Day 6068 (14/08/2026)

It was an early morning, as I had to take my wife's car to the garage, to clear a warning light.  So I sat there waiting for a little, with a nice hot chocolate and some biscuits, for breakfast. The car was sorted without any problem, and they even washed and hovered the car before returning it.   

Then home, via stopping off to give my wife's car a bit of a charge. Then home for breakfast, then backout to take back a pair of shoes for my wife, which weren't quite what she thought she was ordering. Then back out to pick out a prescription for my wife. What a hero I have been.

Then I was doing some work in my office.  

Day 6067 (13/08/2026)

I did some work in the morning, then drove my wife to work, as I needed the car, as I had a blood donor session at lunchtime. 

The session was OK, but I'm not a fan of the new plastic wrapping on the Jacob (not McVitie's) Orange Club biscuits. 

Then home to do some more work, before picking my wife up, who made a nice Chinese meal in the evening. 

Day 6066 (12/08/2026)

It was an unexpected early start to the day, as we had a load of decking stuff turn up first thing, instead of after lunch, so I had to get up & read, and move our cars. 

Then I did some work, and then went off to the gym.

Then home, to do some work, and in the evening we tried to watch the Eclipse, but it was quite cloudy in Taunton. 

We just had some leftovers to eat in the evening. 

 

Day 6065 (11/08/2026)

I was up very early as my sleep apnoea machine was being very noisy, so I was off to the gym shortly after 7am, where it was nice and cool. 

And I charged my car. 

Then home to do some work and for brunch.

Then I stayed to do some work, whilst my wife & Thomas went our for a walk. 

My wife and Thomas got back, exhausted, so whilst they freshened up, I made dinner, doing some pizza's, which we eat in front of the telly, watching more Ferry. 

Day 6064 (10/08/2026)

I had to take my Mum to the eye clinic, so had my wife's car, dropping her at work first. As we finished nice and early at the clinic, I went to the gym in the afternoon before picking my wife up.

Then we had some leftover roast pork & lentils for an early dinner. 

Day 6062 & 6063 (08 & 09/08/2026)

The weekend and I was up doing some work, then we went off to Exeter to pick up our new car. 

Had a nice hot chocolate & biscuits whilst we did the paperwork. 

Then home in the new EV. 

And back to work in my office. 

In the evening I made a nice pea risotto, with stuff in the house and it was not too bad (it was lovely). 

With a lovely chilled glass of fizz.

Sunday morning I bought my wife some fresh flowers, and saw my parents for breakfast and did a few chores before making a nice roast pork, which was laid on a bed of lentils, with veggi lardons & spinach, with some honey roast carrots. 

Using the new chopper. 

With salmon for Thomas. 

And our very tasty roast pork. 

With a nice chilled glass of fizz. 

And some cheese & biscuits for supper (with the cheese from the Taunton Flower Show).

Day 6061 (07/08/2026)

We had won free tickets to the Taunton Flower Show, so after doing a few things at home in the morning we went off to Vivary Park.  We bought a few things, like some really nice Spanish Grating Plates. 

But we didn't buy the giant gnome. 

I had a very nice venison burger, whilst my wife had a really tasty feta & guacamole on a crumpet.  

And she did some wine tasting. 

And we bough a food chopper. Then had a nice coffee & cake. 

A lovely day, in the sun. 

Then home to recover, and we finished the Mexican off for dinner.
