Tuesday

 I got up at 7 o’clock after a good night ‘s sleep and the sun was shining for the second day in a row. When son got up he said he was going to work on his van today. I put on a load of washing when I got up and when it was done I hung it out. I worked in the garden this afternoon and have started cutting round the bricks round the lawn. It always takes me a long time to finish it but it’s worth it because it makes the whole garden look tidy. For dinner tonight we had salmon with potatoes carrots broccoli asparagus and mushrooms. Dessert was strawberries. As soon as our son had had his dinner he got ready to go climbing.

 I got up at 6.40 and put on a load of washing. I then had my breakfast 🍳 eggs. When the washing was done I hung it out, it was really windy so I put an extra peg in everything. I emptied the dishwasher and put everything away. Our youngest son is home for the weekend, so today we went for a walk round the lake at Blickling Hall. It was a nice walk but very windy and quite cold. The car park was full and so was the cafe when we went for a coffee. We got our drinks from a mobile stall and took it back to the car. For dinner tonight we had duck legs with cauliflower carrots broccoli peas and potatoes. For dessert we had blackberries and blueberries with ice cream and cream.

 I had a better nights sleep and didn’t get up till 7.30 . I had my breakfast 🍳 and made myself a fresh cup of tea because H had made a pot of tea and poured me a cup out an hour before I got up! It was stone cold. Next I got ready to go to Lidl. When we got home I put all the shopping away and changed into my cycle shorts to ride upstairs as it was pouring with rain as it always does on Lidl day. I rode for an hour and did 16.7 miles, I rode the London route which I haven’t done for ages. We had cheese and biscuits for lunch with a cup of bovril. For dinner tonight we had beef and rice in black bean sauce followed by a tiramisu and a cup of tea. I was supposed to be going to the City tomorrow to meet my sister in law but we have put it off till next Wednesday because the weather tomorrow is not going to be good.

Monday

 I haven’t been able to write a blog for ages because I couldn’t get the page up to type on. I thought I would just look this morning and it came up right away,so I thought I had better blog now in case I cannot get it later. Last Wednesday is when it went wrong. We went out for dinner that night, it was our Christmas present from our youngest granddaughter and her boyfriend. They came and picked us up and took us somewhere we had never been before. It was a lovely place and the meals were delicious. I had fish and chips, because I have difficulty in cutting my food up and I am a slow eater. H had fish pie, one of his favourites. My fish and chips were very nice. H enjoyed his. 

On Thursday I went to the zoo with my daughter and the 2 grandchildren it was a lovely day out, the sun ☀️ shone and the children were as good as gold. They are a laugh a minute. On Saturday H and I went for a bike ride along the track to Whitwell were we sat on the station platform enjoying a coffee and an ice cream in the sun. Yesterday I did some housework and some gardening. I gardened for the first time this year without sleeves, it was the first time it has been warm enough, when I looked at my last years diary it was the same day as last year that I took my cardigan off. I had a terrible nights sleep last night and today I am really tired, H has just gone up to turbo but I won’t be doing anything.
