Up early. Dog walk. Papers. Brek. Work at 8am. Another funny day. Home for 6:15pm. Tea. Emergency planning meeting at Ashbourne Town Hall. Well attended by the general public. The council has a plan for contacting Derbyshire County Council to get assurances that they will neither sell nor lease the land to Derbyshire Dales District Council. They are also going to ask Derbyshire Dales District Council for clarification on a number of points such their Corporate Director of Housing citing a report that is not in the public domain and dismissing a report that is in the public domain as being irrelevant (it's nothing of the sort, merely inconvenient for their agenda). After doing my bit for democracy I went to the lotty for a bit of a potter - I got the onions/leeks covered with nets to stop the damn pigeons pulling em out. As it had rained a fair bit there was no need to do any watering (which was nice!). Watched England ladies football team beat the Belgians 2-1, coming from a goal behind. Great result - bed at midnight!!!

Up at 5:20. Dog walked, papers fetched. Into office for 8am, on third coffee by 8:30 (including one at home!). Another day of fun and games in the office. Home for 6.30, tea, dog walk, down lotty to finish painting new shed and do a few other jobs I'd been meaning to do - put a net over onions to stop the darned pigeons pulling em up all the time, got slug pellets spread everywhere. Brought some strawbobs back for the missus. Watched first episode of new series of True Detective - looks like it will be really good but the first series was something very special so a tough one to follow.

Up at 5:30. Dog walked, papers fetched. Dropped a couple of posts off at the lotty that I forgot to carry up previous night. Still got into the office before 8am. Another testing day at the office. Got home a bit earlier after visiting a group on way home. Took some of the shelving out of the greenhouse to make space for every expanding tomatoes. Need to find somewhere better to put them. Went to lotty on bike a bit later than normal. Did a load of weeding first, then watered everything - forgot key to shed 7 so that put the mockers on digging the rabbit proofing fence round shed 7! Never mind. Dog walks and a late bedtime.

Up at 5.40. Dog walked and the usual. Work for 8am, All good stuff. Going to see "And this my friend, Mr Laurel" tonight - a one man show by Jeffrey Holland. Am quite up for it which is unusual as plays aren't usually my thing! Got back from work about 6ish. Dog walked and up Ashbourne by 7.10pm. Play started 7.30 and was really good. It's a one-scene monologue - Jeffrey Holland (perhaps best known as Spike from Hi-De-Hi) plays Stan Laurel visiting a bed-bound Oliver Hardy and reminiscing during which you learn tons of stuff you never knew about the pair. In between conversing with his silent partner there are mini-sketches where Mr Holland plays the parts of both Stan and Olly, he got a round of applause after each of those and they were all well-deserved. The actual play last an hour which positively flys by, after a short break, Mr Holland comes out for a Q&A so you learn even more. We really enjoyed it.
