Day 5719 & 5720 (30 & 31/08/2025)

It's the weekend, hoping to relax a bit and spend time with my wife, starting with a nice and nearly healthy brunch.  

As we had leftovers last night, my wife made what she had meant to do last night, which were some tasty salmon meat ball things, on rice, with an avocado dressing.  

Sunday I went to see my parents for breakfast, then went home to do a few things. In the evening we went to the Turmeric Kitchen, for a vegan buffet, which was very tasty, and made a pleasant change for a Sunday.   

I wish I could have eaten more, I tried most things but no longer have the appetite or capacity to just eat and eat like I used to. 

Day 5718 (29/08/2025)

Rather annoyingly I was woken in the night with water coming in thru the bedroom ceiling on to me in the bed. Thankfully it wasn't much and soon stopped but it was clear we had a slight issue with the roof. Luckily I was able to get someone out first thing, who discovered, as I knew they would, that the lead flashings in the gully between the old roof and the extension was broken, and needed repair on both sides.

I suppose it has lasted 20 odd years without incident but think it might be an expensive long-term fix, which they can't do for a few weeks but they will be back on Monday to do a temporary fix, so we are hoping for a few dry days (looking at the weather forecast there is no chance of it being dry, so it's just fingers crossed).  

I had work to do, then we finished off the French onion soup, so didn't need dinner and just had an evening snack of melted cheese on toast with tomato. 

Day 5717 (28/08/2025)

I took my wife to work, so I had to car to do a few chores and so I could go to the gym. 

I made some vegetarian French onion soup in the evening, with large cheesy croutons.   

It was not quite what I had wanted but not too bad for a first attempt. 

Day 5716 (27/08/2025)

Work & gym.

We had a late lunch, so didn't have dinner in the evening. 

Day 5715 (26/08/2025)

A day off with my wife, and she found some easter crumpets in the freezer.

I did some work during the day, then had a Doctors appointment in the afternoon, to explain about my weight loss and come off of some of the blood pressure medication. Hopefully everything is moving in the right direction, so I will be much healthier next year than I have been for the last few years. 

We had a coffee and shared a cake, then in the evening had some left over Mexican. 

Day 5714 (25/08/2025)

Bank Holiday, with my wife at work for the morning, then off to Bristol to see some family for the afternoon. 

With some lovely food and drinks.  

It was a lovely day. 

Day 5712 & 5713 (23 & 24/08/2025)

The weekend, hopefully with time to relax, starting with a nice brunch.  

In the evening I made a tasty Mexican. 

All vey nice, with a burrito, some quesadilla's and a few sides.  

Sunday, I saw my parents for breakfast, then home to do some work, before making a tasty Italian for dinner, with fresh egg spaghetti with prawn in a cream sauce.  

All really tasty, with a nice glass of wine. 

Day 5711 (22/08/2025)

A very busy morning & afternoon with work, so I didn't get to the gym. 

Had fish & chips in the evening.

  

Day 5710 (21/08/2025)

More work & more gym.

Finished the pizza in the evening. 

Day 5709 (20/08/2025)

It seems every time I'm nicely relaxed and ready to start writing I get a bit busy with work again. 

Off to the gym in the afternoon.  

Had pizza in the evening. 

Day 5708 (19/08/2025)

We started the day with a nice breakfast. 

In the afternoon I took my wife to dentist appointment, then we went into town afterwards for a coffee & cake. 

In the evening we finished off the risotto. 

Day 5707 (18/08/2025)

Monday, with a few things to do in the office, then I went to the gym after my wife came home from work. 

We finished off the salad in the evening, with some cheesy pasta.
