Day 5634 (06/06/2025)

Had a nice sleep at the hotel and a relaxing start to the day, and then we stopped off nearby for a bit of breakfast. 

Then we went off to visit some National Trust properties whilst we were in the West Midlands. First was at Packwood House.

Then off to Coughton Court.

Then we drove home and had fish & chips, as it was national fish & chip day (even thou for some reason our local fish & chip shop was closed).  

Day 5634 (05/06/2025)

We were up and getting ready, and off to Birmingham to see Kylie. We stayed at the Arden Hotel, which was very hand and quite nice. As it was raining we stayed at the hotel for dinner which was quite nice and very filling. 

Thankfully it stopped raining and we had a short 10minute walk to the NEC / BP Pulse Area, where we had a Prosecco and bought a programme. 

Out seats were quite good, so we could take in the whole show. The support was Jodie Harsh, and the music was OK. 

Kylie was really good. 

As we left the areana, with the massive queues in the car parks, I was so glad we only had a short walk back to our hotel room, where we could relax with a nice cup of tea.

Day 5633 (04/06/2025)

Back working, so no writing today but back at the gym.

Had a nice vegi stir fry in the evening.

Day 5632 (03/06/2025)

We had a nice brunch.

Then back at the gym and back writing.

Had cheesy tuna pasta in the evening.  

Day 5631 (02/06/2025)

Back to work, back to the gym and back to writing. 

We finished off the fishy tomato dish in the evening. 
 

Day 5629 & 5630 (31/05 & 01/06/2025)

We were up a bit earlier than normal for a Saturday, as we were going out later.  So we had a nice brunch, then I cut the grass before we started getting ready to go to see my wife's family in Bristol. 

The weather was lovely in Bristol, as was the food. As I'm still being good, I didn't have much and shared the cakes with my wife.   

I made a single Pimms last all afternoon as I was driving. 

On the way home we stopped off for a walk along the seafront at Burnham-On-Sea, which was nice but a bit chilly.

As it was chilly I offered my wife my hoodie, which could have gone round her several times.

Sunday was the start of June, so a new picture of Kylie, who we are seeing this week. 

Saw my parents for breakfast, then home to do a few bits of bods. Thought I would treat us to a nice dinner when my wife finished work, so we had some (Tesco's) Caviar for starters.

Then I made Pescado A La Veracruzana, but with added Orzo pasta / rice, inspired by an Angela Hartnett meal. 

It was very tasty.
