Day 5537 (28/02/2025)

A frosty start to day. I managed to crack on with few University report reviews during the day.

Had a lovely smoked herring sandwich for lunch, but it meant we were to full for dinner.

 

Day 5536 (27/02/2025)

I started the day with some nice yoghurt & fruit.

 

Then busy in the office marking University papers, which went OK but I have loads to do. In the evening I had some lovely jacket potatoes with the leftover bolognaise. 

Day 5535 (26/02/2025)

Another day, and I started a new diet regime, hoping this works out. Had a tasty pie & mash in the evening.

Day 5534 (25/02/2025)

Had a lie-in and a nice brunch.

Then off to catch-up with Dave about Locate over a hot-chocolate at Costa, then home to do some work.  Had a nice pizza in the evening. 

Day 5533 (24/02/2025)

Back to work, catching up after being away in Preston last week. 

We had some leftover kedgeree for a late lunch.  

Then I was online in the evening. 

 

Day 5531 & 5532 (22 & 23/02/2025)

It's the weekend and I had a bit of a lie-in, then up to take Thomas to the train station, as he was visiting a friend in Manchester. Then we had a relaxing morning and a nice brunch.

In the evening we wert up to Bristol to see family, and they opened a 30 year old Magnum of Lafite Rothschild, which they had originally been given as a gift and was supposedly worth around £7.5k, so I probably drank about £1.5k of red wine, which was OK but probably lost on me, as we normally have a nice bottle of Pinot or Kylie.

Then we had some lovely food.

All very tasty & lovely. 

Sunday I saw my parents for breakfast, then home to do some work and then make a nice dinner, with some nice but simple goats cheese & sun-dried tomato bruschetta, with balsamic vinegar for starters. 

Then I made a very tasty beef spaghetti bolognaise.  

With some leftover chocolate tart from the night before.

Day 5530 (21/02/2025)

Last day of the course, so last breakfast at this hotel for a few months.   

I had a quick sandwich for lunch.

Then after the students had taken their exam, it was a horrible 4hr drive home, where there was a lovely kedgeree for dinner. 

Day 5529 (20/02/2025)

Another day at the university, with breakfast at the hotel.

It was raining loads at lunchtime, so I popped into a Subway for lunch.

Then in the evening I thought I would have a nearly healthy jacket potato, with cheese and tuna and a couple of bottles of corona at the hotel.

Day 5528 (19/02/2025)

Another day at the University, starting with a slightly different breakfast this morning.

Then I had a meeting, in a pub, with John about more courses later in the year, and had a chicken burger.

Then I finished the day with some spicy beef tacos and nachos, which were really tasty.

Day 5527 (18/02/2025)

Another day at the University, with breakfast at the hotel.

Then chicken jalfrezi for lunch.

For dinner I ordered from Uber Eats again, and had a platter from a fish ‘n chip shop, with fish bites, battered sausage, chicken wings & chips, with some curry sauce and tartare & ketchup, which was quite nice. 

Day 5526 (17/02/2025)

Up early to get ready and have breakfast.

Then of the Uni. 

In the evening, as I have worked my way thru the hotel menu, I ordered a very tasty kebab via Uber Eats.
