Sunday 24th March 2013
Woke up with a slight hangover, let's say!  Took pooch out early doors - lordy it's damn cold.   Mooched about most of day.  Helped Phil tidy up his shed which was good.   Did two lots of dough which was also good.


Monday 25th March 2013
Woke Phil up at 4am.  Back to bed then woke up in Siberia and took the pooch out for a walk to get papers.  Glad I didn't go any further than paper shop and back as it was bitter.   Did six cobs; three white; three 50:50 looked marvellous when I set off for work.

Bench at Hulland Ward!

Looking a bit dodgy at Turnditch

Steady old drive in - 8mph over Turnditch due to dodgy road surfaces - gritter man there though so looking good for on the way back.   Good day at work.  Back home for 6:30.  Took pooch on the two mile loop and then watched Boris on the goggle-box.   Whatever you say about his buffoon like act you do end up warming to him a bit.

Up at 4am - got the Bovine Technician up.  Back to bed then up at 5:40.  Bread started.  Pooch walked and papers fetched.  Bread in oven this time with a tray of boiling water in the bottom as an experiment.  All working nicely. 

Wednesday 27th March 2013

Up at 4am - getting the wizard up.  Back to bed til 5:40.  Up and out with the pooch.  Off up to Sheffield. Back to the office; more private investigations.  Back home.  Tea.  Pooch Walk. 9:10 out for a run! Five miles at just under 10 min pace - last mile reet quick to get the average sorted!

Five mile run - fifth mile a minute quicker than the fourth!

Thursday 28th March 2013

Got up at 4am - Phil already up bless 'im.  Back to bed, up at 5:50.  Pooch walked.  Off to Aldi to pick something up I'd forgotten - it was still there - bonus!

Walked Pip two miles round the loop.
5 mile run after work - slightly slower than last night but still under ten minute miles.

Dayus horribulus.  Janette woke me up at 5, pip's barking.  So let her out, unfortunately someone had left front gate open and dog got away.  She was run over and died at the vets.   I ran two miles to try and find her but couldn't a kindly chap from Tissington had picked her up and took her to the vets. 

Half a pound on at group is a great result from where I was on Wednesday!!

Saturday 30th March 2013

Well, that was a day and a night - have never cried as much in my life.  Not really slept. Woke Phil up at 3:45, back to bed, still couldn't sleep. Went a five mile run at 4:50 probably still under the influence of half a bottle of JD.  Horrible day, did loads of jobs, anything not to think about the loss of Pip. More JD at night, not sure when went to bed - everything I did, saw whatever reminded me of her.   

16/2.5
