Thursday

 I keep having trouble with my blog, I wrote a long one on Monday all about my lovely weekend, but I couldn’t post it for some reason. I thought I would try again tonight. We went shopping 🛒 this morning, I did some gardening this afternoon and for dinner tonight we had pizza and salad. I am not adding to this because I may not be able to post it. 

Friday.

 We got up and as soon as we had finished our breakfast we got ready to go shopping 🛒. When we got home we had a coffee and cake and I popped out for a short walk. I took a photo of some frogspawn. When I got home I hung my washing out. I then got on with the housework. When I finished we had our lunch. I went into the garden and did some more weeding. When I went in I got the washing in all dry. For dinner tonight we had a curry.   

Thursday.

 I have just had my fourth day of being pain free. I think my back is finally better. I did some more weeding this morning and this afternoon H and I walked down to the pond to see if there was any frog spawn. I forgot to start my phone straight away so I didn’t record all my walk. It was the best day of the year so far weather wise. I gardened in a t shirt for the first time this year. For dinner tonight we had lamb steaks with carrots, purple sprouting broccoli, and sproutlets , fruit for dessert. 

Wednesday

 I thought yesterday was Wednesday so I titled my blog wrong. This morning after I had finished my breakfast I emptied the dishwasher and put everything away. I washed up the porridge saucepan and wiped  all the worktops. Next we got the bikes out and H cleaned and oiled the chains. We got ready and went out on our bikes. We went along the track to Whitwell and back. 15. 57 miles . It was a really nice ride the sun was out all the time and the wind  had dropped. For lunch we had cheese, and crisps and I had a cup of bovril and H had a cup a soup. For dinner tonight we had Frikadellen, chips and peas.

First we went to our granddaughters to post a birthday card through the door for her husband. From there we went to Lidl and from there we went to the doctors surgery to put our prescriptions in. Yesterday for dinner we had liver ,onions, baked beans and chips. Tonight we had chicken soup followed by Cornish pasties. This afternoon I went outside and did some more weeding.

 I had a good nights sleep again. I had my breakfast 🍳 and ran the vacuum cleaner over the floor. Then I had a coffee. After that I got ready to turbo , I did an hour and a half and managed to do 20.8 miles. I was really slow, but that’s what I wanted to do. When I finished I changed out of my shorts and our no 1 son came round. He brought me some purple sprouting broccoli from his wife who grew in on her allotment. We had cheese on toast for lunch,and for dinner tonight we had lasagna and broad beans. 

Saturday

 I had a good nights sleep 💤. I had my usual breakfast 🍳 and then I washed and dressed. I emptied the dishwasher and put everything away. I tidied the kitchen and H went for a turbo. It was warming today, yesterday we had no internet so he couldn’t do it. I thought it was a good job because it does him good to have a day off. I am going to do it tomorrow because it’s too cold to ride outside. It might be warm enough by Wednesday. For lunch we had a cheese and beetroot sandwich, I went for a walk this afternoon the sun was lovely but the wind was icy 🥶. For dinner tonight we had salmon en crout with purple sprouting broccoli and jacket potatoes.

 Today. Was my day in the City with my sister in law, I had a nice time. We met at 10.30 in M & S and walked to the Royal Arcade, where we went to Marmalade for coffee. It’s the first time I have been there. Next we walked through the back of the inns going into shop to look at clothing. After that we went to Jarrolds and walked round their deli’ I love looking at their cheese and all the pies and cakes. It all looked delicious. Then it was time for us to go for lunch. After that it was time for us to go our separate ways. I got my bus home and because I hadn’t done much walking in the City I got off a stop before mine so I had a bit more of a walk. When I got home I had a phone call from my daughter telling me my sister in law who lives in New Zealand has died. The poor woman has been ill for several years and in a home for quite some time.
