Day 5876 (03/02/2026)

We had a nice brunch, and then had a few chores to do. 

Then we went of to the tip and the storage unit, before having a coffee and sharing a cake. 

I bought my wife some daffodils, which have come out nicely.  

My wife made an interesting and tasty dahl in the evening. 

Day 5875 (02/02/2026)

Lee left in the morning for their course, then I was back to work, as I have quite a bit coming in at the moment. 

Then we had an early dinner, finishing off the Mexican and then online for the University stuff.  

Day 5873 & 5874 (31/01 & 01/02/2026)

We were up early and all out with Thomas to look at some flats in Portishead, which were very nice nice but slightly out of range at the moment.  Then we went off to Bristol, to do a few things and to lay some flowers on Mary's grave on what would have been her Birthday. 

Then we went home, I got my wife some flowers.

Then I started making a nice Mexican dinner for when Lee arrived for the weekend.   

It was all very tasty, and great to all be together.  

Sunday, and it is February already. 

We had a quick breakfast, before getting ready to go out.  

It was great to all be together and have a lovely Sunday Roast at The Corner House for my Mum's Birthday. 

It was all very tasty. 

Then back to Birthday Cake. 

What a lovely day. 

Day 5872 (30/01/2026)

Another very wet day in Taunton, it was a busy morning doing some work, then we picked my parents up to take them out for my Mum's Birthday. 

Just for a change I went for a stake, whilst everyone else had something fishy.  

Unfortunately the motorway was closed & Bristol had ground to a halt, so Gary & Elaine couldn't come down, as we had a lovely time but we arranged to all go out on Sunday instead. 

We shared a small in the evening. 

Day 5871 (29/01/2026)

Yet another wet day and I'm busy with work. 

I had a nice jacket potato in the evening, swamped with cheese, coleslaw and salad. 

Day 5870 (28/01/2026)

Another wet day in Taunton, busy in the office, still getting over my cold. 

We had a nice Spanish chicken less chicken in the evening. 

Day 5869 (27/01/2026)

Woke up and thankfully it had stopped raining but there was quite a bit of flooding around Taunton, with many of the roads closed and not passable. We had a nice brunch, then got ready to do a few chores.

Then we had a nice lunch at Sheppy's, for a coffee & a cannoli, and shared a chicken gyros, which was really nice. 

We had a nice pasta dish in the evening. 

Day 5868 (26/01/2026)

Back to work in a wet & windy Taunton. 

We finished off the soup when my wife came home after work, then I was online for the University. 

Day 5866 & 5867 (24 & 25/01/2026)

The weekend and I was up as normal, doing some work. We had some frozen / defrosted croissants for brunch. 

In the evening I did some bits & pieces, so we could have some chicken wraps, which was tasty. 

I saw my parents on Sunday morning, then came home and made a tasty broccoli & cheddar soup for later. I may have made too much (again) so had a large mugful for lunch. 

Obviously had to do serve it with my signature giant cheesy croutons. 

Really tasty. 

Day 5865 (23/01/2026)

Another wet awful day. I made awful scrambled eggs for brunch, I mist make them properly next time or leave it to my wife.   

At least I made a nice face out of it. 

Did some stuff around the house during the day and made cheesy tuna pasta in the evening. 

Day 5864 (22/01/2026)

Woke up feeling so much better. 

Did some work and got some new clippers, so had a haircut and a nice shower, so I felt even better. 

My wife made a Chinese in the evening.

Day 5863 (21/01/2026)

Woke up very very early and felt awful, quite ill.

Tried doing a bit of work but spent most of the day laying on the couch, relaxing.  Hardly ate a thing, so on the plus side, it helped my diet. 

Day 5862 (20/01/2026)

Had a nice brunch and did some work.

We had pizza in the evening.

I didn't feel great in the night :-(
