Day 3958 & 3959 (31/10 & 01/11/2020)

The weekend is here and its like full blown winter outside.

We had Halloween based crumpets with breakfast.

Then I did a bit more tidying in the garden, putting some plants away for the winter. 

With the country entering a lockdown next week there were queues again at he supermarket, which was slightly annoying.

In the evening I did a Jamie meal, with salmon & chorizo on a bed of rice with tomatoes & spinach, it was very tasty.

Sunday I went over to my parents for breakfast and then in the afternoon I made a Thomas toad-in-the-hole and did us a very tasty roast beef.

It was all very lovely.

Used up some frozen strawberries and made a strawberry tart, which was very nice. 

Day 3957 (30/10/2020)

Another day in the office but no gym today as I had to record a presentation in the afternoon. 

I prefer to do them live as they are more natural but it was OK. Then more zoom sessions in the evening. 

Day 3956 (29/10/2020)

Another day in the office, with a visit to the gym in the afternoon and a zoom session in the evening.

This seems to be the new normal routine for me. 

Day 3955 (28/10/2020)

 Another day working in the office, with a visit to the gym in the afternoon.

Day 3954 (27/10/2020)

Another day in the office & gym. 

Had a Two For Tuesday in the evening :-)

Day 3953 (26/10/2020)

My wife was still off today, so it was a a fairly relaxed day, with a visit to the gym, then I tidied the garden, making it ready for winter.

I know I didn't get all of the leaves but the wheelie bin was full. 

Day 3951 & 3952 (24 & 25/10/2020)

It's the weekend and after a nice breakfast we decided to go away for the day, so looked for a restaurant we fancied near to a cheap hotel.

We went to the Sea Rock at Portishead Marina, which was really nice and basically a glorified fish & chip shop but with alcohol and posh food.

It was a lovely evening. 

We stayed at the Premier Inn nearby and had a nice breakfast in the morning. 

On Sunday we went for a walk along the coast, which was nice.

Then when we got home I ordered a roast dinner from Roasties in East Reach, which saved me cooking as was quite nice (I was too lazy to put it on a plate) but not quite as nice as one of my Sunday roasts.

Day 3950 (23/10/2020)

My wife is off for a few days, so I did some work in the morning and lunchtime, then we went out to Minehead in the afternoon, for a walk along the beach

And some very nice fish & chips by the seaside later on.

Day 3949 (22/10/2020)

A busy day in the office during the day, with the gym in the afternoon and then a very interesting online presentation in the evening.

Day 3948 (21/10/2020)

 Another busy day in the office, with time for the gym in the afternoon.

Day 3947 (20/10/2020)

A busy day in the office and had a very short haircut.

I should have given blood later but for some annoying reason I had to rebook it but still got an Orange Club biscuit. 

Day 3946 (19/10/2020)

 A busy day in the office and went to the gym.

Made a quick and tasty soup from the left over lamb shank juice and veg :-) 

Day 3944 & 3945 (17 & 18/10/2020)

 It's the weekend with quite a bit of work that needs doing. In the afternoon I started tidying up the garden for the winter, which is always depressing, knowing  that it's another year ending.

I collected the heads from the sunflowers, to collected the seeds for next years plants. 

Then in the evening I made a very tasty mushrooms & spinach in white wine and cream sauce with fresh pasta for dinner, with a caprice salad and a nice bottle of rose from Kylie.

Then we had pancakes with fruit for afters :-)

On Sunday I saw my parents for breakfast. Then in the afternoon I made a vegi sausage casserole for Thomas,

and a lamb shanks for us.
