Day 5922 & 5923 (21 & 22/03/2026)

It was nice to have a weekend, when I didn't do much work. I was up early, as Thomas was off for a walk on Exmore with some friends.

I started going thru some books, seeing which ones I could sell, and which ones were going to charity, and was able to get rid of two small boxes for a few quid. It is a start and if I can get the stuff that won't sell to the charity shop this week, then I will be a bit of a result. 

I made some bacon sandwiches for brunch, then we went outside to start tidying the garden after the winter which was tyring but rewarding. 

Day 5921 (20/03/2026)

Friday and I had a some work to finish in the office, then I took some more stuff to the storage unit.  

The storage unit is filling up and the garage is getting empty, I will get some quotes soon from builders to convert the garage and start getting our house renovated. We must also start going thru a lot of these thing and put some of it in the tip, and some of it in charity shops, I doubt (hope) that we will keep that much, as we don't need it.

In the evening we had some fish & chips from the fish & chip shop, which were lovely. 

Day 5920 (19/03/2026)

Another busy day in the office but the day started finishing off the pancakes, yoghurt and fruit.

Then off to the gym, and added to my usual routine.   

I picked up my wife from work and we had a quick pasty, chips and beans, before going to the Brewhouse to see Ivo Graham, who was really funny.  

Day 5919 (18/03/2026)

A busy day in the office, and no gym, giving my arm a chance to recover.  Had one of the leftover pancakes and fruit from the weekend for breakfast. 

And some nice pasta in the evening. 

Day 5918 (17/03/2026)

It was  a busy day, with an early morning Doctors appointment, then home for breakfast. 

And then off to give blood after lunch. 

Really I only go for a nice relax and the Jacobs Orange club biscuit. 

Then home for a nice Afternnoon Tea, with my wife's scones & cream from Lee.

Very nice, and just what I needed after giving blood. 

Then in the late afternoon / early evening, we went to the cinema to see Mothers Pride, which was quite funny, and worth seeing.

Then home to finish of the Mexican, with some nachos. 

Day 5917 (16/03/2026)

Back to work and back to the gym, early, as I had to take my Dad to the eye clinic in the afternoon.   

Lee went home at lunchtime.

In the evening we finished off the vodka rigatoni. 

Day 5915 & 5916 (14 & 15/03/2026)

It was a nice relaxing morning and brunch. 

We fancied trying Mexican and although I was very happy to cook, we decided to go out together and try somewhere new, in Weston-Super-Mare, which someone at Thomas's work had recommended, although it was a bit cooler & windier than I was expecting (WSM not the Mexican).   

The Mexican, Loco Mexicano, was veery nice with some fun drinks and tasty food.  

We may have over ordered on the starters but they were very tasty. 

Tasty mains, but two of them were taken home in a doggy bag. 

And a few tasty afters to share.

Sunday, we had a relaxing start and a nice brunch. 

Then we picked up my parents for a nice Mothers Day meal at the Cricket Club, which was Ok but not great.  

That afters looked a lot better than it tasted. 

 

Then back to Mum & Dad's for a tea and a catch-up. 

Day 5914 (13/03/2026)

Friday the 13th, and nothing too bad has happened so far. 

Well I say that but I have had two really annoying things happen.  Locate was definitely a joint effort between me and Dave, it would be nowhere near it is now if neither me nor Dave was involved to the extent we were.  So it really bugs me when I see other people post messages saying how Dave created Locate and how it was all his idea, as it certainly isn't how I remember it, and to be more than fair Dave, who I will always owe a debt to, isn't what he says, as I know he valued what I did. It sort of shows all that I did, as to how little they have achieved since I left.

I always say things are a team effort, even when I know on some cases it was all my own hard work,  so I do find it really annoying how I am often written out of the history of things. 

Anyway, we had some nice sushi for lunch.

Then I made a nice vodka rigatoni in the evening as Lee was here for the weekend. 

Very tasty, but maybe just a touch too much chilli.
