Up early. Dog walked, papers fetched, off to the office nice and early. Loads done. Left work at 5.15. Got to allotment in time to unload weeds from a trug and the barrow into two more bags I'd got from home and then get the whole lot covered up ahead of the anticipated rain. Visited osteopath at Selton at lunchtime. Found out have got osteo-arthritis in my right knee which explains the pain I've been having since last September - ought to have had it looked out earlier. At least I can retire from running with a proper excuse so there's a silver lining, I suppose. Had some manipulation and laser treatment on it.

Up early. Dog walked, papers fetched. Bit of breakfast. Car loaded up, cycled in from Belper - felt like every traffic light was on red, what a pain in the backside they are. Any way actual cycle time was 53 minutes which is a bit quicker than the other week and starting to get something like. Reported a stray alsation to Amber Valley dog warden but someone had got in there first so that was good! Cycled back nice and steady - again, seem to be hitting all the lights on red - very odd.

Up early, dog walked, papers fetched, into the office 8:30. Group after work. Was going to go for a run this morning but couldn't find knee support so will leave that until tonight. Good day at work with just three meetings. Went to group after work - just a pound lost - could do with more than that, really. After tea I took dog out then put together a new mini greenhouse. In bed for 10am

Got up at 4.20 to make sure Phil got to work, back to bed then up at 5.50. Dog walked, papers fetched, still a bit of time so have moved the sweet peas out of the cold frame and into the new greenhouse, move the coldframe and put the patio furniture back where the cold frame was. All ticking over nicely. Into work for 8.20, clothes in gym ready for next cycle2work.

Started taking Glucosamine Sulphate again on advice from the osteopath. I also got some glucosamine gel yesterday so gave that a go after a three mile run - ran about 11 minute miles which is probably as good as I'll get these days. Got papers and took the pooch out first, Phil was on a normal so he went about 6.30 looking forward to muck spreading (crazy fool). Into the office on time and got a parking space at 8:50 which I think is rather good.

4am Phil's alarm on his phone goes off - downstairs - great. Back to bed, up around 6am as can't get back to sleep proper. Dog walked papers fetched. Potting tomato plug plants, sweet peas , general sorting out. More stuff gone into heated propogator - couple of pumpkins gone into an unheated propogator - rest will follow if they get going. Allotment - shifted five bags of weed and banged some lime down for the brassicas, Golf at lunchtime - very average but a couple of birdies on 6th and 8th was nice, odd par here and there too so not bad considering how little I've played of late.

Up at 5am. Dog walked. Going to go running - it's hailing and chucking it down, great. Finally got off at 6.45, very slow affair, knee is a bit on the knackered side it's fair to say 20.58 miles in 4hrs 41m - very slow. Can't be helped.

| Looking back at massive scaffolding project held down with IBC tanks on Darfield Lane coming out of Tissington |
 |
| Looking over to Bradbourne - wind turbines in distance |

| Bradbourne Mill Ford - saw a BMW come through this which was a bit mad at this time of year. |

| Geese in field near offcote - seen a lot of geese of late? |
