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.

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.

Woke up with lurgy, took dog walk and threw up on the way. Went back to bed, stayed there until 1:30pm. Dodgy tummy and nausea what a great time to get it. At least weather was pretty rubbish.
Had a slice of bread to eat all day.
Sunday 27th March 2016
Up earlyish. Took Pooch a walk along the line. Still feeling awful. Didn't eat anything until tea time. I cut another three three foot sections of gutter up and got some more peas going.
Mum and dad came for dinner and I had nowt. Dad suggested brandy and ginger and it worked a treat. Took el pooch a walk up the golf course. She loves it up there.
Went to bed about 9:30, slept pretty well through, no further squitters. All good.

Tuesday 15th March 2016
Up easrly. Dog walked, papers fetched, work, home top tea, more walks, did a bit in greenhouse - have got a better bit of insulation on the door now but have also got a cunning plan to make it even better in due course!! Watched two episodes of Game of Thrones for first time in about a year and it was grand.
Wednesday 16th March 2016
Up early and out with the dog. Papers fetched back. Work for 7.40am, first in that's the way to do it. Group after work - managed a maintain - happy with that all things considered. Walked the pooch along the line in daylight which made for a nice change. Got some Coco Coir soil stuff to try - apparently it's very good in a hydroponic way - will see about that.
Watched another GoT - very good can't work out why we stopped watching it. Season 4 finale tomorrow night. Bed early at 9:30
Thursday 17th March 2016

Tea, then took dog a walk with the missus down the line. Did a bit in the greenhouse getting all the strawberry plants into one tray so they can go down the lotty in due course. Watched final episode of series four of Games of Throne, the hound is a goner it would seem as is Charles Dances character, and Tyrion is away. Great stuff.

Monday 7th March 2016 to Sunday 13th March 2016
Monday 7th March 2016
Up early. Dog walked (getting lighter). Papers Fetched. Office for 8am. Delivery to special project. Back home 5.15! Dog walk in the light. Loads of telly - X Files, Stewart Lee Comedy Product, Vinyl - all good stuff. Bed a bit later but never mind.
Tuesday 8th March 2016
Up early. Woke Lucy up at 6 to do some homework. Dog walk, papers fetched. Put antifreeze and what have you in missus car. Work for 7.50 everything on rails. Watered the propagator and the greenhouse - nearly ended up in a heap tripping over the bit of wood I've put down for the partition
Wednesday 9th March 2016
Up really early. Chucking it down with rain - very short dog walk but all business done so everyone's happy. Into the office for 7.40 even filling up the car with petrol. Group after work - 3lbs gone well into the 16st mullarkey now. On track.
Thursday 10th March 2016
Up super early. Dog walked, papers fetched into the office dead early.
Friday 11th March 2016
Up at 5.45am. Dog walked papers fetched. Off to work. Stopped at McD's for first time in three months - they stopped doing the McD Big Breakfast - no wonder I've not been in for three months. Went to that Wales at Lunch Time - only took three and a bit hours to get there which was nice! Went and dug a bit of bait.
Had a bit of tea then went over to fish Cemlyn - a whiting fest but I managed to catch a pouting and a dogfish to lead our Andrew 3-1 in the Species race!! High tide was about midnight - South/south westerly wind - Cemlyn flat calm - probably needs a northeasterly to do any good there.
Back home about 1am, bed very late in deed up again about 8am
Saturday 12th March 2016
Up earlyish all things considered. Bit of a walk. Bit of breakfast off to Holyhead. Walked a mile onto the breakwater. fished pegs 12 and 14 and caught absolutely nowt.
Waste of time but at least we give it a go. Had a walk to the point and back.
Back home rugby - England just scraped by but who cares. Tea about 8pm after I'd had a bit of a kip!!! Fishing down on the beach from about 11pm!!! Andrew got a dogfish on cast one so he's only one behind on species count. After that it seemed to be one rockling after an all.
This one was the smallest and on the very last cast which was well after 1am.
Sunday 13th March 2016
Up early to go and recover a rig our Andrew lost. Felt quite warm.
Cleaned up and then got off home just before 9am and back home just before noon with two stops!!

