Day 6117 (02/10/2026)

I woke quite early, so did some stuff on the computer, then went to the gym before breakfast. 




Day 6116 (01/10/2026)

It's October already, so time for a new picture of Kylie.  



I wasn't feeling great, so didn't go to the gym today, did some work in the office in the morning, ad some crumpets, then met up with Dave for a coffee and catch-up, which is always good. 



Then in the evening, finished off the leftovers from Sunday. 






Day 6115 (30/09/2026)

It was another full on day, for travel and emotions, with today being at a funeral in Bristol, for our sister-in-laws mother.   






I hate funerals, even when they are a celebration of someones life, I find them too emotional, so am always amazed that any family member can hold it together enough to speak, I know I never could. 

The wake was at Woodford Lodge at Chew Valley Lake, which was nice. 



Then home via, Stoke Sub Hamdon, to give someone a lift home, and a nice vegan pasta dinner made by Thomas.  





Day 6114 (29/09/2026)

I went to the gym early, and then did a quick bit of work. 


Then we got ready and went to Cardiff to visit a relative in hospital, which was emotional but worth it. 


Then home and we had some pizza.  






Day 6113 (28/09/2026)

I went to the gym first thing.



Then when my wife went to work, I went and tidied the garden, and did a bit more with the flower bed, and used nearly all of the compost and bark we had bought last week.   


In the evening I did the leftover chicken, with chips and (lots of) beans, which was really nice.

The weekend, and time to catchup with a few things in the office, as I have had a few large research jobs in recently, and been busy with them.  


We had a nice brunch. 



Then the three of us popped out, and ended up having a coffee & cake in a garden centre.  




Then home to do some stuff, before making a nice chicken, chips and salad in the evening.  


On Sunday I saw my parents for breakfast, then came home to do some work, covering another cricket game, the last of the season. 

Then I made a tasty roast pork, with a cheesy & creamy potato and fennel thing, with carrots & spinach, which I love.



With some nice veggie sausages for Thomas. 





Very tasty, and with a nice chilled glass of wine. 







Day 6110 (25/09/2026)

I went to the gym first thing, then did a few chores.



Then we got ready and drove to Gary & Elaine's on a journey that should have taken about 80minutes but took around 3hours, due to awful traffic on the M5. 

We had a great time, as always, and a tasty veggie tagine.  



We stayed later than we intended, then had an awful trip back, as the M5 was closed for 3 junctions. 





Day 6109 (24/09/2026)

I went to the gym first thing, then had a few chores to do around the house.
