...and what's the 1st thing you did after getting dressed and brushing your teeth?

7.10am. Made a cup of tea and gazed at the back garden for a bit before looking at this board on my phone.

6:40 my 5 year old got me up. Sorted his breakfast, then made a coffee and watched the SKY highlights of yesterday.

Just after 5.

Did a mindful meditation on gratitude.

5:50 due to being in work.

Stuck some tunes on to get me going

4.45 am - taxied my wife to Hawkshaw - she's doing a 35 mile walk today . Came back walked the dog around Towneley . Watered the plants in the garden - watched match of the day on i player then I could skip through the chat .

Still not 9 o'clock

Had a very enjoyable tom tit...textbook.

6am took the dog out while listening to From the Bee Hole podcast.

9.24

nothing to do with getting up although I was up at 8am tidied up the kitchen washed dishes ,we have had a sleep over with 2 of the grandchildren so lots of dishes etc that they had used and wanted new ones every time they wanted more ice cream.
But what I did want to make comment on was that you had walked round Towneley , we went to Towneley park on friday with the grandchildren its some 4 years since last went parked near the play park and the ice cream van with the 2 ice creams for £9 (did not get any ) but the play park was great the zip wire the climbing frame with a good slide. But the highlight was the 2 hrs they spent in the sand pit area with water wheel and sit on metal diggers to which they built 2 castles with moats and filled with water. Obviously the cream joggers they both had on were not cream after Grandma still trying to get clean !!! . But as I sat watching them and looking round Id forgotten just how nice it is. I went to Towneley school in the 70s and used to sometimes walk up to the hall in lunch break. 2 men were talking about how ''you would think there would be football pitches here'' And then realised that when id been as school there were the upper and lower football pitches and a grass running track.

Obviously I knew the school had gone and that were the lower pitches were there is a newish school with Rugby posts on Ignatious Redhead (head master at Towneley) would never have allowed that. did not go to check upper Towneley so not sure about if there are still pitches up there.

I’m sure a lot of Aussie Clarets can relate to waking up on a Sunday morning with a pit in their stomach. Anxious to see the result. I never look on clarets Mad. Always BBC Championship.

I woke in the middle of the night for Sheffield Utd.

It’s worse on the midweek games. I get up and have to follow BBC live text.

Following that Sunderland game was agonising, The amount of time the live text took to update on that 2nd penalty. I started believing…… Then it was reality. Traff had saved it!!!!

Such is the life of a different time zone Claret.

Once again I got up before my alarm went off. I don't know why I set it

My sister in Australia was looking forward to our game yesterday on Bein but they changed it to the Coventry game at the last minute.
I was visiting her a few weeks ago and managed to watch all the Burnley games but it took some doing timewise

I’m a terrible watcher tbh. I could get up in the night to seek out the game on some dodgy stream. But it would ruin me ha ha!

6:20 (ET) tried to find someone who spoke English or German and find the Polish word for breakfast

Woke up by cats at 9, fed em, bacon / kettle on, tidied kitchen, posted on here ,small ( unplanned ) glass of IPA , noted beer machine nozzle dripping so poured glass and ok now . Found bloody son (17) sleep on settee with a bird he’d brought back ! grrr strictly not allowed . Woke em up , back to bed with bacon butts /brews , nice day maybe bag workout and run once up .

5 as usual. Took dog out

Don't Burnley fans like sleeping?

7.30am but only cos I went to the game yesterday and got back home late. Usually up at 5am.

Got up and ran a 10km.

Woke at 7.30am , quick breakfast and cleaned the whole house . Packing things in boxes and getting ready to leave Spain on Tuesday .
Next stop Italy ........

It's my birthday today (78), so got up at 11oclock Spanish time. Going out for a nice tapas Sunday meal later with Mrs. Vino.

Happy Birthday I like a nice Rioja with tapas or a good Paella lunch then a nice siesta .

After yesterday, got up about an hour before I went to bed.

And Happy Birthday, Vino.

After being up at 4am yesterday to do airport run as Mrs W has gone away, and staying up for the boxing last night, I was hoping for some sort of lie in this morning and set alarm for 8 as needed to be up, ready & out for the kids football by 10

I was awake at 6:30

Saturday 4:25am, turn the TV on to watch the Clarets

Not much Sunday morning passion going on !!!

About 9 ish.
Did my exercises for plantar fasciitis.

Irrelevant but I’d have been up 2hrs earlier watching a re-run if the bastards at sky hadn’t moved us to the red button.

Up at 7:15, on the first tee at 08:20.
