Monday 10th October 2016 to Sunday 16th October 2016

Monday 10th October 2016
Up at 5.20am before alarm went off which had set as a precaution in case natural alarm didn't work after having only four hours sleep Sunday morning.   Papers fetched, back home for 6.10am, got Lucy up.  Into office for 7.45 and back to business.  Back home about 6pm which wasn't bad.  Tea and Dog walk.  Got stuff ready for biking to work Tuesday!  Watched Hooten and the Lady and a film called Continuum as well practicing paradiddle diddles (try saying that when you're drunk).

Up at 5.20am.  Dog walked and got daft Lucy up at 6.10am.  Cripes.  Cycled into work 10 miles - have got to about 12 on Thursday I think so thought I'd better have a bit of a practice.  Cycled back in about 48 minutes which is okay - need that sort of pace for fifteen miles on Thursday morning - will have to see how that goes!!!  Watched some tat called "Seventh Son" on Now TV - crikey that's a film for Tammy Constance if ever there was one.

Up at 5:30, dog walked paper fetched. Cleaned car out and went to work - car swap day.  Car swapped.  Back home for 6pm.  Tea then went to footie practice with Lucy and Boss Kat.   Watched Westworld when got home - top programme that is.  Bed before 10pm as just a bit tired, leccy blanket on - luxury!!

Thursday 13th October 2016
Up at 5.20.  dog walked, paper fetched.   Took missus' car to Pentagon Vauxhall in Derby then cycled rest of way to Alfreton - 15.72 miles in total,



 Got to work for about 9.15am, shower then interview at 9:30.  Bish bosh.   Should be easier on way back I'm hoping.   Well, it was way easier going home thought it felt more uphill in the morning than in the evening and so it proved to be the case,

1hr 26minutes in the morning 1hr 12minutes going home so all good stuff I reckon.


Watched a bit of telly in the evening but god what I tired.   Bed about 10pm can't remember head hitting pillow!

Friday 14th October 2016
Overlaid!  Up at 6am.  Dog walked.  Into office for a bit after 8am - all good stuff.

Saturday 15th October 2016
Up first thing, dog walked, papers fetched.  Off to Swadlincote to fetch 3 Hard Case drum cases which I got off eBay for £50 - an absolute bargain.  The bloke I bought them off is the drummer for a Kate Bush Tribute band called Red Shoes and he buys and sells drums - his workshop is like an Aladdin's cave of drums.   Excellent.  Got back and started tidying garden up a bit - pulled all the sunflowers up, got rid of some of the tomatoes.   Then we lopped the lilac tree with me dad's tree lopping tool which worked an absolute treat but my arms are really aching now!   Got all the mowing done so the green bin is all nice and full for Thursday!  No golf but went to a do in that Derby in the evening.  A little bit tipsy by time the night was through.

Sunday 16th October 2016
Played a round at Brailsford with Darren who we know from Wales.  Quite enjoyed it - greens are much better than I remember and the three new holes make it a good two hours worth of golf for just £14.

One of the new holes - a par three over water

This one is the new par 3 fourth hole - like the trees lining the approach

The last hole (12th) - it had stopped raining for about ten minutes at this point!
At 11:45 it was off to Ilkeston for Lucy's football which saw an improved performance but another defeat - only a matter of time.
