Day 5971 (09/05/2026)

It's our 39th Wedding Anniversary, and one of us has hardly changed, and the other has hardly grown up. 

Day 5970 (08/05/2026)

Officially its the first day of our holidays, well our days off anyway, as we are just getting everything ready today. 

At lunchtime we went to Sheppy's and shared a nice cheese & chive scone, with cream cheese & chilli jam, and a pot of tea and a slice of lemon & pistachio cake. 

In the evening we had some nice fish and chips, with curry sauce. 

Day 5969 (07/05/2026)

I had a few work things to do before getting ready to go away, so I spent the day in the office. 

Then in the evening we took my parents out to The Corner House to celebrate my Dad's Birthday. 

He seemed to enjoy it.   

Day 5968 (06/05/2026)

I took my wife to work, as I needed her car, as a had a few things to buy in town and then went to the gym. 

I am still a long way off my ideal weight or even my preferred fighting weight but I had lost another 2lb / 1kg since I weighed myself two weeks ago, and my blood pressure is getting back to normal after it went a bit high, which I think was down to an infection caused by my broken tooth.  

I hit a slight milestone, in as much as my BMI, has gone from the high 50's to now just being in the 30's. I know it is still way to high, but it is a load better. 

Did some work in the office in the afternoon, and we finished the Mexican when my wife came home, so didn't have dinner later. 

Day 5967 (05/05/2026)

It was a busy start to the day, as my wife's car had to be taken to the garage for a service and MOT.  Then home for breakfast and to do some work. 

In the afternoon, we went for a coffee, did another trip to the tip and picked up my wife's car, then home to cut the grass, tidy the garden and plant some flowers. 

In the evening we finished off the leftover salmon pasta. 

Day 5966 (04/05/2026)

It was a Bank Holiday Monday but my wife was working very early, so I was up fairly early, and was able to clear up some of the stuff in the garage, and then did a trip to the tip and then I was off to the gym.

Then home for lunch with my wife, having some leftover kedgeree. 

Then we watched some telly, and in the evening we had some left over moussaka. 

Day 5964 & 5965 (02 & 03/05/2026)

The weekend, with some articles to write and hopefully not much more to do.  We had a nice fried egg & bacon sandwich which was ice. 

After doing a few bits in the house, in the evening I made a nice Mexican, with baked haloumi enchiladas.

All very tasty. 

Sunday I saw my parents for breakfast, then came home to do some bits & pieces. Made a creamy salmon pasta dish when my wife came home from work. 

Very tasty. 

Day 5963 (01/05/2026)

May already, the year is just going so fast.

My mouth was still a bit saw but it is so much better not having the pain of a broken tooth.  I did some work and we went on a trip to to the tip, getting rid of more stuff from the garage.  

My wife made a lovely kedgeree in the evening.

Truly one of my favorites meals (and women).

Day 5962 (30/04/2026)

I was up early to do some work and managed to get into the dentists, to sort out my painful tooth. 

The dentists discovered it had split in two, and needed to be pulled out, which meant injections in my mouth, but I needed it doing, so eventually it came out.   

My mouth was numb for ages, hopefully it will be loads better now. 

It was a nice sunny day, so I decided to walk home from town, to make up for not going to the gym today, and probably wouldn't have done 18months ago, when I was considerably larger.

In the evening we had a nice and very soft to eat cheesy tuna pasta. 

Day 5961 (29/04/2026)

I was up early, as had an online training session, which went OK.  

I had a leftover wrap when my wife came home, so didn't really feel like dinner later.
