Up early. Took Pooch a walk round - damn cold. Off to Whitworth Hotel for lunch. Very good. Watched England beat Italy in the Rugby - just good enough! Me and Phil chopped some of the drums he got from his work.
Gonna have spuds sown in em soon as frosts is gone.

Up early doors. Made sure Phil was out of his pit at 4am. Back to bed for a bit then up and out with the Pooch. Lord, was it cold this morning but at least it didn't start snowing until I'd got back home. Which made for a long slow drive into the office I can tell you. Went to see John H after work - he's been ill with pneumonia bless him so no golf for a week or two yet I reckon. Then back home and took Pip out at 10:30!! Tired, you bet.

Alarm went off at 4am to make sure Phil was up but he was no worries. Got up at 5:45 proper and took the pooch up town and back. All good stuff! Into office farily early firing off emails left righ and centre!

Up early - woke the lad up. Bed and then up to take pooch out at 6am. Only office til lunch - school is shutting at lunchtime. Awesome. So worked from home. Sad news that Clive Burr, original drummer of Iron Maiden has dies. Really sad - only 56 as well, taught somebody how to play intro to "Run to the hills" a long time ago Andy Thomas from Elton - who's now a proper boffin scientist who messes about with particles and stuff (I fink).

| Clive Burr RIP, only 56. |
Bosskat was in London today so did tea for Lucy and Phil. Got a phone call from Jon Bigland and Ray Hirst about the 21st Big Lix Anniversary gig in November, which will be at the Empire in aid of the air ambulance appeal.
Took Lucy to Football practice. Took Pip out for a walk and then off to bed.
Thursday 14th March 2013
Really, really tired. Got up at 4am to get Phil up, minus 6 out there he says (he got one of them thar weather stations). Went back to bed, dragged myself out at 6am. Took Pooch for a two mile loop - she spent about five minutes in a rabbit hole - the little swine. Did the pooches brekkie, did Lucy's brekkie, got bosskat up. Got to work nice and early. Back from work - lots to do - comic relief in morning lots of baking to get done! Chocolate Cake, Victoria Sponge cake, three loaves all to a good cause. Took poor pooch out at 10pm but she was happy enough - piddling it down with rain so we only went a mile.

Up dead early to get the wee lad up. Got the dough out of the fridge and into top oven, gave it a quick blast so it could prove some more. Took pooch up town and back - 2.8 miles and got back for just after 7am. Got Bosskat and Lucy up. Got the bread in the oven - read a recipe online that said you should do something called knocking the bread back so the baking part worked like this.
Preheat at gas mark 9 for 10 minutes.
Bread in for 8 minutes with door closed
Open door for 2 minutes
Shut the door and bake at gas mark 5 for a further 30 minutes (bit longer needed in ours I reckon).
Went to Hollie's Group - 7lb on - yikes - reap as ye sow! Bloody whisky. Then into group everything sold well so all good news apart from the weigh gain.
Got home, went for a run - have got to do it this way I'm finding otherwise there is no time!
Saturday 16th March 2013
Got up at 4am - made Phil cup of tea as he was sick in the night. Proper up at 6:50! Took poocher out for a mile and a half. Downloaded Graham Parker and the Rumour; An introduction to.. Watched a documentary on BBC4 on him: something like Graham Parker - Lord, don't ask me questions. Fixed missus car - 10a fuse keeps blowing when it's cold and then the boot won't open. Marvellous. Got a load of soil from molehills near the Shrovetide Goal (with permission of course). Drilled drainage into three of the tubs. Did a three mile run in the afternoon. Watched England get crushed by Wales in Rugby. Laughed at Leicester getting beat by Derby, hee hee.
16/4
