Day 5566 & 5567 (29 & 30/03/2025)

After a nice nights sleep, we had a nice breakfast at the hotel.




Then had a walk along the sea-front.



On the beach there was a man making circular art by hand using a rake, which was very clever. 

  


Then we had a walk thru the gardens, where you had to use contactless to use the toilets. 



Then we had a slow drive back, stopping at Plant World, for a nice walk amongst the plants.

Day 5565 (28/03/2025)

A busy morning, doing things, then packing and getting ready for an evening away, back in Torquay.  We had a different at the hotel, not quite as nice as the last one, then we went out for an Italian at Amici, which was very nice, starting with a lovely cocktail, of Limoncello Margherita (an Italian twist on the classic margherita, limoncello shaken with tequila & lime juice, strained into a salted glass).   




Then we had some nice food and drink.





And we shared an afters and had a coffee.



Then we had a Limoncello and went back to the hotel to recover, after maybe a bit too much to drink.

Day 5564 (27/03/2025)

A bit busy at work and my new office chair arrived, as my old chair had definitely seen better days.  



It was exhausting taking the old one apart and putting the new one together but it's nice to have a proper seat again. 


We had a nice macaroni cheese in the evening. 






Day 5563 (26/03/2025)

A busy day in the office doing a few jobs for clients, so didn't go to the gym.  My new shredder arrived, which is a bit smaller and quieter than the last one.



Hopefully it won't get blocked up as easily.


We had spam fritters for diner, which we quite nice.

Day 5562 (25/03/2025)

We had a nice brunch.



Then more work & tidying, and more time at the gym. 



We had a pizza in the evening. 





Day 5561 (24/03/2025)

Work & tidying at home. Annoyingly I realised that I had broken my shredder when it had clogged it up and I had tried to fix it, so I had to order a new one and thought I might as well get a new office chair as the old one is a few years old and has definitely seen better days.    


Back at the gym in the afternoon. 






Day 5559 & 5560 (22 & 23/03/2025)

The weekend and relaxing now, after a busy few months. We had some egg & sausage sandwiches for brunch.



I did a bit tidying & shredding then in the evening we had a very nice Chinese takeaway. When the man delivered it, he was carrying a large box, which always looks bad, but then he said “someone’s having a party tonight then” I couldn’t tell him it was just the three of us and a normal Saturday :-)




Sunday I saw my parents for breakfast then home, to more shredding. In the evening we finished off the Chinese (so actually there wasn't that much food as it lasts for a few days & a few meals).

Day 5558 (21/03/2025)

Work & tidying the office, going thru loads of things, some more than 20years old, showing how different life was back in those days. As an example, I came across a load of Certificates for buying & owning domain names. I had forgotten they even used to supply those as standard, certainly not had then for the last 15 years. So shredding loads.


We had some nice sushi for lunch, then in the evening we had nice fish & chips, as it was Friday Fish Day. 






Day 5557 (20/03/2025)

I've been writing this week, which is good but there is so much to do.


Had the left over aubergine hotpot in the evening. 





Day 5556 (19/03/2025)

At work, and tidying up a bit, then off to the gym. 



I did some more work in the afternoon. My wife a aubergine hotpot in the evening, which was interesting.
