Back to work. It's CycletoWork day on Wednesday so sent a reminder out about that one. The forecast is for gales Wednesday morning so that should make it interesting but given recent accuracy of weather forecasts I might just take that with a pinch of salt. Home for about 5.10pm so that was good. Got kayaks fastened down a bit more solidly and also put a load of camping stuff up into the attic out of the way. There must be some more bits and pieces to put away somewhere though I'm sure of that.

Getting up earlier and earlier it would seem. Most odd. Dog walked and papers fetched, brought some stuff to work ready for Cycle2Work day tomorrow. Forgot a few things but that happens. Got home a bit early as had to take dog to vets. She put one of those drops on her and charged £28 for the privilege. Such is life I suppose. Dropped missus off at home and went to pick Lucy up from School. Had tea then got bikes sorted - pumped up tyres on the Boardman Urban Mountain Bike and the Giant FCR1 - decided on the FCR1 - cracking bike. Went out for a spin and realised how out of shape I am! Dog walk and then watched Upstart Crow which doth try too had in my opinion.
Wednesday 13th September 2017 - Cycle2Work Day
Bottled it a bit - had discussions with the missus about cycling in 50mph winds and the decision was to go from Ligentia instead - so 2 miles instead of 20 miles. That said I've done about five miles more on the bike than I have for the rest of the year - need to be getting back into it really I do like whizzing about on the bike. Anyway, up at 5.15. Dog walked in howling wind and paper fetched by 5.55am. On way to work by 6.05 and showered and at my desk by 7am. Not bad going in my view.

Not a great deal happened although did tune up the 13" tom and it sounded grand in the evening for something to do. Messed about for ages with a crap drumhead on it so bought an Evans G2 put it on and within seconds it's sounding right - warm with a cracking musical resonance - lesson learned.

Can't remember much else other than it being a really busy day at work and I was glad when it was done!
Saturday 16th September 2017
Emily and Nick's Wedding Day so everything focussed on that. Really enjoyable day but was flagging by 9:30pm.

| Put this one on because it reminds me of a Counting Crows lyric! |
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl
Think Lucy (and bosskat, of course) looks radiant in the second picture and you can sort of see what Adam Duritz means when he says "To see the way that light attaches to a girl" !!
Sunday 17th September 2017
From Wedding to Weeding just by swapping a day and a letter! Down at the lotty from Early, took 14 bags of rubbish to the tip, brought home courgettes, raspbobs, beetroot a big spud I'd missed and a couple of sweetcorns.
After putting a shift of sorts in down at the lotty (it was a Sunday after all, four hours is plenty) I went up to catch second half of Lucy's cup match at Osmaston. They ran home 6-2 winners over Derby Rovers - great to see them win. So pleased me and the pooch went up.
Day finished with a pub quiz at The Shoulder, Osmaston. Cracking night we came third from bottom - result!!
