Day 5645 (17/06/2025)

We were up early, and out of the house by 5:30am, to get to the airport. Whether it was the fact we were going to be one of the first flights of the morning, or if it was the new security routines but it was so quick and easy checking-in. 

We had a quick cuppa & breakfast roll, then on to the plane for a sleep. 

Then it took a while to get thru the airport, and the coach to the hotel took just under 2hrs. 

So it was a relief to arrive at the hotel, and start to relax. 

We had a nice balcony. 

We explored the hotel, which had a gym and a couple of nice pools. 

Then went off for a cooling drink and a bite to eat. 

Found a local bar called Smithy's. 

Back to the hotel and chill before dinner. 

Then back to the room to collapse.

Day 5644 (16/06/2025)

A relaxed quiet day getting ready for our holiday.

Thomas flew back to the UK after a nice holiday in Ibiza.   

Day 5642 & 5643 (14 & 15/06/2025)

We had a nice nights sleep, which we needed to help us recover after a couple of busy days.  We had a nice brunch. 

Then I checked on my herbs, and saw we have lots of peppers growing and the start of some tomatoes.

We finished off some leftovers for dinner.

Sunday was Fathers Day, so I saw my parents for breakfast, then home to do some nice food, as my wife was coming home early.  So we started with caviar.  

Then I did steak in a peppercorn sauce, with mushrooms and potato croquettes. 

Very tasty. 

Day 5641 (13/06/2025)

We were up early for breakfast.

Then we dropped Thomas off at the tube, as he was off Ibiza for a short holiday, then we drove Lee back to Worthing. we visited there new flat, which was really nice, then went for a walk along the sea-front.  

And stopped off for a nice drink.

And an ice-cream.

Then we drove home, via Sandbanks, where we stopped, shortly before an unexpected downpour, but we stopped off for a lovely sea-food platter. 

Day 5640 (12/06/2025)

We were up fairly early and getting ready, to drive off to London. The first part of the journey was in misty rain but we stopped at the services near Swindon, for a coffee & a break, then when we went back outside, it was lovely and sunny. 

We got to the hotel in Harrow, quickly freshened up then off to Wembley via the tube and had a nice pasta before the show. 

Then the show.

I had last seen him at the Taunton Brewhouse in November 2011, so this was a very different venue but still a great show. 

Nice quick & easy journey back to the hotel.

Day 5639 (11/06/2025)

Back at work, with loads to do before we are going away.  My wife made a nice middle eastern type meal for dinner. 

Day 5638 (10/06/2025)

In the office all day, as I have work to do before going away and my wife went to Bristol to see her aunty, so I didn't have a car to go to the gym. 

My wife made a tasty mushroom & lentil stew in the evening. 

Day 5637 (09/06/2025)

Back at work and back to the gym.

My wife made a nice pasta for dinner. 

Day 5635 & 5636 (07 & 08/06/2025)

The weekend and time to relax a bit, but answer a few emails. I made a nice spaghetti bolognaise in the evening.  

Very tasty, with a nice glass of wine. 

On Sunday I saw my parents for breakfast, then home to do a bit of work. Then I made a tasty roast beef for dinner in the afternoon / evening.

Very nice.
