This morning we picked up Yu Lee's mum and brought her back to our house. When we got in we ate some noodles and then I went to bed.

As they were in the house I decided to put in some ear plugs and I set my alarm for 1:45 hours. About an hour into my nap I suddenly became aware of my earplugs and thought that I wouldn't be able to hear the alarm because of them, and that I didn't know if it was going off or not. I took out my earplugs in the confusion and then realised it wasn't time to get up yet.

I went back to sleep and woke up from a dream to my alarm.

Today we went out to Homebase again and bought a new barbecue and a hedge trimmer. I was pretty tired when we got in so I had a sandwich and a small glass of wine and then went to sleep.

Again I set my alarm early and got up quite easily.

Last night it was gone past midnight by the time I fell asleep. When I woke up this morning I was having a really weird dream.

Today was a bank holiday so me and Yu Lee went out to look for garden furniture. I got bored around midday and we came home, and then I played Kerbal Space Program for a while. I was tired, but I played anyway.

I fell asleep quickly for my nap and made an effort to not sleep for too long. It took me 5 minutes or so to wake up properly when the alarm went off.

Today I went out with one of my Spanish friends and a couple of her friends. We spoke Spanish all night as I don't think her friends spoke English.

Yu Lee came and picked me up afterwards and then we had a pizza. I was quite tired and fell asleep quickly just after 11pm.

...and the next thing I remember is waking up the the alarm. The banging must have stopped for a while because I was in a pretty deep sleep and didn't want to wake up!

Not a bad nap considering the noise!

...The hammering continued for a while. I don't know how long so I guessed 45 minutes for my sleep log. I kept drifting back off though and waking up a little later to more banging...

Today was officially my last day of employment! The rest of the morning I've been trying to deal with a horrible Windows issue (Blue Screen of Death) and then I sat in the garden with a small glass of wine and a sandwich. Towards the end of my lunch someone started hammering something outside.

For my nap I fell asleep pretty quickly, but was awoken by the hammering about an hour later...

Last night it took me a little while to fall asleep, which isn't really surprising as I had my nap so late in the day. Once I got to sleep I slept solidly through the night.

This morning I was dreaming.

Today was my leaving lunch at WorldPay, as my manager is not in the office on my last day tomorrow. We went for Japanese food at Wagamama, which was a lot better than I thought it would be.

I had a couple of beers, and in the end I walked home because it was such a nice day. When I got home there wasn't a cloud in the sky so I sat in the garden and had another beer in the sun.

At nap time I fell asleep straight away and set an alarm for about 6:00pm, but I woke up naturally 15 minutes before it was due to go off.

I had a lovely day!

Yesterday afternoon I worked in the garden until Yu Lee came home, then we went for ramen. When we got back we both worked on some client work that I needed to get finished before today so that I can have the next 5 days off.

It was nearly midnight when we finished and we were both really tired. When I got into bed it took me a while to sleep, because despite being tired my brain was really active. It's always difficult for me to sleep without some time to wind down first.

I slept like a rock until my alarm went off this morning. I feel slightly tired now.

Today was another wonderfully sunny day, so I had a beer with my lunch in the garden. After lunch I went to bed and fell asleep straight away, and set my alarm for 2 hours.

When my alarm went off I laid in bed for about 15 minutes, but this time I actually fell back to sleep and drifted in and out a few times. It always seems like 2 hours interrupts a period of deep sleep which makes it hard to wake up.

Today for lunch I sat in the sun and had yesterday's curry takeaway with a glass of wine. In addition to this I got about an hour of work done after getting in from WorldPay.

I fell asleep quickly for my nap and woke up naturally about 1:45 hours later. I went back to sleep and woke up again 1 minute before the alarm went off for a total of 2 hours sleep.

Last night I fell asleep quickly, and this morning I was dreaming when I woke up. Even immediately after waking I couldn't remember anything about my dream, but I know I was definitely dreaming!

This morning we did some gardening, and then I had a sandwich and a glass of wine and went for my nap.

I fell asleep pretty quickly and didn't set an alarm. I woke up about 3 hours later, and then dozed for a little while. I sat up to get out of bed a couple of seconds before Yu Lee came in to get me.

I think I've caught up on a bit of lost sleep.

Last night I felt quite tired around 10:30pm, but then I perked up a bit towards the end of the evening. We went to bed around 11:30pm and chatted for a while, and once we settled down to sleep I fell asleep quickly.

This morning I felt a little bit sleepy.
