Day 2606 (16/02/2017)

Still working but went to the gym, upstairs for an actual workout.


I even did some sit-ups.

Not dead yet but slightly knackered.



Day 2605 (15/02/2017)

Still waiting for BT to do something.


The copper line broadband is just about workable to download things but when I upload a photo to the blog or try to email a report to someone it takes ages.  There are times I have had to leave my computer on overnight just to upload something or sync with work.

The thought of this carrying-on for the next few months is not good.

I went to the gym but the pool was busy, so I waited until it was empty enough for me to swim but then loads people came in and made it unbearable, so I left before I killed one.

Day 2604 (14/02/2017)

It was valentines day which started with a very nice breakfast, eggs benedict.


My wife's flowers also came out today.


Plus we got a gift from our cleaner Ann, who knows how much my wife likes gnomes and how much I don't.


In the evening we went out to Tristan for a nice meal.










A very nice night out.



Day 2603 (13/02/2017)

Just another day, working in the office, going for a swim, having fruit and then doing more work.

Day 2601 & 2602 (11 & 12/02/2017)

No lie-in and nice breakfast this morning as my wife went to her mothers this morning. I spent the day catching up on emails.

I also had the largest hot chocolate possible, quite nice.


Made a nice meal in the evening.


Sushi for starters followed by crab & chilli ravioli.


Sunday was a back to normal with work in the office and then dinner.

I bought some flowers but I'm beginning to wonder if they will actually flower.


Did a nice prawn & avocado for starters and a pork loin for mains.

 

A nice weekend of food.



Day 2600 (10/02/2017)

Another day another hour spent on the phone to BT but this morning it was to my personal complaint handler who was frankly embarrassed at my treatment and agreed that it might actually be quicker and easier for me to move than wait for fibre broadband been reconnected to my house.

Oh good.

Went to the gym fort another swim, so that's another week with daily swimming session, and around 125 lengths swum.

Nice fruit & yogurt for lunch.


In the afternoon my BT broadband came to life, which surprised my personal complaint handler, who couldn't understand why that happened.

Whilst it's nice to have Internet back to my house it is actually bad for a few reasons.

Firstly its ADSL not Fibre, so the speed is pathetic and not good enough for our requirements.


Secondly it confirms that my fibre has defiantly now been disconnected and seeing as the local exchange was full with a waiting list, I suspect that my connection has now been given to someone else and there is no date for it to be upgraded.

What f**king joy.

Day 2599 (09/02/2017)

Another day another changer in plan by BT about when I will be online, at this rate I might just move house and start again.

Sort of busy with work but catching up.

I went for a swim at lunchtime and as I had to pay some cheques in i bought some lunch for me and my wife.


Very tasty, nearly as nice as bowl of fruit :-)

Day 2598 (08/02/2017)

I was up early (ish) to send some emails and then go off to Bristol for a meeting with some old friends who are going to be doing some training for us. I had met them before but today was to introduce them to the Director of Training and to actually talk about the structure of courses etc.

We had one meeting the morning and one after lunch, so had lunch at the hotel we were meeting at, which was quite nice.


I then drove home and went straight to the gym for a swim before going home for dinner and to catch up on my work.

Another late night.

Day 2597 (07/02/2017)

Really busy with work and really pissed off that BT are now saying it might  be the 20th of February until I get connected to the internet.




Day 2596 (06/02/2017)

A busy day in the office but still time for a swim and some fruit for lunch.





Day 2594 & 2595 (04 & 05/02/2017)

A fairly busy weekend, which started with some nice pancakes and fruit.



I was still working late into the evening so made a quick spaghetti bolognese, which was quite tasty.


On Sunday it was a bit rushed and there was no Sunday roast as we went to Bristol to have a family discussion about my mother-in-law.

As we needed dinner we stopped off at a harvester for a quick dinner.




Quite tasty but not a Sunday roast with a bottle of Pinot.

Has a coffee & a custard slice when we got home.

Day 2593 (03/02/2017)

Eventually the start day for my new BT fibre contract, so it was with excitement I went to collect my new router when I went out for my swim.



Then imagine my disappointment when it didn't work (it should have a blue light not a purple one) because BT had fucked up and my broadband was put down to start on the 8th and even if they ask Openreach to extradite it as an emergency it won't be until the 7th.


USELESS FUCKING CUNTS!!!!!!!!!!



Day 2592 (02/02/2017)

A busy day but I managed to go swimming and then have lunch at the gym.


A very tasty tuna & cheese panini, with a banana and a capri-sun.

Then I drove to London for a Directors Meeting at the Civil Service Club (I couldn't take the train as it was going to go on too late).




Then we went for dinner at a nearby Prezzo, where I had a fairly small lasagna.


Then a long drive back home in the early hours.

Day 2592 (01/02/2017)

February already, so a fresh picture of Kylie.


I went for another swim, where I have continued a new routine, where I swim 24 lengths. On the way out I saw the binmen crash into the gym wall and attempt to ignore it but they have held me up for the last few weeks by blocking the entrance whilst they empty bins, so obviously I photographed it and called the staff from the gym so they could challenge them.


Then back home for my 5 a day.


Used the left over lamb shank with some rice and vegetables with some chow mein sauce.


Very tasty.


Day 2591 (31/01/2017)

A busy sort of day as we had lots to cram in before going up to Bristol but it started with a nice bacon sandwich.

I went for swim and then came back to have some fruit.


Then we went up to Bristol for my mother-in-law's birthday.


What a tiring even and quite sad really.

Day 2590 (30/01/2017)

Busy in the office then out for a swim & a steam.

Then back for healthy fruit lunch.


Went to see my Mum for her birthday in the afternoon.


Their conservatory is looking good.


Then in the evening made a nice lamb shank dinner.
