Day 5456 (09/12/2024)

Another early morning waiting for Amazon but thankfully they and more importantly, the bed & mattress arrived.  


So when my wife & Thomas had gone to work, I spent sometime in the garden clearing more leaves and re-doing the bird food, then put the bed together, which was knackering and heroic. 


Then time for a quick bit of work. 


When my wife came home, we had a quick lunch before going out posting some cards and taking all of the empty cardboard from the bed to the tip. Then home to have a shower & collapse in a heap after a busy day. 


We had a lovely vegi cheesy tuna pasta in the evening.

Day 5454 & 5455 (07 & 08/12/2024)

Well that was a stormy night and it is still stormy. 


I was up early, waiting for Amazon from 7am, unfortunately no one had told us that due to the stormy Amazon wasn't sending out delivery drivers until at least the afternoon. So another annoying early morning. 


The only plus side was that I managed to finish updating the training material for the University, the questions & tasks to go now. 


As Thomas was out we had a bit of a meaty Italian in the evening, starting with a nice  antipasti. 




And I made a lovely spaghetti bolognaise. 








Very nice, with a lovely glass of Prosecco. 


Up early AGAIN for Amazon on Sunday so didn't get to see my parents, and Amazon didn't even turn up. 

Finished some work and made a quick roast chicken dinner in the evening.



It was lovely. 







Day 5453 (06/12/2024)

I was up early for the Amazon delivery, which was due between 7am and 7pm and at about 7:20am the van pulled up outside but after 10minutes of hunting around his van he came to the door to say that someone had forgotten to load the bed, which was annoying. 


In fact it was double annoying, as we need the bed and I had got up early for nothing. 


We had some nice fish & chips in the evening.



Also the start of a stormy few days.


 

Day 5452 (05/12/2024)

Busy in the office and in the afternoon I cut up Thomas's old bed and we took it to the tip as the new double bed is arriving tomorrow.  



We had some nice pasta in the evening. 




Day 5451 (04/12/2024)

Another busy day in the office, doing some work as well as updating the training material.


Had a tasty pie in the evening. 







Day 5450 (03/12/2024)

 We had a nice brunch.



Then took some stuff over to the storage unit, and had a Starbucks on the way back. 


My wife went out on a Christmas do in the evening, so I pizzas and watch West Ham (Lose) on the telly with Thomas.






Day 5449 (02/12/2024)

Back to work.


We finished of the 3bird roast & leftovers with a nice sandwich for lunch, so didn't really feel like dinner tonight.
