Day 2861 (30/10/2017)

Another week with work to do.

I hadn't been to the gym for a couple of weeks as we had been away and busy but I went back today for a workout.


Then me & my wife raked up about a third of the leaves in the back garden before the green bin was over flowing.



I might take the evening off as the gym took it out of me :-(

Day 2859 & 2860 (28 & 29/10/2017)

A busy day in the office but has a nice breakfast of egg & bacon rolls to start the day.


I made a quick Italian in the evening and watched (slept thru) the telly afterwards.

On Sunday we went for breakfast at my Mum & Dads and then I made a nice roast for dinner later.





Day 2858 (27/10/2017)

It was a busy day for a few reasons.

As well as trying to catch-up doing some work I have finally ended my legal action against a couple of nasty police forces for breach of my copyright, the thieving gits.

They didn't admit liability but did give me a reasonable sized wad of cash. Not quite enough money to cover what I had spent fighting the lying corrupt bastards but I'm happy plus it leaves me free to fight my other cases, which are more pension related and will be cheaper to fight and potentially will be much more rewarding.

Also Thomas was in hospital for a few tests.


They didn't discover anything but took a few samples to test, which was good but hopefully they will find something simple that is causing him his problems.

As Thomas had been unable to eat for 24hrs we let him chose dinner and he went for Dominoes pizza, which was OK.



Day 2857 (26/10/2017)

I had a lie-in as I was not speaking until the afternoon at a fraud conference.


The talk went OK, the buffet was nice and I collected a few freebies, from pens, post-its and quite a few chocolates.

Then I caught the train home, via the first class lounge :-)




Day 2856 (25/10/2017)

Up early again to catch a train to London for a few days to give some presentations. I decided to push the boat out and travel first class, so it was a bit more comfortable, especially with a well stocked free tea trolley, which today included some porridge.


Then off to Goldsmith's for a few talks, which went quite well.


Then afterwards I was staying in a Premier-Hub and went for a a very disappointing mixed grill in a steak house nearby.




Thankfully the toffee apple cheese cake was very nice.






Day 2855 (24/10/2017)

It was nice to have a bit of a lie-in in comparison to yesterday.

I had quite a bit to do in the office and prepare for a couple of days away doing presentations.





Day 2854 (23/10/2017)

It was a very early start to get to the airport for my early flight to Dublin but the worst part was having to wear a suit, with a shirt & tie.

 
It was really uncomfortable sat all day in court wearing a suit.

I had an OK lunch at Dublin's oldest pub.


Then back home having done nothing as I wasn't required but may have to go back in a month when the case continues.

Day 2852 & 2853 (21 & 22/10/2017)

It's like winter outside, dark, wet & windy, role on the summer :-(

A busy day getting everything done, as busy next week.

It was a bit annoying at lunchtime, when I got a text from a client about my court appearance (don't worry as a witness for work) on Monday, asking me to bring 2 lots of copies of reports with me. These reports were a total of about 900 pages each, so if I print everything it will be nearly 2,000 pages.

I had paper but I rarely print things nowadays, so didn't have enough ink, which meant a trip out to the shops.

I did a bit of an inside BBQ for dinner on Saturday evening.


I bought my wife some fresh flowers on Sunday. 


 And then made a nice slow cooked roast lamb dinner.



Yum Yum Yum :-)

Day 2851 (20/10/2017)

And another busy day in the office, with reports to send clients and telephone meetings. No time fr a smoothie or the gym (again).

I'm also away for most of next week so I have things to prepare.



Day 2850 (19/10/2017)

A busy day catching up in the office, no time for the gym :-(



Day 2849 (18/10/2017)

Another nice breakfast.


I should say that I did start with fruit & a yogurt and didn't have a full English, unlike my wife.

Then we were off looking houses. We found a great property but it was not in the right location and was at the very top end of what we could afford but it was nice to know that there were a some suitable properties in the area.

Then time for coffee and we shared a rock cake.


Then we had a curry in the evening. and then drove home.







Day 2848 (17/10/2017)

Another nice breakfast.


Then we went into Brighton and had a wonder around the museum.




Then off to our seafood afternoon tea at The Grand, which the kids had got for us for our anniversary.


 





We were still full in the evening so we just had a drink while the kids had diner and then we watched a bit of telly.



Day 2847 (16/10/2017)

It was a nice lazy morning and nice breakfast.



Then we went for a walk around and a coffee.



In the evening we all went out for a nice meal in the marina.

Day 2845 & 2846 (14 & 15/10/2017)

Up early doing all of my work before going away tomorrow.

Sunday we were up and ready a little bit later than intended and the traffic was a bit built up to start with but we got to Rottingdean eventually and had a nice sea view room.

 
 

 Then off to a nice Sunday dinner.
