Day 2886 (24/11/2017)

It was less windy overnight but still noisy for my wife as apparently someone was snoring really loudly again although I didn't hear anything.

We had a family breakfast again.

Then had a relaxing day and a nice Italian in the evening.

 

 

 

 

 

Then a long late drive home.

Day 2885 (23/11/2017)

It was Lee's Birthday, so we all had breakfast together at the hotel.

Then opening some cards & presents.

The scooter went down well.

Then out to the Marina for a some UV Crazy Golf.

 

 

 

Then off to a buffet Chinese.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And a Happy Birthday sung by everyone in the place for an embarrassed Lee :-)

A great day.

Day 2884 (22/11/2017)

We had aimed to leave by midday for Brighton but my 1hr meeting via Skype at 10am lasted until nearly 12, and obviously I hadn't yet showered or packed.

Lucky no-one else was ready either. So by the time we were ready, had bought a cake and put air in the tyres it was about 2pm and we didn't arrive in Rottingdean until after 6pm, which was just in time to unpack and change before Lee got back from work. Then off to the nearby Indian as the weather was a bit cold and very windy. 

 

Lee finished with a Punky.

I had the banana fritters :-)

A lovely evening.

Day 2883 (21/11/2017)

Tuesday and we had a bit of a lie-in and a nice breakfast.

Then most of the day was spent working, as we are going away for a few days for Lee's birthday.

Day 2882 (20/11/2017)

A busy day in the office, with more happening with our research app, fingers crossed it goes as well as we are hoping or even just half as well.

I had planned to go to the gym but was too busy but had time for a smoothie.

 

Day 2880 & 2881 (18 & 19/11/2017)

A weekend, with a fair bit of work to do.

Next year is definitely my last year of work. If the software / app we have developed takes off then I should be earning enough to no longer have to get involved. If the app doesn't take off then our salesman should be getting work in from the UK & abroad and the researchers should be of at a level that I no longer need to check their work.

Either way I am aiming to just do the occasional  bit of research to find new things, to I can keep the app, the website and our researchers up to date. And the occasional management meeting, which I will insist now only take place in nice cities and nice hotels.

Thomas said about having a Paella on Saturday night, which went down very well.

 

 

On Sunday I did a nice roast Pork.

Day 2879 (17/11/2017)

I had a bit of a lie-in and then got up to scrape the ice from my wife's car, then time for work.

In the afternoon me and Thomas played badminton, it was very close but he still beat me 3-0 :-(

Then I made him drive back as he still needs some practice before I think he will feel confident enough to go out by himself.

It was a lot better than the other week but I do admit it is not a great car to pull away in. 

In the evening my wife made a fairly nice Mexican but not quite up to Lee's standard.

Day 2878 (16/11/2017)

Up early and a long drive to the National Water Centre in Nottingham to give a talk to a room full of investigators. I arrived just in time for tea & biscuits but I went for the danish pastries.

And then the lunch.

 

Then I spoke for an hour, which went quite well. On the way out I stopped to look at the 2,000m lake, quite impressive.

 

Then a long drive home but I got home in time for dinner :-) but was really tired so had an early night.

Day 2877 (15/11/2017)

Another cold morning with lots of work to do.

My smoothie ended up looking a bit grey and bland even though it was full of fruit.

 

But it tasted OK.

I had the evening off to watch the telly with the family.

Day 2876 (14/11/2017)

Tuesday and we had a nice breakfast but then the water went off for a few hours due to a major water main breaking nearby.

I managed quite a bit of work and we had a nice chilli in the evening.
