Up early. dog walked, papers fetched. Plants watered into the office for 8.30. Lots of work. So busy. Back home for about 6pm. Tea. Dog walked. Pottered about with a lot plants. Put some french beans in the propogator. Potted a load of normal broccoli. All going well I hope but conscious I need to get that damn fence done at the lotty. Watched QPR v Wigan to see who Derby would be facing. I thought QPR did look the better team but I'd rather we were facing Wigan! Never Derby should be able to beat QPR but it could be a "who's more up for it on the day" sort of a game, which would be a worry! Never mind, off to bed fairly early.

Woke at 4:30am but didn't get up until 5:50am. Dog walked, papers fetched. Beautiful morning - no rain!
Plants watered. Ready for work and off. Lots of good stuff got done including a solid three hour investigation and report on IP and FB. Got home for a bit after 6pm - got a bit of a rocket from the missus because she'd not got my texts to say Phil had passed his CDL theory tests and someone else knew before she did on the old facebook. Lovely. Anyway, after tea took Lily for a big walk up to Mount Pleasant Farm. When got back bosskat still not impressed so strimmed all the grass with the battery powered grass trimmer thing - it's not ultra powerful but I reckon it will get the job done if you give it a bit of extra time. Will be mowing tomorrow.

Woke up at 4am, stayed in bed til 5:50. Dog walked, papers fetched. Into the office for 8am. Good day in the office finished a big report off, lots of brand protection work done. Group after work - all in a rush didn't go to loo, didn't take watch off, wearing jeans, half a damn pound on. Not happy at all about that. Arse into gear time, now. Got home, Tea, Dog walked. Lawns mowed. The system of strim one night, mow the following night worked fine. Even did the back lawn in the time allowed.

Up at 5:50. Dog walked. Ready for work, into the office for 8am. Not a bad sort of day but went wrong towards the end. Anyway, it will get resolved. Home for 6.30 after picking up a laptop on the way home. Took Lily a big walk - we nearly got ambushed by a dog called Hollie but the beauty of having a dog that is Lily-sized is that you can just pick her up out of harm's way. It snapped at Lily though so once nearly-bitten, twice shy. If I see it again off it's lead I'll be having stern words with the owner.

| What can be better after work than a walk in the countryside? |
Did some stuff for Lucy with memory sticks and what have you. Called her outside as the trampoline seemed to be haunted with whopping great beetles - even the Lily dog was barking at 'em (it don't take much to set her off).

New tactic, got up at 5.40. Took dog, got papers. Saw a beetle on the pavement up town - I'll bet a pound to a penny it was one of these that were in our trampoline last night!

| Being an expert on beetles I can tell you that this either a summer chafer or more likelya cock chafer (ouch, I don't make the names up - that's what they be called). |
Got bike into car and rode into work. All good - seemed to take a long time this morning at 54m 24s but had to stop at pretty much every set of lights apart from a temporary set at Pentrich. Anyway it was good to get cracking again need to be doing this three times a week, really.

Up at the crack. Dog walked. Papers fetched. Bit of weeding in the Allotment then off to Elvaston Park for Lucy's football. All good stuff 1-1 draw and everyone's happy. Off to Costco to pick up a load of photos. Back home - chippy tea and FA cup then a load of work weeding at the lotty - this next week everything needs to be going in!
Sunday 18th May 2014
Up early. Dog walked more work down the lotty. Got row of peas in and got more weeding done, got mowed and strimmed on the solar power charged strimmer - all good stuff. Plans for the lotty are popping into my head as we go - it will be interesting to see how it all pans out. Over to mum and dad's in the afternoon for tea and a skype conversation with wee Phil in Texas. He was designated driver on Saturday night but still didn't get to bed until 2am. Hopefully he'll be in bed in good time tonight as he's got his CDL practical tomorrow. Me and Lucy cycled to the lotty to do some watering and get the wooden thing sorted out.
16/0 damn.
