A bit achy today it has to be said. Up before 5am. Took pooch out early doors. Work after dropping Lucy off for her exams. Into the office for about 8:30. Out of the office at 3:30 to take some stuff down to Storeship so got home a bit after five which was okay - unbelievable rain on way home slowed down to about 30 mph on A38 - got other side of it and it was dry as a bone when got home.
Had tea did a load of mowing. Was going to cycle2work Tuesday but realised I got a hell of a lot to do before Friday!
Tuesday 24th March 2016
Up at 5am. Dog walked - got stuff ready for lottying tonight. Got mowing and a ton of stuff to get in the ground. Got strimmer in car so going to stop off at lotty on way home. Strim and mow then home for tea and then down lotty again with the pooch to do a load of planting of stuff.
Didn't go straight home after work - went to lotty first - mowed and strimmed. Back home for 7pm for tea. Dog walk. Back down lotty at 8:30 - planted the beetroot, some brassicas and the sweetcorn. Have still got loads to do before hols - bean row, weeding, outdoor cucumbers, marigolds etc.etc.

Thursday 26th May 2016

Up early. Dog walked, papers fetched. Greenhouse done and into office nice and early. Got out a bit earlier due to taking stock to Storeship. Picked up fixed Boardman from Halfords - £18

Cycling to work day. Up at 5am. Dog walked - had a walk near the lotty. Then off to work on the bike. Really tired today and it seems my seat is way too low (perhaps in comparison to the Giant but I will be adjusting that bugger come lunchtime.
Got home took ages on the Boardman - think I might be using the Giant a bit more in future!! Derby County at Hull with a three goal deficit to recover - came up short at 2-0 but restored a bit of pride. Never mind, always next year.
Wednesday 18th May 2016
Up at 5.15am. Dog walked, measured up the missus car and like Derby I think it's coming up a little bit short! Such is life. Into the office for 7.50am got clothes swapped round ready for the next Cycle2Work Tuesday!
Thursaday 19th May 2016
Into the office early as I'm finishing at lunch time. Whizzed off to Darley as me and me dad had to fetch a whopping big heavy table he's bought - it's a John Lewis Burford 6-8 seater dining table and it's stunning. It's missing a bit unfortunately that we'll need to replace. Hopefully John Lewis can help. .
Got home for 6pm'ish, dog walked, tea, did a bit of homework. Got to bed about 11, yikes!
Friday 20th May 2016
Woke at 4am thought ooh, I can have another hour, woke up at 6.10am late!! Got Lucy up, took pooch got off to work in for 8.10am which wasn't a bad effort all told. Pub quiz after work - we come third which was very good indeed in my opinion.

Bag of nerves today got an audition with a power metal band. Woohoo. Got through with massive blisters on me thumb but need some work to get it together - lots of songs with lots of complicated bits in em. Never mind. Got the kit into the little car which is good! Lunch over at mum and dad's before going to the rehearsal back for about 7pm absolutely cream crackered.

Was so busy I didn't do any blog updates last week at all. Top news is that Jon Snow is alive!!
Did a few bits of lotty. Did midweek mowing which might be the future (not sure). Did some invites for me mum and dad which is good. Put 2lbs on which is bad (but weighed Friday morning and I never weigh good mornings).
Went to a pub at Hulme End on Friday which was nice - saw a massive hare on way home.
Took pooch for grooming on Saturday. Bit more Lotty on Saturday afternoon. Got three big pavers taken up and finished off paths in number 13,
Finished off week buying some more drums
Then got a load of good stuff done down the lotty once everything had cooled down a bit.
That's all I can remember.

Monday 11th April 2016
Up at 5.20. Had to get Lucy up for a shower at 5.30 so did some stuff before taking pooch a walk - had a shower, cleaned teeth. Dog walked, papers fetched and back by 6.15 so had a quick shower then woke everyone up as you do... Into the office before 8am. Loads on. What a day, back home for 6.15. Tea then out with the dog. Back home did a bit in the greenhouse - planted some runner beans not tried Crusader before will see how they get on. Potted some Aldi Summer cauli's we got for a shiny poond. Then inside for telly night while missus and Lucy were out. Watched Houdini and Doyle which is most enjoyable telly lite of the litest order. Then watched another episode of Vinyl which you can see disaster just floating along like an iceberg ready to inflict damage on a massive scale!!
Tuesday 12th April 2016
Up at 5.20 again - funny how quickly you adapt to British Summer Time (not that you'd think it were Summer). Had to go early again as Lucy wanted to get up at 6.15 to catch up on homework - bless her. Took bosskat and Lucy to Nottingham Arena for 5 Seconds of Summer or somesuch Australian Tat. Back home for midnight.
Wednesday 13th April 2016
Up dead early. Dog walked, papers fetched. Into the office before 8am. Funny day at the office but got some things sorted out which I think is good. Lost 1.5lb at group somehow.

