Bit of door and radiator painting. Went up to car boot at Alstonefield but we were a bit too late really. Took missus and Phil to Stepping Stones - probably be the last time as there was quite a delay before getting any food and the boss don't like that. Gardening and slabs down. Few more drinkies. Dear of dear. Also put a new ring on my penn 13 foot sea rod - still need a new tip ring for it but at least I'm getting there!!!

Up at 4am - got Phil up. Up again at 6am - woke the dog, took her out, fed her. She wanted to go back to sleep so let her and took advantage of the time to paint the door again as it wasn't good enough!!! Off to work all good!!!
Got back from work did a six mile run - bit slow averaging 10:22 miles but that's due to the recent alcohol intake increase since we lost Pip three months ago!!!

Got Phil up at 4am. Got up proper at 6am. Let dog out, fed her. Put a coat of varnish on the beachcaster repair. Got to Belper. Got the new bike out. Rode to Work - took four minutes off last week's time and that included stopping at lights in Belper, Ambergate, Sawmills and the Excavator Turn so not unhappy with that. It's geared quite a bit higher so the climb up to Pentrich felt a lot harder but that will get easier if I can get fitter (and I need to by August!!).
Averaged 12.1 mph with all those stops (also pulled over outside of Belper to check had my wallet!) and at the top of Swanick to take me coat off - well hot I was!!
Road back and the weather turned on me - rained pretty much all the way home. Got to Belper in about 45 minutes so not end of the world I suppose, pesky rain.

Got Phil up at 5am - he's off to some agricultural show at the NEC will no doubt come back with loads of free samples of bailing twine. Got Dog up at 5.45 and fed her - she only had half her food which was unusual but bosskat wormed her the day before so perhaps that's what caused it.

Not much to report - work work work - big pilot gone live this morning!
Friday 5th July 2013
Up early, watering everything that even marginally green before off to the big blue shiny thing! So an interesting day to say the least. Went to work early to get some work done on a new project - got away a bit after ten am. Went home, got car loaded up set off for Wales. Phone call at 11.30 to say brother's car engine blown so nipped back to pick up a bbq and some bits and pieces. 12.30 set off again. Got to the island got a hand from Vic to get the tent up. Got settled in. Got some bait dug. Had a beer. Went fishing - caught nowt.
Saturday 6th July 2013
Up with the lark as usual. Ran about 6 miles in 1hr 10 - will have to map it out. Not great running with a hangover but it certainly clears your head. Then had some breakfast and drove into Holyhead Breakwater park to climb the Holyhead Mountain. Took well under an hour and the views were brilliant.

| South Stack Lighthouse from up on high! |

| At the summit there's one of those trigpoints but this on tells you what you can see in the distance.
Dug some bait in the afternoon. BBQ for tea then down onto the cafe beach for fishing. 3 dogfish between us but nice to be out.
