Up at 5.25am. Dog walked, papers fetched. Into office at 7.50am. Funny day to say the least. Nipped up town at lunchtime got some mugs for missus and crisps for the boy. Back home for 6.15pm. Tea. Dog Walk. Watched loads of Moone Boy - very good indeed. Dog walk before bed time. Nothing else to report

Up at 5.25am - no alarm clock. Dog walked, papers fetched etc. Into office for just gone 8am. Much better day today managed to not upset anyone! Bonus. Got my online auction data extraction system sorted after the lowlifes changed their layout again. Good stuff. Home for about 6:30. Horrific news about the Jordan pilot, hope the murderers get what they deserve and then some. Didn't get much done - took pooch for two walks, watched Count Arthur Strong. Class. Tired as hell tomorrow no doubt.

Got up at 2.15am to check Phil back from milking. He won't listen to ancient Siddall wisdom - "Anyone can work for nothing and take their own lunch". If Grandad Siddall were still alive he could add "and then dump their laundry for their mum" to it, but the sentiment's the same. Anyway, got up proper at 5:30 as usual (no alarm clock), dog walked, papers fetched, into the office for 8:30. We've got Phil's mate coming at Shrovetide so I've ordered one of those folding camp beds that I've read good things about - we'll see! Hollie's group after work to see how weigh worked and whether an error appeared or not. Weighed in at 2.5lbs up back to post Xmas weight - booze stopping right now. Back home for about 6.45pm. Tea. Dog walk.

The day the human alarm clock failed again - didn't get up until 5:56 was awake briefly about 4am but that was way too early. Dog walked, papers fetched. In the office for 8.20am so not all bad.

Human alarm clock back on song! Dog walked papers fetched. All good stuff. Home for a bit after 6pm.

Up early. Dog walked, papersfetched. Piccy B breakfast as usual. Alvaston Park for football. Lucy's team scraped a 4-3 victory over Belper. Got a bit exciting towards the end. I took the opportunity to see how far a walk it would be to iPro stadium (or Pride Park as it is in my head). Not far at all is the answer which would come in handy later! Dropped Janette and Lucy off at Pride Park at about 1.15 - was amazed at how many folks were turning up for the match that early. I took pooch home and did a bit of digging on the greenhouse base. Then as I couldn't get into the shed to get hold of a spirit level I took the pooch for a walk. As Derby were 3-0 up shortly after half time I though the missus might want to come out of the match a bit early but as she wasn't sitting with Lucy she said she'd leave it until full time. So I parked at Alvason Park for the second time that day and walked with Lily to meet them outside the ground. Made a big mistake on the way back in not continuing along the A6/London Road I think and we had a few minutes of standstill on the way back but we back in Ashbourne for 6.15.

Up early. Wellies on, walk with the pooch -very, very frosty which was to slow everything down in terms of getting the base done for the greenhouse.

Carried on with it till it got dark - fetched wheelbarrow from allotment and got all the soil redistributed and all the sand into the frame although we only got the first four slabs down - twelve to go.
Pooch made me laugh - Phil had a nap on sofa and left all the cushions piled up at one end so wee hound took advantage and climbed onto the cushion throne - proper swab dog!
