tweaking.



Did about an hour of practice - think it's gonna be okay!!!

Friday 23rd September 2016
Up late (but then I went to bed late after watching end of Star Wars and then an episode of Black Books).  Dog walked, papers fetched, into the office for 8.15am which was later than normal but acceptable all things considered - ruddy traffic lights everywhere at the moment.  Have been doing some research into affiliate advertising at work so have made a page to see how it works exactly.

Saturday 24th September 2016
Up early doors, Dog walked, papers fetched.  Nipped to lotty and got some Raspbobs and a sweetcorn for t'missus.



Missus took Lucy to Derby so I did a few jobs getting gear ready for the gig.






Golf as 12:12.  Couldn't live with John's handicap - he'd got 22 points on front nine and I was five adrift after a couple of three putts - a further four 3 putts on back nine didn;t help but I got a few pars and a birdie going round and the weather was very pleasant indeed.


Cjuppy tea then picked up at 6.45 for the gig at the Charles Cotton, Hartington.  Which went down very well but meant getting back home at 2am which didn't go down so well with the missus.   Ho hum Such is life.

Sunday 25th September 2016
Up early, dog walked, a bit damp but not too bad.  Missus off to car boot with stuff we loaded up the day before.  Got drums packed up and stuff moved around here and there.



Got some more stuff out of my damp shed and up into the attic.

I was taking Lucy and Grace and her mum to the football match at Ilkeston Town FC's group.   As no-one else would do it I ended up running the line which was an experience I can tell you.  Only gave two offsides and got involved in a handball decision which was interesting.


Back home about 4.30pm, tea at Stepping Stones which was a bit of fun as well.  Never mind.
