Day 5365 (09/09/2024)

I was up early after a good nights sleep, then a nice omelette for brunch. 



I did some work in the day, then in the evening I made a vegi Mexican Chicken Bowl Avocado Cream Pico De Gallo, with some nachos and a couple bottles of Corona













Day 5363 & 5364 (07 & 08/09/2024)

We were up early and then picked up my parents and drove to Romford to visit family for the weekend.  We stopped off on the way for a coffee & roll but made good time.  It is always great to meet up with the family and if we didn't make the effort then my parents would probably get to see them anymore as it is to far for them to drive. 



After a hello and a quick cuppa we checked in to the hotel, which was quite comfortable, before going back for the evening, with lots of food.   





We didn't stay to late but we were still quite tired so had a nice sleep, although we were woken but very loud thunder & lightning during the night. In the morning we had a lovely breakfast at the hotel. 


Then back to Ricky & Christine's.










We left after lunch, after a lovely weekend and got home in the evening, so we could relax.




Day 5362 (06/09/2024)

It was a relaxed start to the day, as we are supposed to be off for the week, so we had a nice brunch.   



Then we went off to Bristol to lay some flowers on Mary's grave, as it was 6 years since her passing.



Then on the way home we stopped off for a coffee, to warm up.

Them home to do a bit of work, before Thomas made a spicey Korean noddles meal for dinner.

Day 5359 (03/09/2024)

Started with a nice brunch. 



Then had some work to do and at the gym. 



In the evening I announced to the Department Heads at Locate that I am leaving next month, which was emotional but is a relief.  Then we had a pizza afterwards. 






Day 5358 (02/09/2024)

Back to work and back to the gym but only for a reasonable number of minutes from now on. 



My wife made a really tasty spaghetti bolognaise in the evening.

A busy morning but had a nice breakfast.



Then we got ready and picked my parents up and went up to Lydney to see Gary & Elaine in their new house, which was lovely. They did us some lovely food. 




And had a brilliant Desserts Board. 



A very lovely day and great to catch-up with Gary & Elaine and so nice that they are happy in their new house.


Sunday it was September, so time for a new picture of Kylie.  


Then off to my parents for breakfast, then home, where I made a tasty roast beef dinner.





Very tasty.


With a lovely afters, as Elaine had sent us home with some raspberry & almond cakes, so made a coulis and some Chantilly cream.






Rather annoyingly I burnt my thumb quite badly making dinner :-(

Another busy day at work and at the gym.




Eventually complete 1035 minutes in August for Locate.  


Had a nice doughnut in the afternoon,.
