**Today I...** Spent most of the morning messaging with John Taylor on Facebook. He mentioned his upcoming X Factor audition and seemed excited but nervous. We joked around a bit—I teased him about the hot weather, which he hates, while I don’t mind it. Somehow the conversation turned to the invention of the wheel, and I made up a story about a guy named Nigel Wheel who supposedly invented it and won a Nobel Prize in Physics in 1439 BC. John d…

Today I woke up around 8 AM and checked my messages. John had sent me a few updates about his work—he’d done 17 emails to clients and was preparing a mail shot. He mentioned he only slept three hours, going to bed at 2 AM and waking up at 5. We talked about the £50 he transferred to me, but it hadn’t shown up in my account yet. He joked about songs and guitar playing, and we briefly discussed meeting up, but I told him I had plans to go to Newcas…

Today I woke up around 7:30 AM at home on Tavistock Road. The weather was overcast but dry. I made coffee and had toast with peanut butter for breakfast while checking emails on my phone. There wasn't anything urgent in my inbox. I left for work at TLC around 8:45 AM. Traffic was lighter than usual, so I arrived by 9:10. Spent the morning reviewing project timelines and responding to client queries. Around 11:00, we had a team meeting to discuss…

Today I woke up around 7:30 AM after a restless night. The room was colder than usual, so I pulled the blanket tighter before finally getting up. I made coffee and scrolled through emails on my phone while sitting at the kitchen table. There wasn’t anything urgent, just a few newsletters and a message from an old colleague. Around 9 AM, I walked to work at TLC. The morning air was crisp, and I noticed a few people out jogging. At the office, I…

Today I woke up around 8:30 AM at home on Tavistock Road. The weather was overcast but dry. I made coffee and scrambled eggs for breakfast while checking emails on my phone. There wasn't anything urgent in my inbox, just a few newsletters and some social media notifications. After breakfast, I did some laundry and tidied up the living room. I noticed the plants needed watering, so I took care of that too. Around 11 AM, I walked to the corner sho…

There weren't any urgent messages from work at TLC. Around 10 AM, I walked to the local grocery store to pick up some milk and eggs. On the way back, I ran into a neighbor who was walking his dog.

**Today I...** This morning I woke up around 8:30 AM and checked my phone. I had a message from John Taylor about his card being cloned—some unauthorized transactions from a food company in Cheshire. He was pretty frustrated about it. We ended up talking about phones for a bit because he mentioned hating Nokia smartphones. I told him my dad wants a smartphone with proper buttons but not a Blackberry. We agreed to have a quick call later to tal…

Today I went to 548 Attercliffe Road in Sheffield around 9:57 AM. I stayed there for nearly three hours, leaving around 12:43 PM. I don’t recall the exact reason for the visit, but given the duration, it was likely for an appointment or meeting of some kind. The location is in an industrial area, so it might have been work-related, though I wasn’t at TLC that day. After leaving, I didn’t have any other logged locations or activities. I probabl…

**Today I...** Spent most of the morning at home, checking messages and emails. John Taylor reached out on Facebook with some concerning news—Bo had been attacked by her ex. He grabbed her and covered her mouth, which is especially worrying since she’s pregnant. John sounded really shaken up about it. He said he wouldn’t be in Manchester tomorrow because he had to go see someone, probably related to the situation. We ended up reminiscing a …

Today I woke up around 8:30 AM after a decent night’s sleep. The first thing I did was check my phone and saw a message from John about the football match. He was really hyped about City playing Rotherham, calling it the biggest game of the season. I thought about going, but I had work at TLC later, so I messaged him back saying I couldn’t make it. I did mention that if the match was in Chesterfield, maybe we could meet up in Sheffield afterward,…

**Today I...** Started the day at home, though I don’t recall the exact morning routine. Later in the evening, around 8:21 PM, I went to Castle Hill Hospital in Cottingham. I was there for about 34 minutes, but I didn’t note the reason—maybe visiting someone or attending an appointment. Earlier in the day, I exchanged messages with John Taylor. He mentioned his partner might be 4 to 6 weeks pregnant, and that she’d only ever been with him. …

**Today I...** Spent the day in Hull, staying at the De Vere Village hotel. Woke up early, around 7 AM, and had breakfast at the hotel. The place has a gym and pool, but I didn’t use them this morning—just grabbed coffee and something quick to eat. After breakfast, I headed to my dad’s flat to check on things. He’s got some commercial properties here, so I sorted through a few maintenance issues. Nothing urgent, just making sure everything …

**April 11, 2013** Today was busy, mostly spent at work. I had several meetings, though I don’t remember the exact details—just that it kept me occupied most of the day. After work, I stopped by Waitrose on Ecclesall Road around 7:00 PM to pick up a few things. I was only there for about 10 minutes, probably grabbing groceries for the trip to Newcastle tomorrow. Later, John messaged me about coming to Sheffield to play pool and stay over. T…

