Day 5726 & 5727 (06 & 07/09/2025)

We had a nice relaxing morning, then of for a nice brunch at The Downs Cafe.

Then after laying flowers at Mary's grave we went off to Tyntesfield aNational Trust place, which we last visited in 2013.  

Then home, where we ordered a tasty gyros. 

Sunday I saw my parents for breakfast, then home to do some work, then made a lovely roast beef diner. 

All very tasty, along with a nice botte of Kylie.  

Day 5725 (05/09/2025)

A busy morning at work, then we had some nice sushi for lunch.

Then we went off, stopping at Weston Super mare for Fish & Chips, which were lovely but I couldn't finish.  

Then off to stay the night in Bristol. 

Day 5724 (04/09/2025)

Busy with work but had time for the gym.

I was going to make spaghetti bolognaise for dinner, but I had some urgent work to do, so my wife made dinner instead. 

Day 5723 (03/09/2025)

Back to work and back to the gym.

We had some leftover salad in a wrap for lunch, with some salmon. 

My wife went to a fitness class in the evening, so we had a late dinner, when I made a Chinese, with chicken thighs, which was nice. 

Day 5722 (02/09/2025)

We had brunch and a fairly relaxed morning. 

Took my wife to the dentist in the afternoon for a filling, then in the evening we had a tasty salad, wrap, with some baked halloumi and spicy dressing.  

Day 5721 (01/09/2025)

It's September already, the summer is finished :-( but at least it time for a new picture of Kylie. 

In the afternoon the roofers came over to do a temporary repair, which we were grateful of. 

In the evening we had some pasta. 

Day 5719 & 5720 (30 & 31/08/2025)

It's the weekend, hoping to relax a bit and spend time with my wife, starting with a nice and nearly healthy brunch.  

As we had leftovers last night, my wife made what she had meant to do last night, which were some tasty salmon meat ball things, on rice, with an avocado dressing.  

Sunday I went to see my parents for breakfast, then went home to do a few things. In the evening we went to the Turmeric Kitchen, for a vegan buffet, which was very tasty, and made a pleasant change for a Sunday.   

I wish I could have eaten more, I tried most things but no longer have the appetite or capacity to just eat and eat like I used to. 

Day 5718 (29/08/2025)

Rather annoyingly I was woken in the night with water coming in thru the bedroom ceiling on to me in the bed. Thankfully it wasn't much and soon stopped but it was clear we had a slight issue with the roof. Luckily I was able to get someone out first thing, who discovered, as I knew they would, that the lead flashings in the gully between the old roof and the extension was broken, and needed repair on both sides.

I suppose it has lasted 20 odd years without incident but think it might be an expensive long-term fix, which they can't do for a few weeks but they will be back on Monday to do a temporary fix, so we are hoping for a few dry days (looking at the weather forecast there is no chance of it being dry, so it's just fingers crossed).  

I had work to do, then we finished off the French onion soup, so didn't need dinner and just had an evening snack of melted cheese on toast with tomato. 

Day 5717 (28/08/2025)

I took my wife to work, so I had to car to do a few chores and so I could go to the gym. 

I made some vegetarian French onion soup in the evening, with large cheesy croutons.   

It was not quite what I had wanted but not too bad for a first attempt. 

Day 5716 (27/08/2025)

Work & gym.

We had a late lunch, so didn't have dinner in the evening. 

Day 5715 (26/08/2025)

A day off with my wife, and she found some easter crumpets in the freezer.

I did some work during the day, then had a Doctors appointment in the afternoon, to explain about my weight loss and come off of some of the blood pressure medication. Hopefully everything is moving in the right direction, so I will be much healthier next year than I have been for the last few years. 

We had a coffee and shared a cake, then in the evening had some left over Mexican. 

Day 5714 (25/08/2025)

Bank Holiday, with my wife at work for the morning, then off to Bristol to see some family for the afternoon. 

With some lovely food and drinks.  

It was a lovely day.
