2nd Server Install

Installing Craighill Server today left at 9:30 and dropped off some backup tapes at Kiltearn.
Left back of 2 and drove home to do emails and edit some files for the server above.
Hanna and I walked to the shop at night for some butter so I could make her Pasta, butter and cheese. I had some chicken and rice and we sat downstairs. I'm on this laptop and watching TV, Hanna is on the computer writing more of her story 'fairyfinder' :-)

Server Install

Installing server at Kiltearn PS today left around 9:30am and was finished around 1:30pm...Had late lunch and went to office for a few hours.

Went to do some throwing at night, did some stone putting 10 standing and 10 turns, 28lb weight throw around 10 throws and light hammer about 10 throws finished with some 56 weight for height throws and Jules appeared at the field gate, she had run down because they had locked themselves out of the house ho ho.

The guys were setting up the field for the games on the 11th (Hanna's birthday) and a couple of them cames down for a chat. John MacGregor had cut the grass where I throw, this helped a bit underfoot.

Yesterday all my troubles

Went to Inverness for work, had sushi for lunch and visited Holland and Barrett, went to the gym later and did my speed workout, I figured I should have been doing this about 4 weeks earlier and maybe it's too late to benefit but I'll keep at it., here it is
Bench Press 120kg x 6, drop down to floor 8 clap press ups - 3 sets
Front Press 80kg x 6, med ball throws against wall 8kg - 3 sets
Back Squats 150kg x 6, jump onto 26" block x 8 - 3 sets
Step up on 16" block with 40kg x 6 each leg, step up and spring onto same block x 6 each leg - 3 sets

It was pretty tough working the strength and then speed, muscles were pretty tired after, felt good though.

Had a BBQ for dinner.

Easy day

Had an easy day was going to the gym but ended up not going as I was too tired must have been yesterday leaving so early n stuff.

Went to Inverness for 11am Hanna was getting her hair cut at Leslie's I was sitting waiting on a chair when the stylist asked me over, I thought right away woops, she pointed out the headlice and my fears were realised, I asked where to get the 'headlice killer' we went to Boots and bought some did various shoppings, Jules went to the gym, Hanna and I played out the back first doing some jumps and finishing off with some high end hide and seek ha ha....

We went up to Matalan or Mataland as Hanna used to call it when she was younger, I got some new shorts and a summer top - ever hopeful that the Summer is actually coming..... It was sunny today but kinda cloudy too and it never really warmed up never mind, late Summer would be nicer than no Summer at all (if it comes)

We came home and had Fajitas I cooked the Fillet Steak on the BBQ and Jules was inside cooking the rest of the stuff and grating cheese, they were very nice made up from the fillet.

Going for a walk tonight may write up later...

Stopped off in Fort William at MacD's and got a chicken burger, mozzarela cheese dippers and a flake flurry :-)

Got home around 7:45pm, Jules had her hair straightened today wow it kinda changes her appearance, I thought it was someone else, it's nice though erm I think!!! They told me about there day and how much they had enjoyed it (without me :-()

ha ha c u tomorrow.........

56 pounds

Been watching the Disco all day on Ebay it's only reached £550 with 20 mins to go :-(
Never mind, went to Dingwall to get some meat from Jason he's off his heid but he's a good lad ha ha, on the way back we turned into Jill and co to see Fiona and the ol Jeep ran out of diesel woops Jules had to come and get us, I think she was quite pleased as she could have a look around Fiona's at the sale stuff, she is always needing sporty clothes (weird eh?)

We went home got changed and went off to the gym, Jules and Hanna did their workouts and I threw my 56lb weight for distance and then for height, throwing was going well. We had to go and get diesel tae put in ma Jeep. we went back home and I took Jules car down to make sure mine would start, it did, so I drove back and then walked down to get the Jeep and drive it back, must remember to go and get diesel in the morning ha ha

Ma Disco didn't sell it reached £595 £155 short of my reserve price bummer maybe I'll put it back on tomorrow.

Later M

Lazy Day

Didn't do much today had a BBQ for Lunch and went to Dingwall later to LIDL, TESCO the bakers for our later lunch snack and then to the office to pick up a couple of laptops to work on at home.

Checked Ebay for my Disco and it's up to £500 I bought it for 1300 so am losing 800 so far but am hopeful that it will go up from there.

Going down to the field for fitness training now
