Tuesday ( last day of February)

 I got up at 6.52 , made a pot of tea and put on a load of washing. I had an egg and some red pepper for breakfast. When the washing was done I hung it out. Next I dressed and H went up to turbo and I cleaned the kitchen and vacuumed all downstairs. When H had finished his ride we got ready and went to Lidl, on the way there we took my prescription to the doctors surgery. When we had finished our grocery shop we went to the garden centre for some birthday cards. When we got home I sat and read a chapter of my book and then I took my blood pressure. It was 127/69. I was really pleased with this as I had been busy all day. I got my washing in but it was nearly as wet as it was when I hung it out. We had chilli for dinner with a cup of tea and a hot cross bun.

Monday 27 th.

 i got up at 7.35 and I had a slice of toast with butter and marmite, and a mug of tea. I emptied the   added dishwasher and put everything away and took some sausages and mince out of the freezer for dinner tonight. I got H to finely chop an onion for me and I mixed it with the mince and made burgers.. I added salt pepper and an egg to bind it  and I used plain GF flour to coat it in. We went for bike ride yesterday so we didn’t go out today ,son went and had a hair cut. As soon as we had finished dinner son got ready and left for his journey home .

Friday 17th

After breakfast we went to Asda and then to our Daughters to drop off our youngest granddaughters birthday present and card. She’s going to be 20 tomorrow. On the way home we went to the chemist to pick up my prescription. It wasn’t ready. I will have to go back tomorrow. Which is a pity because I want to go out on my bike .when we got home  we had a coffee and then H went up for a turbo and I watched 2 hours of Happy Valley. When H finished we had our lunch which was pilchards and bread and butter. When I finished mine I went outside to do some gardening. I stayed out there till H called me in for a cup of tea. After that I had a bath and cooked dinner.

Thursday

 l got up at 6-45 and had my breakfast, egg and red pepper.then I vacuumed all downstairs. By the time I had finished it was 9.25 and time for me to get ready for a ride upstairs on the bike. I only went slowly and it was a hilly route so I only did 12.6 miles in the hour. Now my knees are really stiff . When I had done H went up for a ride. When he had done we had spaghetti on toast for lunch. And for dinner tonight we had sticky ribs and wings with cauliflower and new potatoes. 

Monday (-1this morning)

 I went to the doctor this morning for a blood test.when I got home we had a coffee and then I went out into the garden. I did some more clearing up. It all takes me so much longer to do anything now, I look at all I have to do and it’s daunting. We had left over stew for dinner tonight it was nice. I made a loaf of bread this morning and we  both had a slice of it in our stew. Tomorrow I have got to go back to the doctors. 

Sunday

 As soon as I had finished breakfast I vacuumed all down stairs then I washed the kitchen floor and the downstairs toilet floor. After that I made a turkey stew for dinner tonight then I went outside to do some gardening. I went in at lunch time and we had soup for lunch. When I had eaten mine I went back out to do some more weeding. I came in when the sun went. I had a bath and washed my hair. The stew was delicious and there’s enough left for us to have it again tomorrow. I have to go to the doctor tomorrow morning for a blood test.

Friday

 we went shopping and when we got home I unpacked and put everything away. We had a coffee and H went upstairs for a ride so I went outside to work in the garden. We were going out on our bikes today but I felt rubbish. I enjoyed my gardening I was out there for about 2hours and was as warm as toast . But I went in because I got a bit of a headache. I think it was being bent over for that long I haven’t done it for a while. This time you can see what I have done. When I we in H had just finished his ride so we had our lunch, cheese and biscuits. I didn’t go out again. 

Since last weekend when I couldn’t goer out of the bath I have been having showers. But today I decided to get in the bath because H said he didn’t mind lifting me out and I do love a bath. But I managed to get myself out. It’s made my day. I have been feeling like I am going backwards and getting worse instead of better. 

Thursday

 I got up at 6.15 and put on a load of washing. After breakfast I went up to wash and dress and then I hung out the washing. I then worked in the garden, I went in for lunch, soup. Then I went back out to carry on with the garden. You still can’t see where I’ve been. A lot of my snowdrops are out and they look really pretty. We had a stir fry for dinner and it was nice I chopped up all the pork we had left over from the weekend and added it to the veggies. It made a nice change because I usually add prawns 🍤.

Wednesday February 1st.

 I got up at 6.15 and put on a load of washing. When it was done I hung it out. It’s the first time I have hung any out for ages. We had spaghetti on toast for lunch. After lunch H fell asleep so I thought I would have a try, I laid down on the settee and when I woke up I had been asleep for an hour. I went and got my washing in and it was dry enough for the airing cupboard.  We had chilli 🌶 for dinner.
