Monday

I got up at 6.35 and had a slice of toast for breakfast with a cup of tea. I hung out yesterday’s washing and made the bed. We had a coffee and the conservatory men arrived. They put the frame up and the windowsill on etc and H and I got ready to go out on our bikes and left them to it. We had a lovely ride and did 34.7 miles. 17 of the miles were off road so quite hard because yesterday’s rain had made places quite sticky. We saw our first swallow of the year on our ride, it’s the earliest we have ever seen one. We also saw a buzzard which flew really low over our heads and then landed in a tree in front of us. When we got home I made more drinks for the builders and us, then H had a tin of rice for his lunch and I had a hot cross bun. The conservatory roof is on now so it should dry out and we can have the floor put in. Also the door is on and it’s looking good. When the builders left we had a bath and a cup of tea. We had a nice dinner this evening, we had M&S sticky ribs with new potatoes, cauliflower and leeks. The conservatory should be finished tomorrow apart from having the wall plastered which they can’t do till it’s dried out.
