Day 5926 (25/03/2026)

Had a nice long sleep and felt better in the morning, but decided to have a day off from the gym.

 

Day 5925 (24/03/2026)

I've been waking up quite early lately, but think it might be as I have slept enough. We had a nice brunch, then did a few things in the house.  

Then after taking a big bag of cuddle toys back to the storage unit, we went off to the garden centre for a nice coffee, and we shared a cheese scone and a slice of raspberry cream cake.  

We had pizza & chips in the evening.

Didn't feel very well, so had an early night.

Day 5924 (23/03/2026)

I woke up early, so went into the office to do some things. I'm finding it quite difficult to concentrate on work at the moment, my heart is no longer in it,  but I am keen on going to the gym and getting the house sorted, so hopefully that will continue, so fingers crossed I am soon slimer and healthy and we can start getting the house renovated / decorated. I've also booked a writing course, so hopefully that will kick-start my writing again. 

Went to the gym in the morning. 

Cleared some stuff from the garage & storage unit, hopefully sold the old Lego, which was quite a surprise, as it was easier and more profitable than getting rid of the books. 

In the evening I made an Angela Hartnett meal, of sticky sausages, with onion, apple in a honey & wholegrain mustard glaze. 

Did it with some roast potatoes, and finished off the buttered sweetcorn. 

All very tasty and it turned out much better than when I had made it previously. 

Day 5922 & 5923 (21 & 22/03/2026)

It was nice to have a weekend, when I didn't do much work. I was up early, as Thomas was off for a walk on Exmore with some friends.

I started going thru some books, seeing which ones I could sell, and which ones were going to charity, and was able to get rid of two small boxes for a few quid. It is a start and if I can get the stuff that won't sell to the charity shop this week, then I will be a bit of a result. 

I made some bacon sandwiches for brunch, then we went outside to start tidying the garden after the winter which was tyring but rewarding. 

In the evening I made some hotdogs, with cheesy chips and buttered sweetcorn. 

All very tasty, with a nice G&T. 

On Sunday I saw my parents for breakfast, then home to do a few bits & pieces, then I made a nice smoked salmon and salad starter. 

Then a couple of hours later I did an Angela Hartnett tuna steak meal, which was expensive but tasty. 

All very tasty, with a nice glass of wine. 

Day 5921 (20/03/2026)

Friday and I had a some work to finish in the office, then I took some more stuff to the storage unit.  

The storage unit is filling up and the garage is getting empty, I will get some quotes soon from builders to convert the garage and start getting our house renovated. We must also start going thru a lot of these thing and put some of it in the tip, and some of it in charity shops, I doubt (hope) that we will keep that much, as we don't need it.

In the evening we had some fish & chips from the fish & chip shop, which were lovely. 

Day 5920 (19/03/2026)

Another busy day in the office but the day started finishing off the pancakes, yoghurt and fruit.

Then off to the gym, and added to my usual routine.   

I picked up my wife from work and we had a quick pasty, chips and beans, before going to the Brewhouse to see Ivo Graham, who was really funny.  

Day 5919 (18/03/2026)

A busy day in the office, and no gym, giving my arm a chance to recover.  Had one of the leftover pancakes and fruit from the weekend for breakfast. 

And some nice pasta in the evening. 

Day 5918 (17/03/2026)

It was  a busy day, with an early morning Doctors appointment, then home for breakfast. 

And then off to give blood after lunch. 

Really I only go for a nice relax and the Jacobs Orange club biscuit. 

Then home for a nice Afternnoon Tea, with my wife's scones & cream from Lee.

Very nice, and just what I needed after giving blood. 

Then in the late afternoon / early evening, we went to the cinema to see Mothers Pride, which was quite funny, and worth seeing.

Then home to finish of the Mexican, with some nachos. 

Day 5917 (16/03/2026)

Back to work and back to the gym, early, as I had to take my Dad to the eye clinic in the afternoon.   

Lee went home at lunchtime.

In the evening we finished off the vodka rigatoni.
