Day 6055 & 6056 (01 & 02/08/2026)

August already, where does the time go. 

We had a nice sleep at the hotel and got ready and then made our way to Chepstow for lunch at Panevino, an Italian restaurant, with Gary & Elaine for her Birthday.  

A great setting a Some really tasty food. 

We shared an afters. 

But Gary and Elaine didn't :-)

Then we had a walk around Chepstow. 

Then drove off to Bristol, to have a lovely evening with family, and some very tasty food.  

Lovely food and lovely company, then home to recover.  

Sunday, at home, so did my calendar, then went off to see my parents for breakfast. 

When my wife came home, I did a nice salad for dinner. 

And started doing my Lego whilst working. 

Day 6054 (31/07/2026)

A day off and we were off to Bristol, but the traffic was awful. We stopped off at Cash Converters in Bedminster on the way, to get rid of some golf clubs, which sold but not for much, however that's more room in the house / garage / storage unit. Next it will be guitars and linked things. 

Then we booked into our room and walked across the centre to Six By Nico for the Amalfi Coast menu, for my Birthday, along with the matching wine. 

All very tasty and very lovely evening.

We stopped for a coffee on the way back. 

Then back to the hotel to sleep it all off. 

Day 6053 (30/07/2026)

 Back in the office and back at the gym.

And they came back and finished off the patio, which is looking very nice. 

We finished off the pasta in the evening, in-between innings (work). 

Day 6052 (29/07/2026)

Back to the gym in the morning, as I had things to do in the office later.  

They still haven't quite finished with the patio, but it is looking good. 

We had a nice cheesy tuna pasta in the evening. 

Day 6051 (28/07/2026)

I went to the gym first thing.

Then back for breakfast and then out to test drive another EV.  

For a big car, it was  real shame that the boot on the Jaecoo wasn't bigger, so we will be getting another 5008 but the EV version, which isn't quite as roomy and nice and the ice one, but it's my wife's car, so her choice. 

We had the leftover curry in the evening.
