Monday

 I got up at 6. 25. And had my breakfast eggs and pepper and a cup of tea. My back is still bad .  I haven’t got anything much to write about. I made a mutton stew for dinner and we had dumplings , there is enough left for tomorrow. Tomorrow we have to take our car for an M O T  . H had a turbo ride this morning and he also washed the car. He hasn’t done so much in a day for ages, his heart must be working well at last.

Sunday.

 I got up at 6.14 and had my breakfast eggs and red pepper.  I had 7 hours and 2 minutes sleep last night , wakeing up 10 times in the night. My back was still bad but I think it’s a bit better than yesterday. We had a coffee and then I got ready to turbo. I did an hour and managed to do 19.4 miles, so I was pleased with that. As soon as I had finished I got dressed and our Granddaughter came round with her boyfriend and her Mum and Dad. She had come to show us her new car, which is very nice. It was nice to see them all and catch up with them. We had chicken curry for dinner with fresh fruit for dessert. Now I am watching dancing on ice.

Saturday

 I had the best sleep ever 8 hours and 3 minutes! The only trouble is I woke up with a bad back ache. It’s still bad now , it’s not my normal pain and laying on the floor hasn’t helped at all. I had my eggs for breakfast and put the bins away. I did some vacuuming and did a load of washing and a load in the tumble dryer. For lunch we had a turkey roll and a packet of crisps. It’s been freezing all day. For dinner tonight we had spaghetti with meatballs in tomato sauce. It was very nice. I hope my back is better tomorrow because I am going to turbo.

I sat and read 3 chapters of my of my book. Then I wrote a letter to my friend. We had soup for lunch and then I went to post my letter. I thought I would go for a walk and was going to do over 2 miles but it was so cold I cut it short. When I got home I looked at the temperature and it was 1 degree. It also said it feels like minus 4 . For dinner tonight we had pizza 🍕.

Wednesday. Happy New Year 🥳

 I didn’t realise yesterday when I wrote my blog that it’s the first time I had written one since before Christmas. We had a lovely Christmas, we went to our daughters on Christmas Eve for lunch and on New Years Day we went to dinner. After dinner we played games ending with scrabble,I came last ! Last year I won. We had a couple of bikes rides,but the weather went downhill and put a stop to that. We also went for several walks in the countryside seeing buzzards,  deer ,squirrels and a green woodpecker.

Today I got up at 6 o’clock after a poor nights sleep (5 hrs) . After breakfast we went to Lidl. After lunch I went upstairs to ride on the static bike I did 1 lap of a course so 12 miles in 39 minutes. I dad 6 press ups had a bath and cooked dinner. We had haddock mornay and potatoes and broad beans followed by tiramisu.

Tuesday.

 Today H had an appointment at the hospital so they could check his pacemaker. It was freezing this morning and the ice took ages to melt, but it was a lovely sunny day, we haven’t seen the sun ☀️ for ages. When we left the hospital we went to the chemist to get our medication. On the other side of the road to the chemist there’s a fish and chip shop and it was open, so I got us fish and chips for lunch. They were nice. After that I went and worked in the garden, I cut all the dead things off . I was out there two and a half hours. It was lovely in the sun. It’s a pity it wasn’t as nice last week, we are very lucky in this part of the country when you see the floods in other parts,but I would have liked to see some snow.
