Day 3710 (26/02/2020)

Trying to catch-up after an enforced day off yesterday.

Had our delayed pancake day treats :-)

 

 

Day 3709 (25/02/2020)

The day started early with a visit to the Doctors, for a check-up, then off to the garage with my wife's car, for a service & MOT. Then home where my wife's flowers are looking good already.

Then the power went off at around 2pm and it was a long cold day :-(

we went out to Costa for a hot drink and tried their vegan cheese and ham tostie.

Then home to site in the dark doing a crossword, with a fish & chips.

Day 3708 (24/02/2020)

Another busy week in the office.

Day 3706 & 3707 (22 & 23/02/2020)

It's the weekend and lots to do in the office, preparing for Oman but we must have a day out, as we need to do about 160 miles in the car before it goes into the garage on Tuesday. So we had a nice breakfast.

Then we drove to Plymouth, which was about 76 miles away.  

  

We had a nice coffee on the harbour-side.

Then after a walk around we had some posh fish & chips.

 

Then home with just the right mileage :-)

Got my wife some daffodils.

And made a nice pork dinner.

With warmed pork scratching's  instead of crackling.

 

Day 3705 (21/02/2020)

Another busy day in the office and had a really useful meeting in the afternoon with Dave.

Day 3704 (20/02/2020)

It was busy day in the office but I was mostly recovering from the long drive yesterday.

Day 3703 (19/02/2020)

I was up early and had a long drive to Cambridge to give a talk at Anglia Ruskin University, which went quite well.

 

 

  

The had even arranged a buffet, loads of sandwiches but no cake :-(
 

The talk went well.

Then a long drive home, which was absolutely knackering.

Day 3702 (18/02/2020)

Another wet & windy day. Had a haircut and was busy getting ready for giving a talk in Cambridge tomorrow.

Day 3701 (17/02/2020)

Felt a bit rough today, possibly after drinking a bottle of Presseco yesterday :-)

Day 3699 & 3700 (15 & 16/02/2020)

We had a nice breakfast and then a drive around a very wet & windy Devon coast.

In the evening Gary & Elaine popped round and we had a nice Chinese takeaway.

On Sunday we went to Baby Shower in the afternoon, which was nice.
 

Day 3698 (14/02/2020)

Valentines Day and my wife made me a nice breakfast, with heart shaped crumpets :-)

After my wife came home we got ready and went for a romantic evening at the Dartbridge Inn.

The room was very nice but it was a bit annoying that they had double booked our table and had sold out of many of the items on the menu.

   

 

   

 

 

 

 
But we enjoyed ourselves as always.

Day 3697 (13/02/2020)

It was nice to not get up before 5am but it was a busy day catching up in the office.

The daffodils I got for my wife at the weekend have come out nicely.

Today I got her some flowers for Valentines Day as well.

Day 3696 (12/02/2020)

My alarm was set for 4:20am, which was about 5hrs early than I prefer but I had to fly to Belfast to give evidence at Court for a client, where it was cold with snow on the hills.

I could see the iconic cranes at Harland and Wolff from the court and then popped in to use the toilets at the nearby Hilton Hotel, where I spent numerous weeks staying when we used to do surveillance.

Then off to the airport for a 6hrs wait, which was broken by chatting to a documentary crew who were there with Kellie Maloney.

I hadn't eaten all day, so it was nice to get something at the airport.

Day 3695 (11/02/2020)

It was a stressful day, with the car breaking down on the way to a funeral, thankfully it was just out of water and over-heating, which i managed to sort out at Bridgwater services, where it was freezing.

I hate funerals, even if the funerals aren't sad, if they are for old people or for people who I didn't care about, I just really hate funerals and getting older doesn't make things easier.

I felt in the need of fish & chips in the evening, which was lovely.

Day 3694 (10/02/2020)

After a wet & windy weekend, its was still cold and awful and I was still full of a cold.

Had a few things to do but still popped out to the the library, where I had a nice bacon roll & a cuppa tea before saying hello to the PCC :-)

 

Hopefully I should now be home for valentines day as I have put Oman off for a couple of weeks.

Day 3692 & 3693 (08 & 09/02/2020)

The weekend but still full of a cold, so not doing much.

Made a nice curry in the evening.

On Sunday still full of a cold but a few bottles of lager helped.

Did a nice roast chicken dinner, with some nice brussel sprouts with bacon lardons.