**Today I...** Spent most of the day at home, but later in the evening, I went to Endcliffe Park around 11:14 PM. Walked around for about half an hour—probably just needed some air or time to think. The park was quiet at that hour. Earlier, I messaged John about playing pool tonight. He wanted to come over but said he couldn’t afford the train fare. I reminded him he still owes me £43, which he hasn’t paid back. He suggested borrowing money…

**Today I...** This morning I went to Sheffield Hallam University City Athletics Stadium around 11:46 AM. I was only there for about 15 minutes—probably just dropping something off or meeting someone briefly. Later in the afternoon, I went back to the same stadium at 5:11 PM, this time staying for just 11 minutes. Maybe I forgot something earlier or had a quick follow-up. I messaged Bijan about planning a weekend trip to Berlin in May wi…

**Today I...** Started the day checking messages and saw that John had written to say he was feeling very unwell—high temperature, shivering, headache, and fatigue. He mentioned this was the fourth time he’d been sick this year, which seemed unusual. I told him he might need to see a doctor if his fever got too high. He joked about wearing a mask to avoid getting sick again, but it sounded like he was really struggling. We also talked about…

**Sunday, April 7, 2013** This morning I drove a Ferrari and an Aston Martin around a race track. The Ferrari was fast, but I actually preferred the Aston Martin—it felt more fun to drive, with better handling and a more satisfying engine sound. I spent a couple of hours there, enjoying the experience and pushing the cars a bit on the track. In the afternoon, around 2:48 PM, I went to the Metrocentre. I was only there for about 12 minutes, …

**Today I...** This morning I was at Doncaster station, likely heading to or from Sheffield. I messaged John Taylor about train ticket prices and travel plans, discussing the possibility of going to Leeds with friends later. John mentioned the trains were unusually busy because of the Grand National day at Aintree, which explained the crowds. At some point, I must have returned to Sheffield. In the evening, around 6:45 PM, I went to Endclif…

He seemed worried about potential lung cancer, so I replied to reassure him and offer support. We also talked about meeting up—he mentioned going to Bradford, then possibly heading to Leeds together. I suggested we could take the train and maybe play some po…

Today I spent much of the day dealing with tasks related to the mortgage application. I had meetings with two banks — I don’t remember the exact times, but both meetings went fairly smoothly. The discussions were mostly about the terms of the mortgage and what documents they still needed. It looks likely that the mortgage will be approved, which is a relief. I’ve been thinking more seriously about the next steps with the property purchase and try…

**Today I...** Started the day by heading to Attercliffe Road around 9:30 AM. I was there for about five and a half hours—not sure exactly what I was doing, but it must have been work-related since I don’t usually spend that much time in that area otherwise. Later, I messaged Bijan about possibly booking a weekend trip to Berlin for our grandfather’s 80th birthday. He’s busy with a project deadline on the 21st and has tutorials right after,…

**Today I...** Woke up late after being out in Darlington last night. John messaged me about it, saying it was shameful to be out on a Sunday night, which made me laugh. I didn’t feel too rough, just a bit tired. Spent the morning catching up on messages. John and I talked about the boat race—Oxford won, which we both thought was a good result. He mentioned he’s moving in on Tuesday, so I’ll need to make sure everything’s ready for that. We…

**Today I...** Woke up around 8:30 AM to clear skies and mild weather—unusually warm for late March. Had a quick breakfast at home before heading out.

Work was busier than usual, with order volumes up by 22% compared to last Friday. Probably because of the upc…

Around 9 AM, I got a Facebook message from John Taylor. He shared that he and his partner, Bo, are expecting a baby a…

**Today I...** Spent most of the morning at home, catching up on messages. Bijan messaged me about his MPhys project—he’s finishing the write-up but got rejected from two Oxford programs. He’s thinking about applying to universities in the US next year, maybe Boston or California. I told him the US can be hit or miss—some places are great, like NYC, but a lot of it is just dull suburbs. He’s worried about the cost and adjusting to life there, …

Today I woke up around 9:30 AM and spent some time checking emails and messages. John Taylor had messaged me about meeting up in Wakefield, so I started planning the trip. He mentioned he was tight on money because of a delayed tax payment and some personal issues with his partner, so I figured I’d cover lunch. I left home around noon and walked to the train station. The weather was cold but dry, typical for February. I caught the 12:30 train …

Around 9 AM, I walked to work since the weather was clear and not too cold. The route through Pitsmoor Road …

Today I woke up to heavy snowfall outside. The roads and pavements were covered, and it looked like transport might be difficult. I checked train schedules online, but there were already delays and cancellations due to the weather. I messaged Janice to discuss travel plans since we were supposed to meet up. She was worried about getting to the airport if trains weren’t running. I suggested booking a taxi as a backup and gave her the number for…

**January 1, 2013** Today I woke up feeling tired, probably from staying up late the night before. I drove into town at some point, but it was already late, so I didn’t call in or stop anywhere. I messaged Janice Rafraf about our plans for tomorrow, including meeting Susan and sorting out travel details. She mentioned she’d gotten a nice message from Suzana earlier and that she hadn’t drunk alcohol last night, so she wasn’t hungover. We als…
