Day 6001 (08/06/2026)

It was a somewhat busy day, and not exactly expected.  Firstly, quite early BT turned up, without notice to dig up the driveway, to fit the new fibreoptic cable for our internet. Thankfully I was in, and able to move my wife's car, so they could carry on. 

They did a good job, now we just have to wait for the fibreoptic connection to be fitted inside the house.  

Whilst BT were here, the boiler man, who was expected in the afternoon, turned up in the morning. That was OK but he couldn't park on the drive, due to BT working on it, which was a pain for him but he was OK and the boiler was repaired and serviced. 

I did some work during the day. We had some leftover pate when my wife came home and then in the evening she did burgers.  

Day 5999 & 6000 (06 & 07/06/2026)

I was up early Saturday, as someone was coming round to quote for doing some work in the garden, then I was off to the Brewhouse for a writing course, called  How to Plan a Murder, run by a local author, called Jo Middleton.

It was a fun day and got me back into the mood to write, which was the aim.

Plus I had a very nice bagel (New Yorker) for lunch. 

In the evening we had a nice spread of cheese and pate's for dinner. 

Sunday I saw my parents for breakfast, and bought my wife some nice tulips.

Then home to do a few chores and watch the motor racing.  We finished a few things off for starters when my wife came home.

Then in the evening I made a nice lamb for us, and veggi-lamb kofta's for Thomas, kebab things, with some tasty veg and sides.

Very nice, with a chilled shandy. 

Day 5998 (05/06/2026)

We had a relaxing morning, then I went to do some shopping, buying some nice sushi for lunch.  

In the evening I made a nice creamy mixed seafood pasta. 

With nice Avocado Caprese Salad.

And some nice bread. 

With a lovely chilled bottle of fizzy Kylie. 

Day 5997 (04/06/2026)

Spent some time in the office, then at the storage unit and then back at the gym.

Had some nice fish cakes in the evening. 

And Thomas came back from Spain, quite late but it seemed like he had a good time and did quite a few things in a fairly short break. 

Day 5996 (03/06/2026)

I did a bit in the office in the morning but not doing much work at the moment, which is really nice,  then I was back at the gym.

We finished the pie with some chips in the evening.

Seems like Thomas is having a good time in Spain, whilst Lee is at Centre Parcs. 

Day 5995 (02/06/2026)

The garden looking nice and as it had rained it didn't need watering. 

We had a nice brunch. 

It was a funny day weather wise, with hot sun, then crazy rain, which was a bit sandy, which was quite annoying as we were having both car's valeted, by JW Valeting.   

They looked very nice afterwards, it will be a shame to use them and make them messy again. 

Thomas then went off to the airport for a few days in Spain, and we popped into town, then home for dinner, with a nice Christmas pie & veg.

 

Day 5994 (01/06/2026)

June already.

I started the day by cutting the grass and tidying and watering the garden, then did some work in the office, whilst it rained heavily for the rest of the day. 

Had the leftover Mexican in the evening.
