Bed early last night and up reasonably late. Good stuff. Took dog up town and got papers. Solar day today and the guys from The Renewable Shop arrived a bit before 9am. Getting on for ten of them arrived as they'd got two jobs in the area so it was scaffolding up and then five of them went to the other job. Nice bunch of lads though. Lots of dog walks. Lots of work done. Tax return all but finished. Bit of lotty planning. Dentist at 1.45 for a filling, yikes I hate fillings. All good stuff. Went and got a load of seed potatoes for the lotty.

Up early, dog walked, papers fetched, son woken and sent packing. 5 mile run (slowest ever). Back home and waiting for the sun people to arrive.

The people that have installed it are called The Renewable Shop who funnily enough are now located just down the road from my mum and dad. Really nice people to work with, good price and know their stuff. Highly recommended.
Took little dog to dog training lessons. She doesn't seem to be picking up the commands as well as the others BUT she is the best-behaved out of the three dogs on the course. I'm sure she'll catch up. We touched on recall tonight and the importance of when the dog comes to you part of the recall is that you take hold of her collar so that she knows it's to get control. Must also remember that you only shout "come" once. The trainer Amanda recommends using a long lead and if the dog doesn't come pull her in and still reward her. We'll see. Also to start using clicker for clicker training. Think Lily was a bit tired yesterday as she slept all the way home so will use that in her defence!

Up early as usual. Woke Phil up, went up town and got papers, walked the dog. Over to Darley Dale to pick my wallet up which left on Sunday. Took 50 odd minutes due to fog and being stuck behind some arse in a tracter. Got to work for 8.30 still so didn't do too bad. Missus has rung up and says the solar meter is flashing so we're in generation mode! Reading at the end of the day was 2.114 or something similiar - not sure whether that means it's made 2 kilowatt hours-worth - I'll keep an eye on it and see what happens! Had a bit of a tidy up in the loft as well - have a cunning plan for flooring.
Forgot to mention went to group after work, 4lb off after the 2.5lb gain last week. Very disappointed I was last week. So 9lb gone in January so far but much work to be done.

Up at 4am to get Phil off to work. Back to bed. Up at 5:50, dog walked, papers fetched into work for 8:30. Everything running on rails.
Friday 24th January 2014
Up early. Dog walked, papers fetched then into the office for 7.30ish. Leaving at noon as I've got an EPC being done and Tom Mastin from The Renewable Shop coming to do the solar handover. Phil went out with his mates for a change which meant I ended up stopping up late waiting for the bugger to come home. At 1am I went to bed. The silver lining is that I got a ton of work on a data extraction project done and came up with a cunning solution to a problem.
Saturday 25th January 2014
Dragged myself out of bed at 7.20, knackered but dogs need their walkies first thing, so the usual walk and papers done. Was amazed to see people in the Costa Coffee at 7.30 and that the Co-op is open from 7.30. Written a load of old-style basic code this morning to move my data extraction project along. All done now. Ran a short 3 miler in the rain. Awful weather to finish the day and no golf for the second week running. Good day for the solar system prior to the crappy stuff though:
Sunday 26th January 2014
Knackered, didn't get up til 7am. Really crappy weather all day. Took dog walks in between the showers, also got a 3 mile run in early doors. Should have been a big run but not going to go further in this crappy weather. Did some more work up in the attic, just a tiny strip of 9" down the length of the roof left to finish off. Won't be long now.
16/6.5
