Friday

 we have had a good day. I was up at 4.30 because my back was so painful I couldn’t sleep. So I washed and dressed and emptied the dishwasher and put it all away. Then I got breakfast ready H came downstairs, he hadn’t slept well either because it’s too hot. We had our breakfast and then I got on with some housework before it got any hotter. At 10.30 our daughter arrived to ride on the turbo trainer. H put her on a hard course where she had to ride up a volcano. She did really well. Before she left we sat in the garden and had a cup of tea. When she left we got ready to go out on our bikes. It was H’s first ride outside since he had his accident. We did 18.2 miles. It was terribly hot but it was a nice ride and he did well. When we got home we had our cheese roll for lunch and a pear 🍐 for dessert. We hadn’t been home long and our no 1 son rung us from his work. He began to talk about his motor bike! I didn’t know what he was talking about . He said he had broken down, I asked why he was telling me that when he was atwork, and he said because I might wonder why his motor bike was outside our house without him. We hadn’t seen it and didn’t know it was there. For dinner tonight we curry 🍛. 

Wednesday

 I went to bed last night feeling fine and woke up this morning with a bad back ! It’s typical because we had planned to go out today nd I was looking forward to it. Well we went anyway but didn’t walk as far as we were going to because of my back. H did really well and we enjoyed our day. We went to Blickling, we had a coffee as soon as we arrived and then we walked through the gardens and went and had a look at the lake. We watched a play and went round the walled garden. We had an ice cream before we left . It was hot 🥵 and we were glad to be home. We didn’t go round the house because we went last year. For dinner tonight we had chicken bits in bread crumbs with chips and peas, a peach 🍑 for dessert. Yesterday we had chops with carrots, potatoes and kale, with strawberries for dessert.

 Today is our great granddaughter’s 6 th birthday so I decided to bike 🚲 round with her birthday present. H got my bike out for me and oiled the chain for me. It was so hot, I had to have a bag on my back and it stuck to me. Any my ride went well and I enjoyed it I didn’t hurry.  She had got some lovely presents and both the children were so pleased to see me. When I got home H was sitting in the garden in the sun but he went straight into the kitchen and made me a coffee while I was upstairs changing out of my cycle clothes. For dinner tonight we had cod, chips and peas. It was very nice.

 I put a load of washing on as soon as I got up, all our towels and bath mat. It was a good dry and I was able to put them all back. It was a lovely sunny day for a chance so l put my shorts on and sat in the sun ☀️ when I was too hot I did some weeding, I don’t know where they all come from, they keep growing even though we’ve had hardly any rain. H had beans on toast for lunch and I had cheese and a tomato. He came out and sat in the garden with me this afternoon so we are both a bit pink. For dinner tonight we had pork chops with broccoli, leeks and potatoes. 

Sunday

 I had a good sleep  for a change. We had our breakfast and I did a load of washing.  We had some more rain so I didn’t hang the washing out. At 11 o’clock I got ready to turbo. I was going very well and was going to ride for an hour and a quarter, but I was riding with my head down not looking at the screen and when I looked up my avatar had stopped even though I was still peddling.so I gave up. For lunch we had cheese and biscuits and a peach. I did a little gardening this afternoon and for dinner tonight we had meat balls and spaghetti with a tomato sauce. 

Saturday

I went for a walk this morning when the drizzle stopped. I only walked a mile it was to post a letter. I didn’t have to water again. I was going to have a ride on the turbo trainer, but now I am going to do it tomorrow while I am listening to the Archers. For lunch I had cheese but H had peanut butter on toast. This afternoon we watched an old film it was about queen Elizabeth the first. While we were watching it the door bell 🔔 rang. It was our daughter in law who was on her way home from her allotment and had called to give us some broad beans and a huge broccoli. So for dinner we had salmon with jacket potatoes, broccoli and broad beans. It was really nice. 

Friday

 I didn’t have such a good sleep last night. Today our daughter came round to ride on the turbo trainer again. She’s set her father a target. I expect he will be up there tomorrow trying to beat it. I did some housework because it kept raining 🌧 so I couldn’t do the garden. This afternoon I went for a walk, I went to the village pond and sat watching the ducks in the sunshine when it started to cloud over so I started to walk back. I was going to go the long way round but it turned darker so I went back the way I came. I just got in the door and it started raining. I had made the right decision. For dinner tonight we had a steak pie with potatoes, cabbage, leeks and broccoli.
