Friday ( dull)

 I had to go to hospital this morning because I have a lump in my right breast. I saw a doctor who examined me and then asked if his trainee doctor could examine me too. Then I had a mammogram and after that an ultrasound. Then after that some one else came in and said my mammogram was clear . Everyone was so nice and helpful. On the way home we called in at Tesco’s and did our shopping. I didn’t sleep much last night so I feel quite tired. Our son got home last night at 5 minutes to midnight. We had a BBQ tonight. It was lovely sitting outside in our garden, not too hot for once. We had strawberries and cream for pudding. After we had eaten son and I went for a walk, when H goes to bed son and I will have a game of crib.

Thursday (rain)

 I couldn’t sleep last night ,it was too hot. After breakfast I vacuumed all downstairs and then dusted. I did some clearing up and made a loaf of bread. For lunch we had cheese and biscuits and at 2 o’clock I went out for a walk. I did my normal walk but I had to go to the letter box first and I also sat on a seat and watched 2 magpies. As I walked along the grass next to the road a deer 🦌 popped out of the hedge right in front of me . It wasn’t a muntjac. When I got home we went out into the back garden and dug up a shrub that was looking past it’s best. After that it was time for tipping point and after that I had a bath and washed my hair. Then I got dinner, steak pie, potatoes and cauliflower. No 2 son is coming home tonight for a long weekend. Tomorrow I have to go to hospital so I don’t expect to sleep much tonight.

 Today we went to Fellbrigg Hall. I did a load of washing when I got up and when it was done I hung it out. I emptied the dishwasher and put everything away and then we got ready to go out. I wore my new dress shoes and cardigan . First we went down to the chemist to get my pills and then on to Fellbrigg Hall . When we got there we found out that we couldn’t look round the Hall till 12 o’clock, so we went to have a cup of coffee first we also both had a fruit scone with jam and cream. The scones were delicious but the coffee was not as good as the coffee at Blickling. After that we went to find a seat to sit on and wait till the house opened. We went round the house it was interesting, but it was so hot. When we came out after an hour I was so hot 🥵 and it was just   as hot outside. We went round some of the gardens and then went to the walled garden and it is amazing and better than Blickling’s. When we got home we had a shandy and a pear. I got my washing in all dry and went up and had a nice cool bath. We had a chicken stir fry for dinner tonight and I have had a lovely day.

Tuesday (dull today but 21degrees)

 We went to the garden centre this morning where where I bought a dress and a cardigan. I am so pleased I got something that fitted me and doesn’t drag on the floor. Next we went to Lidl and when we got home Hubby went out and cut the front lawn and the back lawn. I tied my sun flowers to canes because they were blown over in the strong wind yesterday. I got my letter from the hospital today so now I know where I have to go. It’s on Friday so I was getting a bit worried.
