Day 6150 (04/11/2026)

I did some work in the office in the morning, then my wife dropped me off in town on her way to work, as I had a hygienist appointment at the dentist, which went OK, although it was quite a bit more than I thought it was going to be.  Then I walked back, to save waiting for a bus, and to make up for not going to the gym.    

In the evening we finished off the shepherds pie.  

Day 6149 (03/11/2026)

We had a busy day, got ready and went off, first to Bridgwater to lay some flowers at Kim's on what would have been her 61st Birthday. 

We all still miss her so much. 

Then off to Cardiff to see our cousin in hospital, where they have the largest kerplunk and Connect 4

Then home, and had some pizza for dinner. 

Day 6148 (02/11/2026)

I'm feeling better but didn't get to go to the gym as had work to do.  In the evening I made a nice french onion soup for dinner. 

With giant cheesy croutons. 

Very tasty. 

Day 6146 & 6147 (31/10 & 01/11/2026)

We had a nice relaxing morning getting ready at the hotel, then had a nice brunch at the Visto Lounge in Torquay.   

Then a walk along the sea-shore. 

Then we went for a walk around Killerton, a National Trust property nearby. 

Then we had a nice cup of coffee and we shared an iced ginger bread ghost / man.   

On the way home we popped in and checked in on Thomas's new house. 

Then home, where we ordered some Gyros and sides from Doner & Gyros. 

Sunday and it is now November.

I saw my parents for breakfast, then went home and made a nice shepherds pie, with sliced potatoes  topping instead of mash, and a nice rice pudding.   

Then when my wife came home I cooked them all properly, for a very tasty dinner 

It was a bit dry, but not not too bad for a first attempt, and it was very tasty.
