Day 5492 (14/01/2025)

It was nice not to be woken by the fire alarm. Had breakfast.

Then off to the Uni for the course.  I had a chili for lunch.

And jacket potatoes for dinner.

  

Day 5491 (13/01/2025)

It was a very start to the day, as the fire alarm went off at 6:45am, which was most annoying but i stayed in bed. Eventually I got up and ready and had breakfast.

Then off to the University for this weeks course.

I had a jacket potato for lunch.

And a burger for dinner.

Day 5489 & 5490 (11 & 12/01/2025)

The weekend at it was time for a lie-in and a relax. Then a lovely brunch.

I had work to catch-up with, then we had a curry in the evening. 

Sunday and it was nice to wake up with frost on the ground and the cars. I saw my parents for breakfast, then hope to finish my work before going back to Preston. 

We finished off the curry.

Then I drove back up to Preston, this week getting a rom on the third floor. .

Day 5488 (10/01/2025)

Last day of the course, so was up early as had to checkout of the hotel. Time for breakfast and another walk in the ice.

Another quick lunch.

Then after the course a long drive home, which started badly, with the ice-scrapper breaking, whilst I was trying to get 5 days of ice & snow off the car. 

I had a stop off on the way home for me to refuel. 

Then home to relax. 

Day 5487 (09/01/2025)

 It snowed overnight, so after breakfast, it was another challenging walk to the training room.

The course is going OK, but I am ready for a break by lunchtime.

It was too cold to think about walking out tonight, so I stayed at the hotel and had jacket potatoes again.

And some sticky toffee pudding. 

Day 5486 (08/01/2025)

 It was a very cold start to the day, so after breakfast, I had a very slippery and scary walk to the training room.

The course is going OK, given all of the issues, but I was ready for a drink and my lunch. 

After the course, it was another slippery walk back, which a shock and means it will be doubly slippery in the morning. As it was so bad out, I stayed at the hotel again and had some tasty jacket potatoes.

And a nice brownie. 

Day 5485 (07/01/2025)

 It was another early morning, so had breakfast and went to the venue, on some very slippery / icy pavements.

The course went OK and I had a sandwich and cake for lunch but forgot to take any pictures. In the evening I stayed at the hotel again, and had a chicken burger, with chips & onion rings, with a couple of corona’s.

I may have to walk outside tomorrow evening. 

Day 5484 (06/01/2025)

 An early start, to get ready for the course, starting the day with some nice breakfast.

Then off to the University, where there was still some snow around the place. 

I had a chilli for lunch.

It was a full day, so back to the hotel to relax. I stayed in for dinner. I always stay at the same hotel when at the University in Preston and every year there is less on the menu, thankfully they still do the gammon, eggs & chips, with a few extra onion rings and a couple of bottles of Corona, as it seems to end up my meal of choice, as I can’t be bothered to walk outside and go to a restaurant

Day 5482 & 5483 (04 & 05/01/2025)

Another frosty start to the day. Thomas was well enough for work.

The Kylie calendar is finally in place, but has some strange pictures. 

We finished off the kippers for breakfast and relaxed a bit. 

In the evening we ordered a Chinese, which was really nice. 

On Sunday I saw my parents for breakfast, then picked up their car to borrow for work, then home to pack for Preston.  

When my wife came home we had a quick plate of left over Chinese.

Then a long drive in the dark and the rain to Preston, where I had the same room as last year.
