I was up and out fairly early as I took my mum to the eye clinic.  Then got back for breakfast before collecting my Dad's car and taking it for a much needed wash, and then stored it on our drive, as I have booked it in for an MOT and then we need to pass it on.

We had a fairly relaxed afternoon and then my wife made tuna meatball for dinner. 

Day 6088 (03/09/2026)

I went to the gym first thing, then came home and tidied up the front and back gardens.   

There is lot to do to the garden, with setting up the patio set and planting new plants in the flower bad, but it is looking so much better, with the slabs relayed, and looking so much better. 

And the new decking, also from rotten and falling apart to all new and lovely.  

And new flower bed, also from rotten and falling apart to all new and lovely.   

In the evening we had some nice pasta.

Most of the decking is now done and starting to look very good. 

In the evening I made tasty coconut fish curry.

With saag paneer. 

All very lovely, with some chilled Indian lager.

Then we went out to Bridgwater, to lay some flowers at Kim's and then we did some shopping back in Taunton, including getting my wife some nice flowers.   

I did an old school prawn cocktail for starters. 

Seemed like the kids were enjoying themselves in Portsmouth.
