Day 5763 (13/10/2025)

Monday, all back to work, to of them with colds but Thomas is covering the office all week, so can't even go off sick.  

I cleared out some old devices from my office, which were cutting edge and essential on our courses only 10 - 15 years ago but now are museum items. 

Odd how I used to have to cart a dozen of these things round, making sure al the sim cards were topped up, which was an expensive pain. Ordered a new phone and laptop for work, as my other one was about 6 years old and starting to have issues. 

We have been watching a new series of Jamie Oliver, and are doing a few of his meals this week, with my wife (wearing a mask) making his cod wrapped in courgette, with tomato & pepper orzo, which was really tasty and very well presented, but did take a while to make and left my wife quite stressed. 

Day 5761 & 5662 (11 & 12/10/2025)

I was up early to finish off catching up with my work.  My wife was still full of a cold, so I made her brunch and in the afternoon, we decided to have a lazy day, watching the telly and relaxing. 

We finished off the leftover soup in the evening and a made some cardamom rice pudding for afters. 

My wife felt a bit better, so went in to work on Sunday. I saw my parents for breakfast, them tidied the garden a bit when I go back, but had a slight accident with on of the gnomes. 

Then I made a nice roast pork dinner, but my wife and now Thomas had colds, so I sat alone eating my dinner :-(  

It was very nice. 

Day 5760 (10/10/2025)

Another similar day, with my wife full of a cold and me with loads of work to do.  I made a tasty and rather overly filling egg & bacon roll for a brunch / lunch, then in the evening I cooked some tasty salmon parcels, with new potatoes and a some hollandaise sauce. 

Very tasty. 

Day 5759 (09/10/2025)

My wife was off today but her cold / flu really him home and she was full of it, so spent most of the day snoozing in-front of the telly, whilst I made us breakfast & lunch and did my work.  

In the evening I turned the leftover cauliflower & broccoli cheese into a tasty soup, with the addition of some vegi single cream and some vegetable stock. 

Obviously topped off with my signature giant cheesy croutons.

Very nice. 

Day 5758 (08/10/2025)

My wife had the start of a cold / flu but went off to work, whilst I was still snowed under with work. 

In the evening I cooked some pizza's for dinner, I turned my margherita into a tasty tuna & onion, with red chilli's. 

Day 5757 (07/10/2025)

Had quite a bit of work come in, so was busy in the office from first thing. 

Had some crumpets for brunch. 

And in the evening my wife made a nice sausage & onion dinner, with a cheesy cauliflower & broccoli

Day 5756 (06/10/2025)

Monday I was up early to do some work, then off to Bristol, on the train, to meet up with some old colleagues, one of whom I hadn't seen since about 1985. We spoke for hours but I forgot to take a picture of us but did take on of my lunch.

Then home to catch-up with work.  In the evening I wasn't that hungry, so just had some tea & toast, with jam for dinner.  

Day 5754 & 5755 (04 & 05/10/2025)

It was a very windy day in Taunton, not because of the curry but a storm. I did some work first thing, then we had some nice brunch.

We went out in the afternoon to buy a few things and have a coffee and share a cake, then in the evening I made a vodka rigatoni.  

Sunday was my parents Wedding Anniversary, so I saw them as I usually do but took over a card and some flowers and other bits. 

In the afternoon, we had some leftover curry bits for starters. 

Then in the evening we had some leftover vodka rigatoni.  

Day 5753 (03/10/2025)

My back felt a bit better but I had the appointment, so still went and I'm glad I did, as I always feel better after being manipulated and pulled around by the guys at The Beleveder Centre.

In the evening I made a tasty seafood curry, with a nice saag (spinach) panner. 

All with a nice bottle of cobra. 

Day 5752 (02/10/2025)

My back is still hurt :-( but I was able to get an appointment with the chiropractor tomorrow. 

Did some work during the day and had some nice pies & beans in the evening.

Day 5751 (01/10/2025)

October already.

Somehow I managed to hurt my back, just sat at my office chair :-( but still managed to go to the gym.

And then make dinner, chicken burger, with rosemary & parmesan fries, onion rings and salad, very tasty.
