It was another early start again. Dad started on the pergola, cutting all of the wood and fixing it together while I dug all of the soil out under it. Once I had dug all of the soil out it was wackered before barrowing in 1 tonne of type 1, which was then wackered down. I then moved onto doing the same for the circle while Dad laid the blocks around the edge on a bed of concrete. We then barrowed the sand into the base and circle.

It was an early start this morning. We did a lot of digging to get the ground ready. Then we cut all of the wood down to make the raised beds and fixed it all together. We then got the posts for the pergola dug and into the ground and finished off by concreting them in.

This evening we went to my Parents to have a games night with my Sister and Thomas. Mum and Dad cooked everyone fajitas and then we played on Mario Kart on the Switch, then played One Night Ultimate Werewolf, which is great fun with loads of people. We had a great night and the weather was lovely so we could also just spend some time in the garden together.

Today all of the materials and skip arrived for our garden project. I spent the evening clearing all of the rubbish from the garden and digging out some of the circle for when we start at the weekend.

We were planning on going for a local bike ride this morning, but decided to look at where else we could go and decided to go to Hicks Lodge in Swadlincote. We went on the Shell Brook trail which was 5.5 miles down hill and through the forest which was great fun. We then had a play on the park before heading to McDonalds on the way home for some lunch.

For my Dads birthday I decided to organise a night out together. We went to KFC for some food which was lovely and then we went to Roller World Derby for a Hip Hop night. We got there at 7am when it started. We had a great few hours skating, there was quite a few people there but not overly packed which was good. We skating until 9:30 and then drove home. Had a great evening with my Dad.

I got Dad tickets to the The Pixel Bunker for Christmas and today we managed to organise going. We set off nice and early as we were booked in for the 10am - 1pm session. We had a great 3 hours, completing both the TMHT game as well as Time Crisis. We had some races against each other on some driving games and also played on the pinball machines. After we went to McDonalds for some lunch and then to the Lego shop to have a look around before heading home.

It was a lovely day out today, so we decided to go and do 9 holes of Pitch and Putt at Blaby Golf Centre. We are not that great at it, we didn't really keep score so no clue who won, but we had a great time.

I got offered the position of Staff Engineer at Learning Pool today. Really excited about the opportunity!

Today Ethan and I went to my parents to spend the day with them and Thomas. We played on the Switch, Lego and some board games. We had a great day.
