An early start and an awful day, with it pouring with rain and blowing a gale. We wanted to make sure we weren't late for Mary's funeral and for probably the first time ever we were early for something.
It is quite a nice setting at South Bristol Cemetery & Crematorium, with nice views over the city.
Somewhat drained when we got home, so it was a quiet evening.

Day 3207 (11/10/2018)
Another busy day. I suggested going out for dinner in the evening to take my wife's mind off of tomorrow. So we went to Pizza Express and had quite a nice time.
Day 3206 (10/10/2018)
Just busy in the office, with quite a lot to do to refresh all the training, which I had meant to do during the summer but could get myself started, so now everything is a bit of a race against but looking better already.

Day 3205 (09/10/2018)
Another busy day in the office but took time out for a meeting, over a hot chocolate.
I always think never trust anyone whose worked for the security services, as you never know which side they are playing. So it was an interesting meeting but raised as many questions as answers.

Day 3202 & 3203 (06 & 07/10/2018)
It was a quite morning, with it just being the two of us this, with Lee away for a few days but coming back later and Thomas away checking out Universities. So we had a nice (& quiet) breakfast.
Then in the afternoon we picked Lee up and then went to Gary & Elaine's for a lovely Chinese take away.
As always it was a great evening with G&E.
Went to my Mum & Dad's for breakfast on Sunday, then home in time to tidy the garden, raking up the leaves and putting nearly all of the gnomes away for the winter.
Well nearly all of the gnomes :-)
I know it's far too early for Christmas and I had stores that put out early Christmas things but I thought it would be nice for my wife.
Then I did a nice pan friend pork chop for our Sunday roast, very tasty.
Yum Yum Yum

Day 3201 (05/10/2018)
Plenty to do in the office and in the evening we had my Mum & Dad round for dinner to celebrate their Wedding Anniversary. Cocking with an onion for the first time in a long time because of Thomas's strict diet, made our eyes sting really badly, quite odd.
So I did a prawn cocktail, with avocado & mozzarella for starters.
Then a nice spaghetti bolognese, with fresh egg pasta.
All very tasty and quite a nice night, which included the annual food porn of the M&S Christmas Food Catalogue :-)

Day 3199 (03/10/2018)
A busy day, with Lee going back to Brighton for a few days as they have show on this week, so I drove them up to catch the train from Bristol.
Then back to work in the office.

Day 3198 (02/10/2018)
It was an early start with my wife off to the dentist and me off for an overdue haircut.
Then time for a nice but slightly delayed breakfast.
Gary & Elaine popped round in the evening, so an ideal time for pizza for most of them but me and Gary shared a fish & chips as they really do large (& tasty) portions as our local shop.

It is October already, the year has really flown by but at least it is an excuse to see a new photo of Kylie from the Calendar.

Day 3195 & 3196 (29 & 30/09/2018)
An early start as there was football on which Thomas had invited my Dad over for but we had time for breakfast first.
I managed to do some work that had been hanging around for a while and then tidied the garden again, raking the leaves and starting to pack the gnomes away for the winter.
Me and Lee had breakfast at my Mum & Dads on Sunday, then made a nice roast, well more like three different roasts.

Day 3194 (28/09/2018)
A busy day in the office and hopefully good news coming from a meeting that my business partner had.
My wife went shopping in the afternoon and so we had some nice pizzas in the evening.

Day 3191 (25/09/2018)
A busy day as we had to drive into London for Lee and then drive back, so it was a bit of a tiring but worthwhile day.

Day 3190 (24/09/2018)
It was an early start and off to pick up my computer, then do the recycling and stop off at the garage as I was having issues with my key fob.
As my car has key-less locks & ignition, so reasonable important the fob worked and thankfully they changed the battery for free me.
If I had any money on me I may have attempted to buy a cake from the charity cake stand.
Then a busy day in the office.

Day 3188 & 3189 (22 & 23/09/2018)
It was nice to wake up in my own bed after an exhausting few days. Then we had a nice family breakfast then a few things to do, including raking up the leaves in that garden.
I guess I will be doing this every few days now that autumn is here but it feels more like winter.
Saturday I made a simple dinner for us all but made a nice roast on Sunday, with lamb for us, chicken for Thomas and a vegi option for Lee.
All very nice.
