 I had my breakfast then I emptied the dishwasher and started to restack it. I got dressed and we went shopping. After that I went to the doctors to get n appointment with a doctor for my DVLC  complete checkup. They gave me a double slot,so goodness knows what they are going to do to me. On the way home from there I called in at the post office to get some stamps for my Christmas cards, but the queue was so long I couldn’t wait. I had already spent over half an hour in the surgery and H outdoor be wondering where I was. When I want indoors he went up to turbo and I went into the garden to clear up some more hedge trimmings.  I stayed out there till I couldn’t feel my fingers. This afternoon I started to write my Christmas cards. For dinner tonight we had pasta  followed by an orange.

 I decorated the Christmas 🎄 tree before I had my breakfast this morning . Then I had my eggs 🥚 they stayed whole so I knew I was going to have a good day. It was pouring with rain when I got up and we were supposed to be going out with out with our daughter and great grand son for a walk. Well the rain stopped in time for us to go. We drove to Whitlingham and had a lovely walk round the lake, we went for a coffee and something to eat in the cafe when we had done. The walk was just over 2 miles. Yesterday I did some clearing up in the garden and Tuesday I didn’t do anything much because it was my 86 th birthday. H took me out to lunch which was a lovely and then I didn’t have to cook that evening so it was a double treat. Last night we had bacon, eggs, pigs in blankets baked beans and grilled tomatoes. And tonight we had beef ribs with cabbage carrots and potatoes.

Monday

 I got up at 6.30 and had my breakfast eggs 🍳. We were going out on our bikes today but H didn’t want to go and I wasn’t too keen, so H went on the turbo and son and I went fossil hunting at West Runton. We didn’t have much luck. It was freezing down on the coast and it also poured with rain. We went for a paddle and my feet instantly went numb. Son said he wasn’t going to go in but just as I was coming out he joined me so I stayed in a bit longer. From there we drove to Sheringham where we had some chips and I also had a cup of tea. We sat inside because it was still raining. From there we went to Holt, we went to Bakers and Larners where I managed to get gluten free Christmas puddings ,we went to the greengrocers as well. When we got home I had a soak in the bath to get warm again and then I cooked dinner tonight we had salmon, jacket potatoes, broccoli, and carrots. We had melon 🍈 for dessert which my lovely daughter brought us. Son has just left.
