Day 3675 (21/01/2020)

A busy day in the office and had to pop out for a hair cut in the morning.

I needed that :-)

And then to the Doctors in the afternoon to deal with the stress of work over the last few weeks. 

Day 3674 (20/01/2020)

It was a very cold start to the day.

 

The rest of the day I was busy in the office but had to pop-out for a dentists appointment, which went well.

Day 3672 & 3673 (18 & 19/01/2020)

Thankfully its the weekend and I can rest a bit. It started with a very thick frost outside.

We had made plans to do quite a bit at the house this weekend but we had a slightly lazy time instead.

I made a paella in the evening, with some garlic bread.

Very tasty.

Sunday was another very frosty day, I even had to de-ice the handles before I could open doors to turn the engines on.

I got my wife some fresh flowers.

Made a nice pork chop dinner in the afternoon.

With pork scratchings warmed up instead of having crackling.

Very tasty.

Day 3671 (17/01/2020)

Hopefully I've suggested a way out of all of this stress but I doubt it will be that easy but I can't honestly take much more of dealing with him.

Day 3670 (16/01/2020)

And yet again another stressful day in the office :-(

Day 3669 (15/01/2020)

Another stressful day in the office :-(

Day 3668 (14/01/2020)

Another day of trying to sort things out in the office.

Day 3667 (13/01/2020)

A morning sorting out the my company, with a meeting at my accountants and then at the bank, which took me a while to do on the phone in the branch.

I'm wondering if I was supposed to back down, if so I'm guessing my partner is a bit surprised by my actions.

I have given him some options, if he doesn't see the sense in it then we will both lose out.

Day 3665 & 3666 (11 & 12/01/2020)

Home for the weekend, having a nice breakfast.

Then off to Bristol for Ester's 60th Birthday meal, which was very nice.

The food was quite tasty and was as follows, kombucha pickled pear, whipped goats cheese, rocket, brittle, goji/tahini dressing.

Then baked aubergine, fried plantain beetroot hummus, satay, spring onion.

 
Then thai ceviche tacos with mango salsa (which were very messy).

Then jerk chicken with beetroot risotto and thyme salsa.

Then date falafel, chocolate cinnamon sauce, pistachio/mint sweet pesto, fruit salad.

Then we had ice-cream made gorgonzola cheese, jalapeno peppers and pears, odd but tasty.

My wife was off on Sunday, so it was nice to spend some time together and I did a cheats quick roast chicken dinner in the evening.
 

Day 3664 (10/01/2020)

The last day of the course and then a long drive home.

Day 3663 (09/01/2020)

It was a busy morning as I had to give a talk to students before doing the course and the students kept talking, so I told them they were rude and used my scary face to get them to shut-up. The Uni were upset with their behaviour, so nice that I handled it well.

Then off to do my course and then in the evening we went out for some food, which was tasty, and quite a few drinks.

Also we had time to chat and discuss a few ideas, which meant I was a bit more positive than how I felt yesterday. 

Day 3662 (08/01/2020)

The course was going OK but slightly distracted because of the actions of my business partner, who is being a pain.

So in the evening I stayed in the hotel for dinner again.

 

Day 3661 (07/01/2020)

The course seems to be going OK and in the evening I stayed at the hotel for dinner as I had a few things to do.

 

Day 3660 (06/01/2020)

Started the day with a nice breakfast at the hotel and then off for the course for the day.

In the evening I met up with a friend who lives nearby, which was nice as was the meal we had at an Italian I go to every time I'm up here :-)

 

Day 3658 & 3659 (04 & 05/01/2020)

The weekend and I was up early to send a few emails and to finish off some work.

Also taking Thomas back today, its been nice having him home for a few weeks.

Started with a nice breakfast.

Then took Thomas back and had a nice meal in Prezzo in Bournemouth before leaving him.

 

 

Sunday was busy getting ready to drive up north but I had time to do a cheats lamb shank dinner, which was OK.

 

Then up North and into a hotel I've stayed at quite a few time now. 

Day 3657 (03/01/2020)

Finally updated all of the training material and ready for the next few weeks.

Have a few ideas for the upcoming few years.

Day 3656 (02/01/2020)

Still busy at work preparing for the upcoming training courses.

Day 3655 (01/01/2020)

New Years Day and time for my new Kylie calendar.

Well I was quite happy in the morning but quickly checked my emails before brunch and was somewhat annoyed by an email from my business partner.

It is true to say that if I could turn back time to 2015 I would definitely make a few different business decisions. Anyway what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Saw my parents in the afternoon and had a pizza in the evening.
