Up early. Intended to get up and go running straight away but dog whining soon changed my plans. Took dog a bit of a walk. Janette got up so went for a run a bit later. Did 5.81 miles very slowly but never mind it wasn't a race. Went to Bakewell Showground car boot met up with some folks from Anglesey. Bacon and sausage cob at the little cafe in the Agricultural centre - bit dear but never mind. Bought a fork from the car boot for t'allotment. When we got home I did perhaps an hour in the allotment. Pulled up most of the brassicas that had gone to seed. Picked more raspberries. Took all the cak to the recycling centre and also took old bbq so we now have just the one gas-powered BBQ! Over to mum and dad's for tea, very nice - didn't have a drink again!! One week and counting - amazing what seeing a photo of yourself can change!
We had film night when we got back - watched The Campaign with Will Ferrell - terrible it was. N'er mind - bed at 9:30

Got up at 4am to get Phil up. Got up proper at 6:15 - took dog up town and fetched papers. Got back home loaded car up and off to Belper for a Cycle2Work - bloomin cold all things considered. No other biked in the bike shelter first thing - straight into shower with no queue! Yay. Cycled back from work - bloomin Garmin playing up - I've not downloaded the ride yet but I reckon it's not worked. Took little dog for a walk late on. Soon going dark now.

Had to get to Emma Matthews' group with some kit early doors so in office before 8am. Had taken dog for a good walk round town while picking papers up.
Opened the box to find out I'd got the wrong kit! Such is life. Whizzed back to the office picked up the right bit of kit then back down to Emma's. Showed social team how to use it, stopped through pay before setting off back to the office. All good stuff. Got home. Did tea for Lucy and myself. Bosskat got back from covering at Clifton School went down to allotment. Got some raspberries move the raspberry plant that was right in the middle of one of the beds. So the bottom of the plot next to where the brassicas were is now totally clear. The raspberry bush is now in a big tub - will go and have a look at it tomorrow perhaps see if it's alright. Have set up a blog to keep progress on the Allotment - http://afirstallotment.blogspot.co.uk/
Took Lily a walk a mile or so. http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/250073493/7469884
Went to bed early. Still no alcohol!

Up at 4am to get Phil up. Got up proper at 6.25am - took pooch up town to get papers - http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/250205755/7469884 Had a good walk round town with her. Back home for 7:05, brekko, shower and off to work (in that order), in the office for 8.25am. Went to visit Tanya Tuck's lovely group at Big Barn Methodist Church. Very good, back home for 6:45. Took Dog a little walk and that was about it.

Up at 4am to get Phil up. Very tired. Got up proper at 6:05 - went a walk with the hound up town and got papers. Dropped Lucy off at school as she's going on a trip, bless her. Got to work for 8.55 as a consequence! Got a phone call from Janette at noon to say I'm in the London Marathon so proper training is about to begin I reckon.
Went to Janine Hulme's group in Rocester, stayed the same but never mind - not done much to deserve it except not have a drink for 10 days. Anyway, thought I'd have a couple last night to celebrate(!) getting into London 2014. Took little dog a walk as well when got back from Rocester.

Same routine of getting up at crack of dawn to get Phil up. Then up at 5:30 making bread for Macmillan Cancer Care Coffee Morning. All of it sold straight away when got to work - hope it's edible. Have booked a weekend in London for the missus' Birthday. Hope mum and dad can have Lucy will see them on Sunday morning after the BUPA Great Yorkshire Run.

Up at crack of dawn to get the boy up. Back to bed, dog whining at 6am, papers fetched by 7am. Down allotment by 8am, ten barrow loads of grade A manure shifted to plot. Tub of raspberries picked - they just keep coming. Netting taken down, 3 courgettes picked, celery pulled up too. Put three strawberry plants into the top bit that's sheltered a bit.
Golf at lunchtime - played reasonably well - particularly pleased with 11th hole - stroke index 3 - hit three-wood off the tee then three-wood to the green on a hole that was originally classed as a par five. Damn fine shots. Also parred a number of holes going round so was pleased overall but the speed of the round was diabolical so we came off after the fourteenth hole which was a bit of a shame. Never mind.
