I got up at six and as soon as I had eaten my breakfast I got ready to go shopping when I got home I unpacked it all and put it all away. We had a coffee and a cake. Then i walked down to the post office to post a Christmas card to New Zealand. When I got home i wrote the last of my Christmas cards and wrapped 2 more of my Christmas presents. For dinner we had ribs with broccoli,carrots and potatoes.

Today has been a busy day. This morning we walked to the chemist, and this afternoon I put the Christmas tree up and decorated it. The lights took an hour to untangle but they work which is the main thing. For dinner tonight we had a jacket potato with mince and beans and for pudding we had baked apples with custard.

I got up at six o’clock and had my breakfast, when I heard H moving around upstairs I made a pot of tea. I washed up some sauce pans because they would not fit in the dish washer. I did some cleaning up in the kitchen and then I read some of my book until it was time for me to go on the turbo. I rode for an hour and eighteen minutes and did nearly 22 miles. I had a quick shower when I had finished and got dressed because our daughter was coming round to bring my birthday present. My birthday is on Wednesday so I haven’t opened them but there was a lovely bunch of flowers in the bag , I had to take them out and put them in water. With her was her husband, youngest daughter and her boyfriend. It was lovely to see them all. For dinner we had sausages, chips, peas and garlic bread. We had beef stew yesterday and the day before because I made it big enough for 2days. We had dumplings with it on Friday and yesterday we had garlic croutons ..

I had a good weekend which lasted till today. Our son left last night so yesterday we all went for a walk in the afternoon. We walked in some woods and it was really muddy,I was glad I was wearing my wellies. I prepared the vegetables for dinner before we went so I could get straight on with the meal when we got home. We had salmon with veggies, ice cream for dessert. Today I went shopping, as I drove to the store in full sunshine,in front of me was a beautiful rainbow. I went in to the store and 2 people came in after me and they were soaked. When I had finished shopping and came out of the shop the sun was shining but everything was wet . It must have been a cloud burst because the puddles were huge!

Yesterday I went for a walk with my son and we got round in the dry. It was raining before we went and again after we finished, so we were very lucky. Today we went for another walk, we went to Blickling and walked through a wood. We weren’t so lucky today, we had almost got back to the car when it began to rain but we didn’t get wet. We had a coffee and a bun we started the walk.for dinner tonight we had lamb with sprouts, potatoes, carrots, leek and broccoli. Dessert was stewed apple and cream.

Today I went to the City where I met my sister in law. First we went for a coffee, we sat for ages catching up with all the news and then we started shopping. I bought some Christmas presents. We went into “
“ the lanes” and found some lovely shops with different things. It was time for lunch, we went to Harriet’s where we had booked a table, the soup of the day was tomato and red peppers,so we decided to have that. It was delicious , you get 2 huge chunks of bread with it and butter and it was lovely. I walked 3. 35 miles so I got some exercise in. For dinner tonight we had salmon with a jacket potato and garlic bread.
