Day 3447 & 3448 (08 & 09/06/2019)

It was another early (ish) start as I was doing somethings with the Devon & Cornwall Police Cadets at the HQ with my new business.



It went OK and gives us something to build on for the future.

In the evening I did a nice Moussaka, hassleback potatoes & Greek salad.



On Sunday I tided the garden.



Then made a very nice roast beef dinner.


Yum Yum Yum :-)






Day 3446 (07/06/2019)

I was still tired from yesterdays early start and it was a busy day in the office.

In the evening me and my wife went to the Sheppy's restaurant, which was quite nice.



 
 
 
 

And we even shared the cheese board :-)

Day 3445 (06/06/2019)

It was an early start and a long drive to speak at a conference in Portsmouth.


Thankfully there were a few danish pastries out when I arrived :-)

 
 
My talk was fairly short but it went down very well, as always. 


 Then the long drive home was made even longer by road closures and diversions :-(

Day 3444 (05/06/2019)

Another busy day in the office but time for a much needed haircut.



Listened to some good podcasts whilst working today, one with Matt Lucas. I Tweeted my praise about them as they were very good and he liked my Tweet.


So another interaction with a famous person on Twitter to add to the list.

Another very tasty dinner from my wife (who saw it on telly)


It was a Chinese style pork that was cooked on a program by Raymond Blanc and I'm sure hers was as tasty as his.



Day 3443 (04/06/2019)

A busy day in the office and it was raining on and off outside.

Day 3442 (03/06/2019)

A busy day on ebay and in the office, feeling slightly positive for the future with work but the next two months will be critical.

The flowers / roses looking good in the garden, including for some reason some large poppies, which are looking good but a bit suspicious.

Day 3440 & 3441 (01 & 02/06/2019)

Golly June already, so it's Kylie time.


I do hope next years calendar is a bit more fun :-)

Loads to do in the office this weekend but if it stays nice I might get out into the garden for a few minutes.

Had a very nice breakfast in the morning.


As it was such a nice day we made a late decision to have a BBQ :-)



Quite well done but very tasty :-)


On Sunday we had the left overs with some cheesy pasta.

Then off to give blood like a hero :-)

 


And a nice excuse to have some biscuits :-)

Day 3436 (28/05/2019)

Stressed with work :-(




Day 3435 (27/05/2019)

It was a Bank Holiday and after a relaxing start of the day we went to Barrington Court, a nearby National Trust property, as the traffic was bad and we couldn't get to the one we wanted to go to. But we had a nice walk around.

 


And I did a very nice picnic.

Day 3433 & 3434 (25 & 26/05/2019)

Its a Bank Holiday Weekend, which I had forgotten about and even better than that the sun is out, although I am in the office doing some work.

Also I am still tidying up the house and probably will be for another year or two, starting with my office and now have a Richard Herring shelf for all of my bits and bobs :-)


I also came across my first ever Gideons Bible which I got given in School in 1979, when I was still 11.



Obviously I wont put it on eBay, it would never sell, so its going in the bin instead.

Had a lovely mashed avocado with yogurt & chilli on toast for brunch.


Made a nice Mexican in the evening, doing a chilli con carne and some nachos.



On Sunday I was going to do a BBQ, the first of the season but as always, as soon as I mention BBQ the weather turns, so I did a nice salad instead.

Day 3432 (24/05/2019)

A very busy day in the office, with loads still to do.

Plus I am still tidying up things in my office and looking for more things to put on eBay.

My wife made a very lovely risotto in the evening.





Day 3431 (23/05/2019)

Another busy day in the office.

Thomas's last day at College, that went quickly, hopefully he will be off to University next.


We are all really impressed with what he has done this year.

Then in the evening I went to a pensioners group meeting.




Day 3430 (22/05/2019)

It was a busy morning and then a drive in the sun over to Oxford to give a talk in Oxford at the football ground, which went OK but I didn't have time for the buffet :-(

  
Then a long hot drive home.




Day 3429 (21/05/2019)

Another busy day in the office.

Day 3428 (20/05/2019)

I have done a big chunk of the stuff I needed to do for work, so feel a bit less stressed.

Also started getting things together in the house to sell on eBay and to throw away. I now have a box of stuff to put online, so of which has been lying around my office for years, some of which I nought for work and never really needed or just bought as part of an investigation, so have no use for. 


Whatever money I get will be a bonus but mostly it will be nice to get the house sorted and tidy.
