Bank Holiday Monday 5th May 2025
Up early - more potting up while waiting for Lucy to rise. Missus Siddall doing a car boot at Tansley with Catherine's mum. Went to Alstonefield Car Boot with Lucy and Rubes. Didn't buy anything but bumped into Jon and Sue. Went next to mum and dad's - did a few jobs had some (very nice indeed) sausage rolls as well. Was going to go to Tansley boot sale after that but fortunately rang the missus up to find out she was halfway home so that saved more getting cold! Phil and Catherine came to Darley Dale too so we got some chopping down of small sycamores and stuff - took bag full to Ashbourne tip on the way home which was good! Later on in the day had a rehearsal at SWR with Jon Bigland who is guesting with us on Saturday's gig. Very loud indeed.

Woke up at 5am to a frost, was -2 on my walk. After work I went up to the lotty to earth up my spuds - pleasantly surprised to find the frost hadn't bitten em after all. Got a load of muck carted to the garden in readiness for courgettes to come up. Bit of weeding and digging up of ruddy potatoes in the wrong place. Got another 60 onions in the ground a bit late but not by too much, hopefully.

Up early. Walk done. Lucy driving to work. All good. Got home - potted up St. Georges flowers and some runner beans (think I might have got a dozen so far), since they took peat out of compost it's proved very difficult to get things to germinate a lot of the time. Very irritating. Potted up some more tomatoes too.

Up late at 5.42 so did a shorter walk. Pumped up Mrs Siddall's tyre as it's shopping day. Planted some Blue Lake climbing French beans (hopefully can fill my enormous bean row at the end of the month). Got to find some wool from somewhere. Into the office in plenty good time too - 8.35'ish. Took a little mower up to the lotty abd got the grass cut down a bit, did a tiny bit of weeding and then got back home a bit after 8pm. Watched first episode of new series of Poker Face. Very good.

Work in the morning then after the work went to see StillMarillion (tribute to Fish era Marilloon) at Realtime Music Live at Chesterfield with our Andrew. Cracking little venue (sort of bigger than the Flowerpot, I think).
StillMarillion were brill as usual playing the entire Misplaced Childhood album plus a load of classics from Script, Fugazi and Straws with a few b-sides as well! Value for money or what? Got home a bit after midnight, all good.
Saturday 10th May
Up at 5.20, Golf at 7am, stayed on the course for 18 holes but didn't enjoy it. Sick of being stuck behind trees even on relatively good shots.
Gig on Ashbourne Rec in the evening. Struggled with a kit that moved forwards all night. Such is life
Clip of a bit of "Your Love" with a hint of "Go Your Own Way"

Sunday 11th May
Didn't get up til nearly 8am! No way would I have been at golf for 6.30 or 7.00 even ( even if I had wanted to). Washed car first thing. Over to me mum and dad's, got runner beans in (a bit early for me but that's what they wanted!!). Came back and did and put the canes up on my bean row and did a bit of weeding. Two courgette plants in as well (might be a bit early but have three spares just in case).