Monday 29th February 2016 to Sunday 6th March 2016
Monday 29th February 2016
Up early at 5:50 but not early enough it would seem. Pooch on go slow so got Phil to get Lucy up at 6:30 so she could catch up on homework that she's had all weekend. Watched missus open her presents good stuff then into the office for 8am (including a stop for petrol). All good stuff. Another really busy day then back home for 6pm. Missus and little un went out to Alvaston. Me and Phil got busy with swapping the extractor fan in the shower - wahey the bugger works. Bit of a fiddle now as you have to turn off the solar inverter and what have but still only took about ten minutes and now we've got a working extractor fan. Ace. For reference it's a Manrose MG100T 20W Gold Standard Axial BathroomExtractor Fan w/Timer - I think as the wiring has been done so that 'live always' is really 'live switched' (or certainly appears to be) the w/timer bit is superfluous but who cares it works!! Also got me heated propogator down from the attic at the same time as switching the inverter off so all good stuff I reckon!!!
Tuesday 1st March 2016
Up early. Chucked it down all night so me and pooch were lucky to get a walk done in very light drizzle. Well pleased with that and have started getting rid of tons of change when I buy papers - that should make me right popular! Quickly watered stuff in the greenhouse then off to the office before 8am.
Wednesday 2nd March 2016
Am too busy is what it is. Updating this on a Friday and all. Got missus a copy of the new paper thing that's been launched not sure it's worth having. Group after work, another pound gone so still ticking along in the right direction. Went to Waitrose in the evening - got a load of coffee grounds to add to compost, bosskat bought something as well so I got a free coffee. Very nice!!
Thursday 3rd March 2016
Up early. Dog walked, Into office for 7.45 all good stuff. Long day got home 6.30. Missus let me set up heated propogator so have got a load of tomatos in. All good stuff - more dog walks etc.
Friday 4th March 2015
Up even earlier! 5.40am. Dog walked, people woken up for 6.30, bosskat for 7am. Into office for 7.50. Everything on rails. Footie tomorrow. Nipped to Aldi with Lucy to get mothering sunday stuff sorted out.
Saturday 5th March 2015
Up early. Dog walked, papers fetched. Farm sale at Cheddleton with Phil at 7:30am - field like the Somme.
Did a bit in the greenhouse. Lift with the neighbour to bus stop. On the Swifty bus for 11.25 and into Derby about 12.15. In the Alex by 12.30!!! Watched Derby beat Huddersfield 2-0 - very poor game but a win is a win is a win. Sat in West stand with Jason which was more fun that I expected if I'm honest, normally like to sit in East stand but things seem a bit less frenzhied over in the West Stand Upper!
A pint in the Alex on the way back then back home for about 7.30pm. Chippie tea when I got off the bus, magic!!
Sunday 6th March 2015
Slight headache! Dog walked right round the meadow. Nipped to Lottie for a short while got the tops off me water butt. Mothering sunday carvery at the Cross.

Up early doors. Woke Lucy at 6am. Dog walked, papers fetched into the office by 7.50am Back home a bit after 6pm - got a ton done. Watched episode 2 of Vinyl it's definitely odd telly.
Tuesday 23rd February 2016

Wednesday 24th February 2016
Up earlier than ever. Dog walked and back by 6.35am. Into office before 8am. Went to group after work after a very lean day and scraped a pound and a half loss! Still it's progress. Back home, tea and a dog walk. All good stuff, bed quite early (soon as final whistle blown after Derby beat Blackburn 1-0) - a bit too toasty had to switch leccy blanket off!!
Thursday 25th February 2016
Up a bit later - 6am!!! Dog walked, papers fetched - have noticed it's getting lighter on the way back now which is good as I forgot the torch this morning and couldn't see where poocher had done her business until I was on way home!!
Friday 26th February 2016
The usual. Got some stuff for the missus' birthday. Took a load of stock to a supplier who we're trialling. Got home, tired, Sorted him a Now TV box with six months entertainment on it for £25 - you can't go wrong really. Dog walks and bed.
Saturday 27th February 2016
Up early. Dog walked. Papers fetched. Phil fetched me breakfast for a change (although I did pay for it but you can't have everything). Got a partition set up in the lotty so the heater shouldn't have to work overtime. Golf with Doug and John, shot a very steady 86 which included 3 three-putts and finishing the 18th with an eight so pleased with that. Watched a bit of Rugby when got back, early to bed again. Very tired at the moment.
Sunday 28th February 2016
Up early. Dog walked. Plenty of running around to get missus' prezzies for her birthday. Took her to Doveleys Garden Centre - not overly impressed then lunch at Darley Dale which was ace. Very nice. Back home after popping up to mum and dad's for about 5.15/5:30. Still light so took pooch up gold course - found four balls and let pooch have a run once I was at least half a mile away from all roads! She was good as gold really so pleased with that. Have got a book at home so am going to learn how to do recall with her. Bed early after polishing shoes and getting everything ready.
