Nothing today - weather was rubbish when I woke up and I thought - I've done enough.
Thursday 6th October 2011
Still not feeling 100% but Keep calm and carry on as people seem to be saying again. Got up early, didn't like the weather first thing but thought what the hell, wind can't be any worse than last night, let's give it a shot.

cycled home against the wind and it was worse then Wednesday. Nightmare. Got home, bite to eat then off to Badminton. Mega lightning at 10:30, well impressive.

Cycled to Work from Belper - averaged 13mph which was okay, not sure whether wind was with, against or across me this morning - very odd, am hoping it's not in me face going home!! Have added a light to me helmet for extra visibility this morning. Meant to take a picture of it - must try and remember to do so. Cycled up Pentrich hill again which is like a 160 feet ascent over just under a mile and I hate it! You can see the climb on the elevation chart on the link below starting just short of 5 miles and ending just short of 6 miles. Fun.
Hard work against the wind going home thought!

Can't shift this cold. Such is life. Got up 5:50ish. Walked up town, ran back in bit.

Up early. tidy up. Cycle2work.
Cycled back to Belper against a 20 mile an hour wind which was a pain in the ass to the say the least. So where I got back in 40 minutes on Thursday night it took nearly 48 minutes last night.
Hard work but I did try a slightly different route through Swanwick to eliminate hills which was at best semi-successful.
Coughing all night so up with the lark, tidying up a bit, soon as it was anything like light I got out tidied up a bit outside then weeded the border which was long overdue. I also pruned back this thing that I'm going to call Giant Hogweed that seems to be trying to take over the border. It's only been in about six months and the stems are thicker than bamboo and it's covered over no end of plants so I pruned that beggar right back. After that I got rid of all the hardcore that Phil left on a piece of wood on the lawn after driving the tractor into the fence (he had to dig the old post out the ground). All Good. When Phil was back from work I did some more on the shed getting shelving in down the ten foot side which was okay. Nothing much else to speak off other than a few trips down to the recycling centre to get rid of various bits of tat. Went to Stepping Stones with me mum and dad at lunchtime. I had a million free dessert with a main vouchers so we took full advantage of that. First time I've had a pud there and it was very nice indeed. Got back and got all of the stuff that's been sat in a tent on the lawn into the shed so that was good and all going to plan. Was about to take the tent down and it started to flippin rain which wasn't so nice. Set me mum's kindle up so she can get books now which was good. Went bed early reading my kindle - I nodded off and dropped the kindle on me face which was fun.