Woah overlaid until 6am. Quick dog walk, papers, brekko, dropped some shoes into the recycling bins at Sainsbobs on the way to work. Got car juiced up. Into the office a few minutes after 8am for a change. Busy stressful day again. Down to supplier and home for a bit after 5pm.
Saturday 16th April 2016
Busy day of dog walking, greenhouse and allotmenteering. Got everything mowed round the plot - the old petrol lawnmower in me shed started marvellously with a bit of encouragement, Enough charge in the strimmer to go round both plots too - so all good stuff - did a bit of weeding on number 7 as well. Derby won so that was good news too.
Sunday 17th April 2016
Up early. Dog walked. Did another two sessions down at the allotment. Got peas in, got some broad beans in so a not bad start. Got another bed sorted out. Got some of the paths between the beds done too. Have managed to watch all of the Tunnel: Sabotage in the space of a week - excellent TV.

Saturday 16th April 2016
Busy day of dog walking, greenhouse and allotmenteering. Got everything mowed round the plot - the old petrol lawnmower in me shed started marvellously with a bit of encouragement, Enough charge in the strimmer to go round both plots too - so all good stuff - did a bit of weeding on number 7 as well. Derby won so that was good news too.
Sunday 17th April 2016
Up early. Dog walked. Did another two sessions down at the allotment. Got peas in, got some broad beans in so a not bad start. Got another bed sorted out. Got some of the paths between the beds done too. Have managed to watch all of the Tunnel: Sabotage in the space of a week - excellent TV.

Monday 4th April 2016 to Sunday 10th April 2016
Monday 4th April 2016
Up at 5:29! Dog walked, very mild, very damp. Got papers and got into work nice and early. Back home about 6pm. Tea. Dog walk. Fitted a new loo seat - why is it that one of the nuts always comes off easy and the other won't budge - can an old loo seat conspire to lull you into a false sense of security??? I don't know. Watched two episodes of the Tunnel which is a right wierd bit of telly. Bed late.
Tuesday 5th April 2016
Didn't get up until 5.45am so a little bit behind so far. Nice dry, mild day that'll do for me. Took pooch a walk, got papers, got into the office for just gone 8am. Busy day, home for about 6pm. Tea then walked pooch up to Sprinkshill Wood and back. Bluebells not out yet. Back home did a bit in the greenhouse - got some butternut squash and pumpkins planted and some assorted sunflowers to go with the half a dozen that are already ticking along quite nicely.
Watched another episode of the Tunnel and Stewart Lees Comedy Vehicle which was his worst of the series but still funny in places. Bed a bit after 10pm
Wednesday 6th April 2016
Up at 5.45. Drizzley - I thought a frost was expected so had heater on in greenhouse and it wasn't needed. Such is life. Dog walked, papers fetched, all good stuff. In the office for 7.50am. V Busy day. Got out of the office about 5:30, nipped to group, half a pound off which after going out twice at the weekend isn't a bad result - digging on Sunday must have helped. 2 more episodes of The Tunnel - really whacko telly - very compelling, not known anything like it for putting the viewer on edge. Bed before 10pm
Thursday 7th April 2016
Over slept. Didn't get up until 6.11am. Shorter dog walk, into the office before 8am. Cripes. Busy day, meeting with the top brass! Back home a bit late, tea, dog walk, did a bit in the greenhouse all good stuff.
Friday 8th April 2016.
Up early, dog walked, papers fetched, into office before 8am. Came out a bit early so pooch could get a decent walk before we went to the Ketch for me mum's do. Mixed grill - marvellous. Back home, nipped to Aldi for some firewater got some caulis, chillis and tomato plants that had been reduced to a pound a go. Not sure how many of the tomato plants will survive - we'll see.
Saturday 9th April 2016
Up early. Pooch walked. Messed about in greeenhouse. Took some tat to the recycling centre. Watched a bit of golf. Lots of dog walks but didn't get a great deal else done? Rained in the afternoon.
Sunday 10th April 2016
Woke up to a frost, bugger. Put heater on in greenhouse, took pooch a walk. Went to lotty for two sessions, more digging done getting beds ready for stuff and what have you. Got some more spuds in. Got home about 5pm. Tea then another dog walk then settled down for the Masters, went to bed with Spieth looking like he was nailed on to win, woke up and found out Danny Willett had won - that'll be another thing the Yorkshire mob will be droning on about seeing as he comes from Sheff. Well done though young man - put the ball in the right places and had a cracking last round.

Monday 28th March 2016
Up early. Raining cats and dogs. Took pooch a mini walk as she does not like the rain. Got the papers, got home, shower, shave off to work. In the office for 7.52 not bad with clocks going forward yesterday. Good day in the office.
Back home for 5:30pm Tea then out with the pooch who went on to roll in fox muck, bless her.
Got missus' sweet peas planted after soaking 'em for a day. Watched the usual Monday night telly while the boss was out - Houdini and Doyle, Vinyl (great episode), Blind Spot - top stuff!

Wednesday 30th March 2016
Up at 5.36, car scraped for second day in a row, papers fetched, dog walked, in the office for 7.50am. All good stuff. Lost 4lbs at group - so at least one thing good came out of being really poorly at the weekend! Back home for 6pm. Tea then walked the dog up the golf course again. She loves it up there - unfortunately she now knows what rabbits are so will need to be super careful from now on.
Thursday 31st March 2016
Can't remember what I did Thursday such is life.
