Day 5908 & 5909 (07 & 08/03/2026)

We had a nice lie-in at the hotel, then had a nice brunch after checking-out.  

Then we had a walk along the beach, at Torquay and then Paignton.  

On the way home we stopped off for a coffee at a National Trust place.  

Then home, where I made a nice Jamie Oliver meal.

Quite tasty, and with a nice salad and some ciabatta.

Sunday we saw my parents for breakfast, then later I made a James Martin inspired meal, with roast cod, with gnocchi and cavolo nero in a creamy sauce.  

Very tasty. 

Day 5907 (06/03/2026)

I had a day off with my wife, and we had arranged to go to Torquay to relax, as we were able to get a really good deal on a room at the PremierInn. 

Had a lovely meal at the Globe.  

Had some lovely cocktails. 

Then had some really tasty Harissa Glazed Corn Ribs (chargrilled corn ribs glazed in honey & spicy harissa served with tahini, preserved lemon & zaatar labneh dip) for starters. 

Honey & Mustard Pork Belly.

Devon Steak & Stilton Pie. 

Baked Dubai Cheesecake.

A very lovely evening.

Day 5906 (05/03/2026)

A quieter day in the office, catching up. 

In the evening we had a nice chickpea curry that my wife made.

Day 5905 (04/03/2026)

A busy day, starting with a bit of work, then the gym, where i saw one of my old fans, which I had given them.  

Then home to freshen up. 

My wife's flowers have come out nicely. 

Then off to London on the train for a conference event.

At least I got a seat for the whole journey this time. 

At Paddington there was some advertising PR thing by GWR but at least I got to see Isy Suttie and Dan Skinner, who apparently do a GWR sponsored travel podcast.   

Then on the tube over to Market Halls on Oxford Street, where I had a tasty Mexican before the event. 

All very tasty. 

Then for the event, where it was good to catch-up with a few old faces and a few new ones.  

Then back on the train nice and early.
