A busy morning, doing things, then packing and getting ready for an evening away, back in Torquay. We had a different at the hotel, not quite as nice as the last one, then we went out for an Italian at Amici, which was very nice, starting with a lovely cocktail, of Limoncello Margherita (an Italian twist on the classic margherita, limoncello shaken with tequila & lime juice, strained into a salted glass).
A bit busy at work and my new office chair arrived, as my old chair had definitely seen better days.
A busy day in the office doing a few jobs for clients, so didn't go to the gym. My new shredder arrived, which is a bit smaller and quieter than the last one.
Hopefully it won't get blocked up as easily.
We had spam fritters for diner, which we quite nice.
We had a nice brunch.
Then more work & tidying, and more time at the gym.
Work & tidying at home. Annoyingly I realised that I had broken my shredder when it had clogged it up and I had tried to fix it, so I had to order a new one and thought I might as well get a new office chair as the old one is a few years old and has definitely seen better days.
Back at the gym in the afternoon.
The weekend and relaxing now, after a busy few months. We had some egg & sausage sandwiches for brunch.
I did a bit tidying & shredding then in the evening we had a very nice Chinese takeaway. When the man delivered it, he was carrying a large box, which always looks bad, but then he said “someone’s having a party tonight then” I couldn’t tell him it was just the three of us and a normal Saturday :-)
Work & tidying the office, going thru loads of things, some more than 20years old, showing how different life was back in those days. As an example, I came across a load of Certificates for buying & owning domain names. I had forgotten they even used to supply those as standard, certainly not had then for the last 15 years. So shredding loads.
We had some nice sushi for lunch, then in the evening we had nice fish & chips, as it was Friday Fish Day.
I've been writing this week, which is good but there is so much to do.
Had the left over aubergine hotpot in the evening.
At work, and tidying up a bit, then off to the gym.
I did some more work in the afternoon. My wife a aubergine hotpot in the evening, which was interesting.
Had a nice brunch and did a bit of work in the morning.
Then off to the gym again.
We had some nice pasta in the evening.
Back to work and back to the gym.
I was up fairly early, did some work, preparing for some training this month. We had a nice brunch, and a fairly lazy afternoon.
Early start, taking my Dad to the hospital.
Thankfully I've caught up with my work, although I have some more training coming up which I have to prepare for.
We had some lovely fish & chips in the evening.
My new diet must be kicking as I couldn't eat it all, and I was stuffed.
Busy at work in the morning & at lunch, then off to Cardiff to see Richard Herring with Sam.
Back at work, with more fruit & yoghurt, then another gym session in the afternoon.
Pie-ish & veg for dinner.
We were up early and off to Bristol for the funeral of a friends mother.
It was a very religious service and although I had never met here, and she was veery elderly, I always find funerals very sad.
We only stayed for the service, then left, and stopped off at a coffee shop in Clifton for lunch, which was very nice.
Then home to do some work, and finish off the pizza.
