Week commencing Monday 16th June 2025

Monday 16th June 2025
Up a little before 5am.  Walked to plot and watered a bit,  repatriated 3 slugs and then home by 6.30.  Did a few jobs then off to work.  Went up to lotty after work.  Put some more Cosmos in the last little bit of ground,  did a bit of weeding and watering as well.  

Tuesday 17th June 2025
Up early walked to lotty,  watered,  repatriated five slugs.  Came back. Went to Tippers at 7.30 got threw slabs and two bags of sand as we have got to put a base down for a bench in memory of Paddy.   All got done by 8.30 and Phil was off to work.  I got day off as the bench was supposed to be delivered by lunch time.  It came at 2.30 and we got it put in place so all was well (it just fit on the slabs so that was good!!).  Did a ton of pottering, mowing and some more planting while I waited for the call that they were delivering - anyway they were nice people who we've dealt with in the past TDP from Wirksworth - the bench is made from recycled plastic. 
Went golfing on my own at 4 o'clock'ish got 18 holes in pretty much so that was good exercise if not good golf!    On way home stopped at McDonalds and got a Steakhouse Stack - it was blooming lovely, I have to say!  

Wednesday 18th June 2025

Up at 5.10 and off to the lotty.  Watered/fed everything (apart from spuds and onions) with a seaweed food.  Got just one slug repatriated after Tuesday's major removal! All good stuff back home for about 6.30.   

Went and had a sit on Pad's bench after tea.  In a nice spot in the shade it was just a grand temperature out of the sun on a red hot day.  Then went up lotty - watered and got a few more plants in the ground.  All good. 

Thursday 19th June 2025
Wee dog wanted to go out at 4am, bless her.  Back to bed then overlaid until 5.20am

Walked up to lotty,  bit of watering,  seven slugs repatriated.  Came back and washed my car and Lucy's car.  All good stuff.   Into office in good time.  

Friday 20th June 2025 
Forgot to fill it in.  Think weather was okay cause we went to a BBQ at Harrington.  Late to bed so was knackered all day Saturday!

Saturday 21st June 2025
Up early considering.  Went and watered.  Then later went up and put some more beans in (clearing the decks of unnecessary plantage at home).  Saturday night went to bed early. 

Sunday 22nd June 2025
Days are drawing in.  Up early for golf.  Hated it, cannot get anything out of the golf course we moved to this year.  Hate it.  Hate it. Hate it.  Did a bit more up at the lotty.  All good.  Forgot to mention that it tidied greenhouse up a little bit as well on Saturday. 
Sunday evening gig at the Roebuck, Burton - which was a cracker,  went down well,  a couple of mistakes but not played for three weeks so what do you expect! 
Wedged in a bit.  This set up with three cymbals stands holding up five cymbals and a rack tom was perfect for this situation.  I really need to tidy up my hardware bag at some point and put in cymbal boom arms in it so can take rack or stands depending on the situation! All good,  bed a little bit late.
