Up early. Took dog walk. Did 6.5 mile run - very slow but it wasn't race so who cares!
Few jobs in garden. Mum and dad came over. Took em over to see the allotment. Well impressed they were. Took the beanpoles down as they want covering up over Winter. Did a bit of weeding where the bean poles were which couldn't get to before. All good stuff. Got back home and with a few hours to spare til setting off for Ellie Goulding Wolverhampton gig so mowed lawns and outside for hopefully the last time in 2013 - it's October for heaven's sake!
We set off for Wolverhampton about 5pm which was a bit too early in some ways but good that we were parked on bottom level of Civic Centre car park. We walked into town a bit and had a coffee at the KFC. Walked back about 6:45 queued for yonks - the trick with Civic Hall is to walk to the entrances on the right hand side not the ones on the left. Once we got there we were soon in. Seats were pretty good - left balcony, front row A113 - A115. Good view but not much leg room. The support bands were Chasing Grace and Lulu James - both very good. In fact, all three had really good bands, the standard is very high these days.

| Did a very good solo Guns and Horses with just an acoustic guitar from accompaniment - pretty good guitarist too. |

Up at 4am - got the lad up. Back to bed and then up at 6am. Took pooch up town to get papers. Off to work - interesting day. Left about 5.10 stopped at the lotty on the way home and did a bit - all good stuff.
Took dog a walk. Watched half of a movie with Lucy - need to fast forward to 1hr 11mins to watch last forty minutes today.

Up at 4am got the lad up. Back to bed then up at 6am. Papers with pooch. Have taken the decision to have breakfast at work for a few days so I give the dog less titbits so was in the office for just after 8am.
Brief stop at the lotty on way home - dug out the brassicas bit - think this bit and the bit where the courgettes are currently sitting will the be non-manured bit of the garden reserved for root crops next year. When got home had tea, walked dog. Regripped my driver in readiness for Saturday - it goes well but the grip was a bit slippy it must be said.

Up at 4am - same drill as the rest of the week! Took lil dog up town. Then thought I'd do a run so 3.2 miles at 10min/mile pace for a change.
Group visit at 9am. Lost a pound which is not what I'd expected. Need to be getting back into the running habit and then things will get easier again. Knee is not hurting after 3 miles which is good news. See where we are after the big run on Sunday!
Saturday 12th October 2013
Got Phil up at 4am. Got up at 6:30 to take Lily out, bless her! Pottering about clearing the metre square gardens gradually. Went up to golf but it was cancelled so went a six mile run. A bit slow as my knee locked up after Mappleton (3.5 miles in) so some stretches and was able to finish - am not going to worry about it just keep on running as Steve Perry would say!
16/5
