Started vaguely on time. Spent the bulk of the day though procrastinating about a certain bug. Many people in denial, it got fixed in the end but I got bored and took the dogs out for a couple of hours, there’s only so much arguing getting nowhere that I could take. Kind of lost enthusiasm at that point so just did an SDK upgrade. Got some good stuff planned for tomorrow though. Talking of upgrades, Windows did it’s major upgrade today, thankfully no issues and all running again. Talking of running, I did a six mile one this evening. I then let Jamie and Tanner use the dinning room to do his radio show. So I’m now sat in his office. It’s not too bad actually, I’ve built a sculpture using cutlery I found on the floor and also found the other pin sentry machine. The TV even streams fine from my recorder, so I think that’s a good result.

Today we were supposed to be working on something, but that all got cancelled due to more bug hunting and that’s not over yet. Weather was better, walked Sasha, but no route marching today, it was over in an hour. I’m changing my Pokemon Go playing strategy slightly, need to forget about high combat power pidgeys as they are a sod to catch and it’s all getting a bit dull. Walked to gym, did Combat, walked home. Sorted through four bags of rubbish Jamie had collected that wouldn’t fit in the bin. Recovered about a dozen plastic bottles, twenty cans and a shit ton of cardboard, plus a full bottle of shampoo and about twenty socks. It now all fits in the bin.

So after coffee and cereal I spent half hour evolving my Pokemon. Shot up to level twenty-two. Walked to Tesco’s and picked up some stuff for Bbq. Then spent the next God knows how many hours walking Sasha. Finally got home and then walked myself a bit more. Got Bbq going. Jamie finally turned up with his friend ‘Tanner’, who’s Canadian, but I can forgive that. We had the Bbq, Sasha was annoying, she’s now passed out. Jamie was doing a shopping list, I phoned mother and got her’s. We checked out, now I’m getting no end of text messages, she had one opportunity. Been a strange weekend, have a feeling it’s going to be a strange week.

Morning started as normal with coffee and cereal. Walked Sasha to an inch of death, okay, wasn’t that bad but we walked in the heat for almost four hours. Had a quick lunch and then parked at mothers. Spent the next four hours catching Pokemon. Dropped my artwork off at the tattooist. Then spent the next few hours catching Pokemon. Good fun. Jamie is away at ‘Summer of Sonic’, so I’m at home getting quite pissed to be honest.

Once again spent the bulk of the day on a certain project’s bugs. The above is actually a quote from an artist, which is why I’m a raging alcoholic permanently on the verge of suicide, the shit I have to deal with…

Beautiful day today, Sasha had a nice long walk, mainly so I could avoid artists. Did some more bugs and some profiling when I got back. Walked to the gym, did Pump, walked home. Since I’ve been taking Ibuprofen an hour or so before the class I haven’t had any leg issues at all. Did a bit more work and then prepared the artwork ready for the tattooist. I feel like a rather mammoth walk tomorrow so will drop it in on my travels.

Work today was all about bug fixing on another project. It’s getting close to release so needed some serious bug hunting done by somebody who knows what they are doing. Hence I did it and knocked a load of issues off. Had a phone call with a friend at an agency. We always catch up every few months. I said I’d just clocked up thirty years in the industry, he reminded me that he was twenty-five, I’ve been in the industry five years longer than he’s been on the planet. Walked Sasha, weather wasn’t too bad, but by this evening it had all clouded over again. I went out for a long walk and got rained on a couple of times.

I won’t bang on bout work, it was very frustrating and not much progress was made. Getting pissed off with the weather. Managed to walk Sasha in the dry. But by the evening it was drizzling again. Managed to go for a six mile run and only had a couple of gentle showers. Leg was well behaved. After re-syncing everything the FitBit is now talking to MyFitnessPal again. I’ve also now synced FitBit to Vitality Health, so I now get a free cinema ticket every week and twenty quid iTunes voucher every month, so worth doing that I guess.

Work was mainly dull as all it was really was syncing and building data, basically making sure I hadn’t broken anything with all my changes before checking it all in. Data builds are still going on now. Managed to walk Sasha in the dry, although the weather looked very gloomy right until the point we got home again. Then started raining and basically hasn’t stopped since. So this evening I drove to the gym and spent over an hour on an elliptical trainer. My FitBit wouldn’t change from ‘run’, I’ve reset it now and it works again. Now though it doesn’t want to sync to MyFitnessPal, nothing ever works together at the same time.

Miserable weather today. Got stuck into work, had a hell of a lot to do. I still reckon I have a day left on this task, so a couple of days over the estimate. Walked Sasha in the rain. She came back and had that wonderful ‘wet dog’ smell as she insisted on lying down behind my office chair. Walked to Combat in the rain. Walked home in more rain. Did more work. Dillon barked continuously tone let out. I let him out and forgot about him as he was off munching apples. About half hour later he started barking again. He’s now on the couch next to me…more ‘wet dog’.

Started this morning fairly early, I think it was due to going to bed at a reasonable hour. Coffee, paper, porn, usuals. Then route marched Sasha for a couple of hours, picked up some more Pokemon. Had a quick bite and then picked up my dear friend Laverne. She’s one of my oldest and closest friends, we have known each other for about fifteen years and there is very little we don’t know about each other. To say she was nervous was an understatement, we drove up to Staverton and she did what she does well, talk a lot. We got to Staverton and the Red Barron was already out doing circuits. I checked in with Ben and we did the paperwork. We were soon on the tarmac and getting Laverne into the ‘copter. GoPro was setup and off we went. She was absolutely silent for probably about twenty minutes. I told her that she had to keep breathing. By the time we got over to Wales she was fine and chatting away again and enjoying the view. We flew down to the old Severn bridge and then dipped down into the Wye valley back to Gloucester. She really enjoyed it. Had a quick beer with Ben afterwards and drover her back. Went in search of a few more Pokemon. Had a bath. I enjoyed this weekend, very relaxing.
