Day 2663 (14/04/2017)

Bank Holiday Friday and we had a fairly relaxing morning.

My wife went to visit her mum and I spent the day in the office catching up and then we had a fairly nice pizza in the evening.

Day 2662 (13/04/2017)

It was just a normal day in the office and went to the gym for a swim & a steam in the afternoon.

Mary seems happy and settled in her new home.

Day 2661 (12/04/2017)

I had work to do but at lunchtime I went to the osteopath to be squashed and pulled around and as always I felt much better. My back is completely cured but it's on the way. Then I went off to the pool for a swim & a steam.

My wife went straight up to Bristol after work as her mum was moving to a home, which went quite well but my wife stayed late, so wasn't home until very late, so I thought it would be relaxing if we went to the Worlds End for dinner.

Day 2660 (11/04/2017)

Tuesday and back to a relaxing start to the day and a nice breakfast with my wife.

I was supposed to be having a blood donor session but they cancelled due to staff shortages, so I had to reschedule and go to the the gym, where as my knee was hurting I went for a swim & a steam.

Thankfully my mother-in-law has been found a place in a home, so hopefully my wife should be having an easier life from now on.

Day 2659 (10/04/2017)

It was up early for me as I had to give a presentation in London, so my wife dropped me off at the train station on the way to work. Due to costs I had booked a standard ticket on the way, so it was quite packed and no free drinks on the train.

I got to the venue early enough to have a drink and a bite to eat first.

Then off to the venue, where they had cake.

The presentation went very well and its nice to keep my hand in.

Then back to Paddington, where I had booked a later train, so I could get a first class ticket. That left me time for a Mexican.

 

Then the first class lounge for a few cold drinks & snacks.

Then on the train, to a nice comfy seat in a nice quiet carriage with a complementary drinks trolley.

 

Then home, after quite a long day.

Day 2657 & 2658 (08 & 09/04/2017)

Saturday started with some nice fruit & pancakes.

I then spent the day working in the office whilst my wife was visiting her mother. She came home late again to quite a nice salad.

Sunday we had the maintenance man round to do a few jobs. We now have a lovely quiet flush on the toilet.

After 4years we finally have the arty thing put up on the wall.

And the gutters are now nice and clear, thanks to the worlds most powerful hoover.

I made a nice roast pork dinner in the evening.

Day 2656 (07/04/2017)

Another busy day in the office.

I was expecting the maintenance-man in the afternoon so had put all of my gym kit in the wash, then the maintenance-man asked if he could reschedule for Sunday, so I missed the gym and also have to miss my breakfast with my parents on Sunday :-(

Day 2655 (06/04/2017)

A busy day in the office and at the gym with my new regime of 10 minutes on the cross trainer and then doing a circuit of weights, finished off with some sit-ups.

 

In the evening I went to a pensioners meeting, when as well as hearing some positives about our fights against the bullies we had some nice food.

Day 2654 (05/04/2017)

At the start of the week I had no enthusiasm for work and would have happily retired on the spot, had 6 months off before starting writing.

Although I could do that and financially with a few changes to our lifestyle it wouldn't matter, I can't do it as people are reliant on me now. Damn staff and being an international businessman.

I have to give it at least another year to see if the company will be a success (which financially will be good). If it fails it is an easy choice.

Anyway I had a bit more enthusiasm by Wednesday and actually did a lot of work stuff and managed the gym.

  

Day 2653 (04/04/2017)

Working in the office and back to the gym. I've replaced the exercise bike with the cross trainer as my back still hurts.

 

I bought loads of nuts & fruits, so I had something healthy to munch on rather than having biscuits. 

 

 

Obviously I wont be eating them all in one go, thought they would last a few weeks.

Day 2652 (03/04/2017)

Working in the office and was just going to go to the gym when my wife came home and had made lunch.

Then I drove her to Bristol to checkout a care home for mum.

On the way back we stopped of fish & chips sat at weston sea front :-)

Day 2650 & 2651 (01 & 02/04/2017)

It's April, already, the year is flying by.

At least we get a new Kylie picture, even if it isn't as good in years gone-bye.

Did some work in the office whilst my wife was in Bristol checking out homes with and for her mother.

I must get out into the garden at some stage but it was raining in the afternoon.

In the evening I did a nice Mexican.

It was very tasty and there was loads left, so we will be having it again in the week.

Had a cheeky choux pastry & cream cake with our nighttime coffee.

On Sunday I invited my parents over for dinner as we were having the 5 bird roast.

 

It was a lovely dinner and a great afternoon with my parents.

Day 2649 (31/03/2017)

Another day, with stuff to do in the office and then having a swim. Back in the gym proper next week.

A nice lasagna in the evening.

Day 2648 (30/03/2017)

Another day in the office and going for a swim, punctuated by having a hair cut :-)

I can't stand it when the hair touches my ears, plus going to the gym every day its easier if my hair is short.

I made a nice Italian meal in the evening.

Day 2647 (29/03/2017)

Another day, in the office and having a swim.

I'm trying to get my wife to relax and do less (in relation to here mum) because as soon as she finished work she was home phoning up care homes and trying to arrange things and didn't finish until she fell asleep late into the night.

Obviously I would much rather she spent time looking after me :-)

Day 2646 (28/03/2017)

Loving my new comfy office chair.

Another day working and then going for a swim & a steam.

Day 2645 (27/03/2017)

After a full but nice weekend I had planned on a nice relaxing day but my new chair arrived first thing and I spent the first hour putting it together.

So much better and so much more comfortable.

I got another sticker for the garden waste, I am aiming to completely cover it like some annoying person.

Had a nice swim & steam at the gym, still letting my back recover.

Day 2644 (26/03/2017)

Sunday and it's Mothers Day and we started with a nice breakfast and were joined by Lee.

 

We then spent a few hours in the sun on the beach, which was lovely

 

 

Then we went off to Stanmer House for a special Mothers Day meal.

Unfortunately they had booked in many more people than they could cope with, so we waited over an hour for a drink and the food wasn't great, so we didn't pay full price, whilst others had got up and walked out.

 

 

 

 

 

Even thou the meal was a bit of a disaster it was quite funny afternoon and great to be together.

Then a long drive home from a great few days catching up with the kids.
