Day 5411 (25/10/2024)

Another busy day in the office. I can't believe how busy I have been since I stopped doing the daily stuff for Locate, as I'm no nearer starting to write.  

Made a chilli prawn pasta in the evening. 

Quick and quite tasty.

Day 5410 (24/10/2024)

It was a fairly dry day, which was good as we were having the gutters & facias cleared and cleaned as they were blocked with weeds growing out of them.

Looking so much better now and well worth the money.

In the evening we went off to Weston Super Mare to meet up with Gary & Elaine, starting with for fish & chips, which were really nice.

And then off to see Ben Elton, as an early Birthday present for Gary. 

At the time, I thought that maybe because of the speed of his delivery and occasional slurred / mis-spoken words, that maybe I was missing some of the sub context of his routine but clearly after discussing it with Gary, I wasn’t.

Ben Elton seems like an old man, now trying to seem relevant & popular, and so is now playing up to common / popular right wing stereo types – as in social media is bad and innocent beliefs & comments get you cancelled. And the obvious anti gender trans comments. Part of his delivery seemed as if it could have been delivered by Jim Davidson. 

What a shame.

After the show me and my wife went to the seafront and then home.

Day 5409 (23/10/2024)

My wife was back ant work and I was busy in the office but made a roast butternut squash & spinach risotto in the evening.

It was really tasty.

Day 5408 (22/10/2024)

Had a nice sleep and a relaxing morning, with a nice brunch.

I had a little bit of work to do but had a relaxing day, with no more Tuesday evening sessions. In the evening we finished off the soup and I made some spinach & ricotta and cheese & potato pastries.

I was a bit short of time so stupidly put them all on one cooking tray, so they were too close together but they just about cooked ok and were still very tasty.

Day 5407 (21/10/2024)

We had to be up early to get ready and leave the lodge, then we went for breakfast before leaving the site. 

On the way home we stopped off at Weymouth for a walk on the beach and a coffee.

After getting home I popped out to the shops to get a few provisions and then made a lovely roast tomato soup in the evening.  

Did it with some large melted cheese croutons.  

And served with basil and creme fraiche, all very tasty.
