Up before 5am, mini dog walk and into the office for 6am. Have to get everything done early as am going to my cousin's memorial services today. Lomas Distribution have put stickers on their lorries which is a lovely gesture. So very sad, Brian was pretty much same age as me.

Well am glad that yesterday was done. So sad. Got home after the do after panicing that I'd lost my phone 'found' it in the car. Took dog walk. Had a drink in memory of Brian and went to bed early only for the boss of the world to put all the lights out at 10pm and a candle in the window for an hour. So couldn't go to sleep in case the house burned down. Such is life. Woke up at 5.30, took dog walk, fetched papers, got home, watered everything went to work. Good day at work - got loads done which occupied my mind nicely! Home for 6.30ish, tea, dog walk then did bog-all basically. Need to snap out of this and get going again.

Up eary / 5.40ish. Dog walked about a mile and back home for 6.40 ish. Brekko and then off to work. Lots done, group after work 1.5lbs off so an unexpected result. Tea. Dog Walk. Down lotty to pull all the spuds up and prepare ground for another experiment.
Some had got canker on em and a lot of em had green on em so they had to be chucked - must put em down deeper next year and leave more space around them. A bit more 'self-medication' then bed.

Woke about 4am, got up a bit after 5am. Dog walked. Brekko. Down lotty to fasten net down properly on the peas that the missus had left up. Also took the brassicas that are going where the spuds were (as an experiment). So they're waiting to be planted. Have got some lettuces to go in too.

Up early, the usual. Got everything planted and netted up. Appointment to have ears irrigated. Didn't seem an awful lot better, never mind. Into the office then hospital appointment to have diabetic retinopathy - for te fifth time in a row everything is fine. Back to lotty to finish off. Back home getting stuff ready for holiday tomorrow.

Off to Wales for jollies.
Dog loaded, family loaded, all set to go. Up top of Derby hill to pick up Lucy’s friend
Grace, where is she? Down at ours!
Miscommunication rules! Anyway
traffic queuing three miles out of Knutsford – need to find best diversion if
should ever go that way again! 5.5 hours later we got to Church Bay. Our Andrew was packing up to leave so gave
him Birthday cards and cake and he was off.
Lots of dog walks. Fished an hour
and a half for one dog fish.
Sunday 10th August 2014
Up at the crack of dawn, dog wouldn’t settle down in big
cottage so walking her about 6am. V.
Tired. Went out on Ray laad’s boat for
a bit of a fish, not for long as Ray got seasick! Got a good picture of him though in his
captain’s hat! Anyway we landed the boat
at the top of the tide in a big swell like seasoned pros so that was good –
always best to impress an audience I think.
Dragged the boat back up to the campsite.

| A proper fishing hat! |
In the afternoon Hurricane Bertha’s fallout hit us and blew
a hoolie through. A lot of tents
departing at pace in the afternoon! Not us
though, we got bricks and mortar this time.
Missus went shopping with the girls in the afternoon, I took dog a walk
then had a bit of a read. No fishing tonight as sea was just a bit too rough!
16/1.5
