Up early. Mum's 70th party today so got haircut.
Started a new blog on my metre square project: http://metresquare.blogspot.co.uk/
Monday 22nd April 2013
Woke up at 4am to get Phil off to work. Got up proper at 5:45. Slow 4 mile run completed 10:30 sort of pace but was a bit knackered to say the least. Watered everything, breakfast and off to work.
Got back from work - mowed front lawn, put a door on hinges to cover up Phil's lean-to. Put hooks on the metre sqaure garden to fasten down the cold-frame which goes on at night. Planted two more marigolds back right hopefully they'll be okay helping the 1 x Tomato and 8 x Runner beans that will be going in at the back.
Went a walk up the golf course to try out some Taylormade RAC irons I bought cheap from eBay. They're good golfer irons so probably not right for me but the sound when you smack an 8-iron right out the middle is sweet! We'll see.

Up at crack of dawn. Got PJ up for work. Back to bed for a bit then proper up at 5:30. Put a grip on a driver I'm assembling after Phil cut the shaft to size for me last night. Then off for a run up town. 5.18 miles in 52m 07s which works out at about 10:09 miles I think. Which will do for now. Bit late for getting off to work but in the office for 8:40. Best I could do after watering tons and ton of plants!
Good day at work. Home in good time. Mowed back lawn as had some grief about that even though there is basically bugger-all back garden now we've had the drive done. Never mind. Bit of watering. Also planted another Home Bargains Raspberry and another Home Bargains Redcurrant - princely sum of £1.49 each - it remains to be seen as to whether they'll do anything. I don't even know if they are summer or autumn raspberries so will need to keep a careful eye on em!
Went up the golf course to try out the new driver I assembled - a Tour Edge Tour Exotics 9 degree head on a True Temper stratus steel shaft. Also an opportunity to try the Taylor Made RAC Irons that were bought for selling on but just fly when you catch them - hit a 4-iron into the 18th hole approximately 176 yards according to GPS Mapedit. Couple of drives as well at least 240 yards which is good for me - found out the secret of this driver is to use a lower white tee rather than the big grey castle tees that have been using with the bigger modern drivers.
All good.

With all the gardening duties I've been beaten into work a couple of times by my boss which I'm not keen at all on. So today got up earlier did some of the stuff I normally do after running before running and got in before him at just gone 8:30 with a detour for A38 traffic queuing - would have been earlier other-wise. A slow 3.5mile run today at 10:33 pace! Legs felt tired right from the off though so not kicking myself about that!
3lb off at group which is better after last weeks outcome of two weeks of whisky solace.
Re-potted all the tomato plants into bigger pots - they're all over the place currently!
Went and did a bit of golf practice but it was a bit dark. Driver was all over the place but the 8-iron sounds awesome.

Up early'ish. V tired. got the bike out and did 7 slowish miles. First time since November. Watered everything then into work for a meeting at 8:30. Got home quite early all told. Did a load of gardening type stuff - put some more azaleas into bigger pots. Planted some dwarf sunflowers and some sweet corn. Sorted out all the trays and moved things about a bit. Watered the new fruit trees.

Woke Phil up at 4am. Back to bed and only just managed to get out of bed for 5:50. Slow run up town and back - only 2.5 miles but better than nothing. Dropped some paperwork off at Belper and still got into office on time. All good stuff.

Up at 4am, did the child a cup of tea then went to bed again at 5am, slept in til 8:30! Golf was good'ish apart from finishing with a ten - had a birdie and four pars amongst a right old load of rubbish!
