Day 3426 & 3427 (18 & 19/05/2019)

A busy weekend, which started with a nice healthy (ish) breakfast.


After watch the FA Cop final I made lamb kofta's and we had a bit of Greek inspired meal. 

 
 
 
 

Yum Yum Yum


On Sunday I did lamb shank (they were on offer so it was a double lamb weekend)

 
   

As it took a while to cook we had Sushi for starters.



The lamb shank was lovely as always.

 
 

Yum Yum Yum










Day 3425 (17/05/2019)

It was an early start as the hedge was being trimmed today and they always turn up before 8:00am.


It is so noisy when they do it but it always looks so good afterwards.,


The before & after shots. 
 





Day 3424 (16/05/2019)

A busy time in the office, with so much still to do.

Day 3423 (15/05/2019)

A busy day in the office and at the house, where we had the gutters emptied and cleaned, as the weeds & grass growing out of them was embarrassing.


 I just can't work out how so much soil ends up in the gutters.


Now it looks so much better.
 

Next is the hedge which goes around the house which is due to be trimmed and tidied up on Friday.



Day 3422 (14/05/2019)

As we hadn't had time for a nice breakfast on my wife's birthday I did a nice breakfast today, with smoked salmon & scrambled eggs on bagels.


It was very tasty, especially with the magic ingredient, tarragon but I had already started it by the time I remembered to take a picture.

We had a few bananas going over, so I decided to make a banana ice-cream, which I had seen soon the telly.  First freezing the bananas.


Then blitzing them with some peanut butter. 

 
 

Then served with some salted caramel sauce, very tasty :-)






Day 3421 (13/05/2019)

My wife is once again older than me as it is her birthday. In the morning whilst we were having breakfast I thought there was a large delivery for my wife but i turned out to be a shipment of wine sent to me from the HSBC as an apology for taking over 2 months to set up a bank account for a new venture.


Then it was off to Little Italy for a nice lunch with the kids. 


 





It was very tasty, as it had been for Lee's Birthday. 
 
 

Then we went off to my parents for tea & birthday cake, which was vere nice :-) 

   

Lee went home later, then in the evening I did some cheese & biscuits, with some port for a nice supper :-)

Day 3419 & 3420 (11 & 12/05/2019)

A sunny & busy weekend but will try to relax a bit. I was up early and went to buy stuff for breakfast and bought some nice flowers for my wife's birthday.


On Sunday we both went to my parents for breakfast then we went off to the shops to get stuff for a nice roast dinner, which Lee was joining us for, which was really nice. So it was a roast beef for us two, roast chicken for Thomas and a vegi roast for Lee. 


 
 
 

Very tasty, one of my better ones :-)


Really nice to be back as a family for  a Sunday roast.




Day 3418 (10/05/2019)

We had a relaxing morning and a nice piggy breakfast at the hotel, after the previous evening minimalist dinner.


My wife wasn't impressed by my breakfast face.


Then we went for a wander around Burnham-on-Sea in the sun, along the sea-front and an ice-cream, on what must be the smallest pier in the word.

 

In the evening I made a nice mixed seafood linguine.
