Monday 3rd October 2016 
Up early - t'is first frost of autumn, winter is coming!



Dog walked, papers fetched.  Into work in good time.

25th anniversary of joining the company - instead of a watch I got some drum microphones - I've got a secret plan I'm working on dontcha know!!

Got home had to take some pictures for Lucy's art projects - bumped into Sam Harrison who was Sam Greatorex when I was at school in the 80's - turns out she's lived a stone's throw away from our house for 15 years and knows the missus - as usual I'm the last to know!!!


Tuesday 4th October 2016
Up early, no frost, good.  Dog walked papers etc.etc.

Gave Lucy a lift into school early as they had an early start.

Got home from work and got everything mowed before it got dark - green bin day on Thursday.   Well pleased with that.


Wednesday 5th October 2016
Up early pooch walked, Papers fetched.  Good day in the office.  Bit of drum practice up in the attic.


Thursday 6th October 2016
Work early.  Got home 6.15 took el pooch out as was getting dark.  Missus going to flicks so watched a load of telly!!!  Oh yes.  Westworld and some rubbish with Elves in it.


Friday 7th October 2016
Up early.  Dog walked in the drizzle. Took Lucy to School again as she had a big art folder with her.
Nipped to Wilko at lunchtime got two bags of seed and cutting compost for a shiny pound and also got some onions for planting.

Got home in good time.  Watched even more telly - Bridge of Spies - excellent and Grandma which was less so but not bad all the same.

Saturday 8th October 2016
Up early, dog walked, papers fetched.  Off to Derby to get bait for fishing!   Got mackerel, squid (dear stuff) mussels and prawns.

Did a bit at the lotty - got me garlic and onions into that bed I set up last week.   Still a bit of space to put a few more in so I might do that next weekend - we'll see!

Onions going in with help of a bit of plastic fence netting for spacing - small dog keeping guard in background. 

Reasonable haul for October

At 2.45 set off for Skeg Vegas - took ages to get there as first postcode me brother gave me took me into Skeg and the mark was a bit north of Chapel St Leaonard.

The mark - correct postcode PE25 5XJ !!! don't get the X and the J the wrong way round!!!


Went past a caravan site we had a holiday at when I was about 5 years old so nice to see it was still there.

Turn off for Robin Hood now called Golden Palm Resort but old sign still there!!!

Got to the car park of the mark at about 6pm just after it had rained on Andrew and his mate, Carl.   Anyway onto the fishing which can be summarised as - spent a fortune on bait, travelled 250 miles caught nowt!!   Proper full on mad.   Carl did manage a single flatfish but it was probably just a bit too rough.



Saw a beautiful owl on the way home so something good from it.  Also know where to get cheap frozen bait that will do at a push - prawns from Aldi, Mackerel fillets from Iceland and local if you can get it should be the mantra!  Bed at about 3am

Sunday 9th October 2016
Up at 7am.  Dog walked, then off to Car Boot at Bakewell.  Got a non-slip mat for a tenner that should be about perfect for putting a drum kit.   At about 12 noon we set off for football at Cavendish Fields.  I got roped in to being linesman again - one day I might even do a half decent job of it - who knows?

Running the line at Matlock vs Ashbourne ladies match

After footie went ovet to me mum and dad's for tea which was very nice indeed.  Did a bit more conservatory windows cleaning and did the solar panels too - me dad has got a top gadget sort of an extendable broom thing that has water running through it - must borrow it to do mine.  Ever so slightly fell asleep after tea and went home with Phil nodding off a bit until he hit his air-horns (the miserable so and so and so).   Took pooch for a walk about 8.15pm and then off to bed.   V. Tired
