Woke up with a hangover. Can't imagine why. Went to see Sean Locke last night who was very good indeed. Had a little drink when we got back - that might be it.
Up early anyway, but not as early as usual. Did a ton of gardening. All good stuff. Then we went to Doncaster. It's been five weeks since we lost Pip and we needed a canine to fill the gap, bad.
Say hello to Lily. Nice tea at mums then back home to dig out all the little doggy stuff for the new addition.
Bank Holiday Monday 6th May 2013
Got Phil up at 4am, came down to the Dog and let her out. She did a wee on the mat so praised her ace-ness. Did a 7 mile bike ride then loads and load of gardening, interspersed with a trip to BMs to get more doggy stuff! Lots of playing with the pooch outside - she's ace!
Up at 4am to get Phil up, went down to see the pooch - she looked happy enough to doze on so left her to it. Got up at 6am. Took her outside where she did a wee and a poo, bless her. Took her back in sharpish as it was quite cool for a small pooch - 8 degrees. Anyway a second good night - she's not been any problem at all so far and is so like Pip in so many ways it's scary - she follows the sun when she's dozing, as soon as she's in shadow she shuffles along a bit. So sad, so joyful. Anyway, went a run in the evening and we fixed up a neighbour's birdbath everything coming together. She's her had her first jab too. She's also had a lot of visitors, some with shiny shoes!

Up at 4am to get Phil up. Finally got out of bed proper at 5:50, though. Let Lily out of her cage and then she followed me outside for a wee. A little gem she is. She's making me run late though - can't wait 'til we can take her out for walks. Be another three weeks I think.
When I left for work - this was her having a little nap. Into the office for 8.40 not too bad considering but no morning run or cycling done.
Got a bag full of vegetable peelings from the restaurant from work - I think there's probably enough for my 180L tumble composter - going to load it up tomorrow.
Could not be bothered to do exercise so I did gardening instead potting up some Nasturtiums and Some
Dwarf Sunflowers.

Got Phil up. Back to bed. Up at 5:45. Let the pooch out. Fed her early doors - she wolfed it down again - who does that sound like? Another morning with no exercise - there's just no time. Fixed the latch on the front gate which since Phil has put a spring on it is now opening on it's own (am sure the spring should be on the other side but Phil thinks not. Also fixed the latch on the back gate that Phil managed to break last night!
Into work for 8:25, shredded a bag full of cardboard which will be added to the chopped straw to vary the 'brown' two thirds that will be added to the one third vegetable waste in the composter tonight. Didn't manage to get the composter into position as I'd hoped am going to need to get some wood in to replace some breeze blocks that will hold one side of the composter up. Will get it done on Friday.

Up at 4am, woke the boy up. Back to bed and up at 5:45. Let Lily out she was grand. Worked on a photo-book of Pippin pictures, so sad. Dropped into Hollie's Belper group on way into work. 3lbs on - nothing to do with Slimming World, everything to do with JD and coke. Weekend off the juice is in order I think.
Saturday 11th May 2013
Up at 4am to get Phi up, back to bed, up at 6am. Let Lily out and fed her. Watered everything. Fetched papers on the bike. Went up to Picnic Basket for breakfast for Phil, Lucay and me - very nice. Golf at 12:18 - rained like hell so only did nine holes - shot 43 for the nine holes though with some horrendous golf at the start - didn't really hit a good iron until the 7th but parred that one, the eighth and the ninth to get the score to something like respectable.
