Woke up early but as it's a bank holiday I didn't bother getting out of bed until 7am. Fetched papers with the pooch in the rain. Been chucking it down from small hours. Doing a few jobs on the laptop this morning. Saw this chap on Vintage TV a few weeks ago called Jon Allen, bizarrely he is doing a date at Alstonefield Village Hall so I might just have to go to that one - we'll see. Did a bit on the lotty in the rain - put a shelf up in Shed 7, moved the door latch to accommodate the big water barrels. Weeded some of 13 and banged some lime down for the brassicas that will be going in shortly. Took missus to John Pye Auctions in the afternoon to look at lots. We'll probably end up paying over the odds on some tat but such is life. As Phil was doing his Citizen Siddall thing and boss kat was out and about I had to cycle down to the Farm and do the chickens for Phil's godparents. Absoluetely drenched but such is life - got half a dozen eggs! Bed late waiting for the citizen.
Tuesday 1st September 2015
Hell's teeth it's September. Wierdly August's solar generation was only 4% down on 1st year estimate for August so not a bad result considering how grey and miserable it seemed to be. Up at 5.45. Dog walked, papers fetched, into the office for 8am. On rails. Good day - solving a problem but possibly uncovering new ones! Tea about 7pm then down to the farm to do them hens - another half-dozen eggs.
Wednesday 2nd September 2015
Up 5.45am. Papers fetched dog walked, few little jobs in greenhouse and outside. Going into office a bit late as have got to go and collect something from Uttoxeter for the boss. Job done and into the office a bit before 11am. Worked til 6:30 on some interesting stuff. Home for a bit after 7pm. Hens done, dog walked. Bed for about 10.30
Thursday 3rd September 2015
Up a bit before 6am. Dog walked, papers fetched, greenhouse watered. Dropped two old garden furniture chairs off at the allotment. Into the office for 8.20am. Another mega busy one. Back home for 6pm. Picking up slabs near Tean for the allotment with Phil and his tractor by 6.30. Back home again by 7:30, tea then down to do the hens took Lucy so she could get some eggs, trouble is by 8 o'clock it was dark and the hens retreat to their perches. Bed by 10pm back will hurt tomorrow and no mistake.

Woke at 5am thanks to Phil's alarm. Didn't get up til 5:50am though. Dog walked, papers fetched, greenhouse done, into office for 8.20 after getting some bits for a birthday fuddle at the office. n way home I followed a motorbike with pillion passenger and a single wheel trailer attached - have never seen anything quite like it - very Heath Robinson affair.
Saturday 6th September 2015
Up early, dog walk, papers, piccy B at 8.20!! Did a few greenhouse jobs. Worked on a network install for later in the year - bought 4 access points and a router for under a tenner! Ace. Anyway, that took a while to get going but it will work I think. Did a bit of web work. Down lotty with missus - pulling up me spuds and stuff. O
Sunday 7th September 2015
Up early again. Dog walked, bit of brekko. Down the lotty for 8.15am. Did loads - pulling spuds, garlic, fennel then left about 12.15ish for sausage and bacon cob. Fun and games with tractors in the afternoon giving Phil a hand - nice when you rise to the level of last resort to give someone a tow! Over to me mum and dad's very late for tea. Dog got a little walk up Whitworth Road, Red Arrows flew over twice (they really didn't have to do that).
