Day 5956 (24/04/2026)

Up fairly early and into the office to do some work.

Day 5955 (23/04/2026)

A busy day in the office, with research work to do, some articles to write and training to prepare for.

In the afternoon I cleaned some more of the garden, and set up the table and chairs for the summer.

I will definitely get the house and garden done this year and spend more time enjoying it all.

We had some leftover pizza when my wife came home, so in the evening I was quite full, so just had a burger and not all of the chips and stuff.

Day 5954 (22/04/2026)

Back to work and back at the gym.

Put some more cleaning fluid down on the patio.

My wife was going out with some work friends in the evening, so bough me & Thomas the world biggest pizzas for dinner, which was started but clearly were never going to get thru. Even old me would have struggled.

Day 5953 (21/04/2026)

Tuesday was a busy day, I was up and out fairly early, first to my Mum & Dads to sort out his printer (again), then off to the tip and storage unit, then off to charge the car and go to the gym.

Life will be a lot easier and an awful lot cheaper when we have our home charger fitted, but I am quite impressed at how easy it is to charge the car, especially when you can just plug it in and go to the gym for an hour, and its then all done when you finish.

Then home to have a quick shower and then go out with my wife for a few things, and a little lunch at the garden center, sharing a very nice cheese scone, and a flapjack.

Then back home to do some work, and have some pasta in the evening.

Day 5952 (20/04/2026)

Back to work, with lots to do to prepare for next weeks training.

We finished off the creamy potato & fennel and sausages when my wife came home from work, which meant I was too full for actual dinner in the evening, so just had some leftovers of the kebab stuff.

Day 5950 & 5951 (18 & 19/04/2026)

The weekend is here, and I had a relaxing start to the day, doing some work in the office, then had a nice brunch.

Then started to clean some of the patio, with the cleaning fluid I bought, which seemed quite strong.

I then went off to Tesco's, put my car on a short slow charge and bough some things for dinner.

in the evening I made some tasty vegi kebab type things.

All very nice, with a lovely G&T.

On Sunday I was down the patio after using the cleaning fluid, and it has started to come up quite nice.

Then I went out, I couldn't get my car on a charger at Tesco's, which was slightly annoying, so after visiting my Mum & Dad for breakfast, I went up to Wellington and gave it a 15 minute charge, so Thomas wouldn't have any trouble getting to work and back.

I made a nice dinner, with a potato & fennel, in a (vegi) cream & cheese sauce, with pork chops (vegi sausages for Thomas) and some veg.

Very tasty, with a nice chilled glass (or two) of pinot.

Day 5949 (17/04/2026)

It was a busy day, did some work in the office in the morning, then I had to pick my old car up from the garage and although they changed lots of bits and charged me £500, it wasn't much better but was OK enough to drive to WeBuyAnyCar and sell it, after owning it for over 6years.

Then we went to have lunch at The Worlds End, which was very nice.

I went for the New Yorker, with chicken bacon & BBQ sauce.

While Mrs Smith had a Tuna Mayo.

All very tasty.

Then we popped in to see my parents, then went home a booked a holiday in Amsterdam. We weren't very hungry in the evening, so didn't have dinner, just a cup of tea and bagel with some jam, which was nice.

Day 5948 (16/04/2026)

Working in the the office and no gym today, as I was giving an online presentation today, to a bit of an international group.

It seemed to go quite well, but went on a bit longer than I was expeting as they did 30minutes of questions at the end.

We finished the pizza off in the evening.

Day 5947 (15/04/2026)

It started as a nice sunny day but by lunchtime it was pouring down. I was doing some work in the office, then took my wife to work in the new car, so I could go to the gym but charge the car opposite, for the hour I was at the gym, which was just enough to get it all the way to 100%.

We had pizza in the evening.

Day 5946 (14/04/2026)

My wife was out visiting friends, on a girls jolly, I did some work in the office, and went to the gym.

I had a tasty sandwich when I got back, and so in the evening I didn't really fancy much, and my wife had had a nice lunch out with Karen & Sarah, so we just had a cheesy scone each, which was nice.
