Didn’t sleep hardly at all last night, mainly down to the heat and Jamie snoring like a train. So woke up this morning very tired. Made a start though, then drove over to Vauxhall to get the car serviced. They gave me that bloody white Agila again. Pram with an engine, it feels just so plastic and it had no bloody petrol in it. Got back home and cracked on.

Been feeling very tired all day, up to the point in the afternoon I almost dropped off. Picked up the car, which took bloody ages due to traffic. Came back and ploughed on. What I’m doing at the moment is very complex, there’s a hell of a lot of it, just have to plough through it. Felt very tired so finished a little bit early. Didn’t go anywhere this evening although it was a beautiful one. Now sat down watching this court case thing, recorded live in a Scottish court. After that I think I’ll try and get an early night as the dog is at daycare tomorrow.

Woke up late, probably due to having baths and wine at stupid o’clock last night. Yes, indeed, today I was working on shaders, again. But finally I’ve finished, sorted out my default parameters issues. So ready to move on to the next bit, which is renderer related. That’ll be a long job, but a fun one.

Booked a hotel for a gathering of work people in a few weeks. Opened up the Tesco shopping list. Then I’ve booked something interesting for Friday, certainly something I’ve never done before and probably never will again.

Walked the dog. She got very hot and tired. Went to Combat, which was quite quiet.

Thinking about doing the 5-2 diet again to buff up for Turkey. That unfortunately doesn’t mean five cans of larger followed by two bottles of wine. Technically I could do a 3-4 diet just by cutting out bread from my lunchtime sandwich and cheese. Will give it a blast next week.

Today was warm. No actually today was hot. Sarah arrived and picked up the carpet shampooer, the dog almost behaved. Then Mr Tesco arrived and substituted by chili tortilla chips for cheesy ones. I’m sure they are awful. Walked the dog lunchtime, she was fine, enjoyed the sunshine. Came back and ate a chicken salad sandwich. Put the washing on.

I opened the bedroom window and dear Buzz Lightyear made a bid for freedom and dived over the window sill. I then had to get a chair outside and retrieve him off the living room flat roof. Today was working on shaders again, the good news being is they now all build. I’ve still got the fun problem to solve with default parameters though. One for Monday.

Went to the gym and did Body Pump. Was fun, except I think I put more weight on the bar than usual for biceps and now my arms are killing. Came back and loaded up the GPS with caches ready for Sunday. Tomorrow I think I’ll walk the dog over to Almondsbury and then in the afternoon I’ll walk into town and go around the docks and stuff. Cooking tomorrow night, making pies. Need to pick mother up from some wedding.

Woke up and actually managed to start work early, well early for me. Got straight on with it and changed something that was annoying me, took until early afternoon to get back to where I was, but I was happier about it. Went out for a quick run then did a second session. Almost there on shaders now, I reckon another day and a half and it should be sorted.

The weather was looking shit but held out as we had a meeting with Kate the dog trainer woman. We took Sasha up to Almondsbury and met there. She brought her two quite elderly but lovely dogs. We let Sasha off her lead and walked across all the fields, she stayed within sight of us and had a great time, no problem with the other dogs at all. Her recall was also pretty good. So we came back and she got a nice bone as a reward, which she’s still having a bash at now.

Watched the Silverstone British Grand Prix, first one I think in many years that’s actually been any good. Lots of overtaking, lots of tyres exploding. I wish they were all like that, well, may be not the tyres exploding, that’s a tad dangerous.

So woke up this morning very angry. I wanted to ring up someone and complain about the appalling service. Then I realised that that the service was actually in a dream. For some reason I dreamt about trying to hire a carpet shampoo-er. I had waited over two hours, finally I spoke to someone and they said they would help me, I said I’ll give them twenty minutes and then leave. I ended up leaving, but only after I had recovered my shoes. It was a very strange dream. It was about the highlight of the day though.

Still working on shader stuff, decided this evening I need to do it a slightly different way as I’m just not happy with it. Again, nature of the job, these things happen. Need to sort out default parameters I think as well.

Walked the dog. She barked and went for other dogs a lot, which was rather annoying. Went to the gym and did combat, which was fun and quite tiring, it was very hot in there. Came back and did some more work. Now watching Silverstone Grand Prix qualifier. Will have an early night, want to start fairly early tomorrow.
