Day 3043 (30/04/2018)

It was a busy day with plenty to do in the office before going tout to the dentist in the afternoon.

Then afterwards I tidied up a bit more of the garden, jet washing the marble table of it had been left out all winter and planting a few things.

Even the gnomes have started to come out :-)

Day 3041 & 3042 (28 & 29/04/2018)

I saw a tweet from David Baddiel about the show the night before, so tweeted that it was good and he Liked it, so one-step away from me being famous

I'm so easily pleased.

It was a busy day as I had to get a new microphone, so my brother could do some voice-over for our company video.

I also did some more tidying up in the garden, potting some plants, even the solar illuminating tree.

In the evening we had a curry.

Sunday was busy with work to be done, which I mostly avoided but I managed to plant a few more plants.

Still lots more to do to make the garden a lovely place to relax in (plus my wife will want the gnomes back out).

And make a nice chicken roast.

 

 

you yum yum

Day 3040 (27/04/2018)

It was a long busy day with lots to do in the office and my business partner wanted to Skype as we hadn't spoken since our meeting during which I thought we were trying to help out and he thought we were trying to push him out.

As a result I had decided to retire from work and leave the company and he wanted to discuss this. The call quickly became a very loud and sweary shouting argument which went on for two hours and actually cleared the air, so I am staying with the company for now.

I had to take headache tablets after the call and needed to chill-out but had to get ready and drive to Cardiff to see David Baddiel's show, My Family, Not The Sitcom with my friend Sam.

The show was very funny and it was nice to catch-up with Sam, who I hadn't seen for ages.

After the show we went for something to eat, so I had a nice pizza before driving home.

Day 3039 (26/04/2018)

It was nice to have a bit of a lie-in after the previous days 5:30am alarm call. 

The breakfast wasn't great but I managed to eat it without getting it down me, which was a result. 

The day started with someone talking about Data Protection and GDPR, then after lunch I spoke about my stuff and it went really well.

 

Then there was a really long drive home.

Day 3038 (25/04/2018)

It was an incredibly early morning so I could drive to Coventry by 9:30am to do a days training for a client I have known for a number of years. It went quite well and they had nice biscuits.

Then a drive in rush hour to West Bromwich for a talk the following day, so I was staying overnight.

I had nachos for starters and then a mixed grill. 

 

The food was nice but the service was painfully slow.

Day 3037 (24/04/2018)

A busy day doing work and going to the gym then back to the office as I had to prepare for two presentations in the next two days.

Day 3036 (23/04/2018)

Back to work with a few things to do and then off to the gym for more exercise.

Knackered.

Day 3034 & 3035 (21 & 22/04/2018)

The weekend is here with a time to do some work but try to relax a bit.

We had a nice breakfast when it was rainy but we decided to go out for the afternoon to a National Trust property called Killerton's near Exeter, where we had a nice walk in the sun, which was exhausting but continued my good fit-bit score for the week.

Then a nice latte and a cake.

Then we went for a quick drive to Exmouth, to see the beach & the sea, but there was lightening and heavy rain but it stopped just long enough for a quick selfie :-)

On Sunday I say my Mum & Dad for breakfast then came back and started tidying the garden, which had been neglected over the winter.

I know I say it every year but I'm going to get the garden looking nice this year and will definitely spend a lot of time out their, weather willing.

Plus it helped to my best ever Sunday fit-bit rating.

And making a nice slow cooked roast lamb for dinner.

It was very nice.

 

Day 3033 (20/04/2018)

A busy day in the office, I even did some research for an urgent job, which I haven't really done for a while as I have people that do that.

In the evening me and my wife went to see Jason Donovan in Yeovil.

 

 

Quite a lovely evening.

Day 3032 (19/04/2018)

It was a busy day as my wife was off, so we had breakfast together and then I went off to a meeting with an old colleague.

The meeting was held for one reason but we discussed something else, which could be an interesting idea to keep me busy, on a part time basis, for the next year or two.

Then back home and a quick change and then off to another appointment.

Day 3031 (18/04/2018)

It was a very early start as me and a few other pensioners were off to London to see our solicitor.

We were slightly apprehensive beforehand but it went really well, so there are no worries about winning this one now.

Then the long drive back home.

Day 3030 (17/04/2018)

Tuesday, so the day started with a nice breakfast with my wife and then had stuff to do in the office and time at the gym.

Day 3029 (16/04/2018)

Back to work, with a few things to do but still not at the pace as it was before.

I didn't feel like going to the gym but I went, going on the running machine (well I walked on it rather than a run) then some weights, then a the cross trainer and then finishing with the punch bag.

It's annoying my hat the fit-bit is still registering so few steps whilst I'm at the gym as I'm knackered by the time I finish :-(

Day 3027 & 3028 (14 & 15/04/2018)

The weekend is here with a few things to do in the office but it started with a nice breakfast.

Then off to the hospital for another test for Thomas.

As we had not eaten all day, since our early breakfast, we rewarded ourselves with a nice Chinese.

On the Sunday I made a really nice roast beef.

 

 

Yum Yum Yum.

Day 3026 (13/04/2018)

My days are very similar, office and gym.

Things have cooled slightly at work and I think the door has been left open for me to withdraw my offer and to stay but in my head I have already retired, albeit more winding down than just stopping and my heart was never in working on past this year anyway.

Day 3025 (12/04/2018)

Another similar day, with some work in the office whilst avoiding my business partner and then off to the gym, where the punch bag won as i hurt my neck :-(

Day 3024 (11/04/2018)

Another similar day, doing stuff in the office and then off to the gym for a brisk walk on an incline, then doing some weights then time on the punchbag.

This is all while listen to the Evil Or Genius, the Russell Kane podcast, which is quite interesting.

Day 3023 (10/04/2018)

The day started with a nice breakfast.

Did some stuff in the office and then off to the gym in the afternoon and then had a meeting in the evening, which went on quite late.
