And so the countdown begins - fetching Phil back from Heathrow on Friday. Plan in place - up at 4am, dog walk, 4:30 set off for a McDs on Bath Road ten mins from Heathrow. Watch him come in on flight monitor and then set off for Terminal three. Anyway, back to today, got up at 5.35am - got ready and then scraped the car (-1 Celsius when set off) got papers and walked the pooch. Got back - had a bath as the shower room still not 100% dry - think it will be dry tonight. Think I'm going to need to get the skirting done though for the sake of completeness. Funny day at work - couldn't quite get what I wanted out of Access but will get there - I have a plan. After work did another rehearsal - finding out a feet a bit still but we'll get there! After rehearsal got home for about 7:30, a naughty chippie tea but such is life when you is late. Took pooch a walk. Then painted skirting in shower room. Quite pleased with all that, tomorrow night will need to get door frame done and then we're just about done. An episode of West Wing before bed time. Bed a few mins before 11 o'clock.

Up at 5:40. Dog walked and paper fetched by 6:30. Got all the masking and other decorating debris out of the bathroom. Got one little bit more to do tonight then 99.21% of painting before Xmas is done. Into the office for 8.25 all good. Funny day in the office, all manner of hassle with Access but some good brand protection work done (I like to think). Rehearsal after work - coming along nicely. Back home for 8.45. Missus told me to have a night off - so I did. Two episodes of West Wing and in bed by 10:40. Marvellous.

Group after work 3lbs lost somehow. Not complaining. Got home. Had tea. Took Dog a walk, watched two possibly three more episodes of West Wing. Marvellous.

Friday 28th November 2014 - Return of the Firstborn
Woke up with the alarm at 4am. Had put coffee and what have you ready the night before. Got dressed, took dog a quick walk. Set off for Heathrow at 4.20. Down A515, A50, M1, (got off at junction 15a and went cross country to get to M40, M25 and then headed for a McDonalds on Bath Road a few miles from Heathrow. Had a big breakfast and waited until about 8:40 before setting off for Heathrow, got parked up, waited a bit collected the cowboy.
Anyway, got the lad, paid £6 for an hours parking and set off. Stopped at Beaconsfield Services and got him some Gregg's sausage rolls which he was happy with. Got home for a bit after 1pm all good stuff but was seriously knackered.
Saturday 29th November 2014
Up early. Dog walked, papers fetched. Piccy B all round - JAS and Lucy off to football. Painted the door frame for the downstairs loo so painting all but done. Golf at 1:15. Did just nine holes and had to pay the pound out to John! Hit the ball fairly well but no touch with the putter at the moment costing me dear. All good stuff. Back home more dog walks and West Wing.
Sunday 30th November 2014
Got the shower room dried out by having windows open all the time and a nice day meant I could put some bathroom paint on the ceiling above the shower area that hadn't worked the first time (I think we went back in too soon and used shower before it was totally dry). So painted that. Took Dog four good walks during the day so she was proper knackered by the end of it. Top tea over at me mum and dads, back home for 8pm. Another dog walk. West Wing and bed by 10pm.
