Friday

 I had a better nights sleep last night than the night before when I only had 3 hrs. Last night was 5 hours, still not good enough but moving in the right direction. Anyway I feel better for it. I got up at 6 o’clock and went straight out to water the garden, when I came i came in H was up so I made a pot of tea and we had our breakfast. 

Every evening H has to have 2 pills 💊 it is to keep his blood thin. I give him these at tea time but when I go away he will have to get them himself, so last night I said he had better start doing it himself. I then went up to watch Emmerdale when I came down this morning the first thing I see is his pills laying on the table! He got them out but didn’t take them. 

We went and filled the car with petrol ⛽️ this morning we then went out to sit in the  garden but it was too hot. For dinner tonight we are having a beef Wellington with runner beans, carrots and new potatoes. Last fight we had ribs.

Wednesday

 I was coughing for most of the night so I didn’t get much sleep. Today was my day for meeting my sister in law in the City for lunch. We lunched at Harriet’s again and decided to have the ‘ soup of the day ‘ I thought it might help my sore throat. After we had waited  for over half an hour my sister in law stopped a passing waitress and asked if there was any trouble with the soup, she said no it will be along in about 2 minutes. Five minutes later it arrived. Sister in law had a spoonful and said it was almost cold, so I had a spoonful of mine and it was HOT . I couldn’t even touch the outside of the soup bowl. Sa we called the waitress again and she said she would get another one. Another wait by which time mine was just the right temperature. We were half way through it when the waitress cane and said we did not have to pay for our soup. So we just paid for our drinks. I walked over 3 miles round the City . I have done a lot of talking today and now I cannot stop coughing. 

Friday

 Today our daughter took out today , we went to Mannington Estate. We walked round the gardens and the lake and went to see the Church ruins. We had coffee and cake on the lawn and walked round a field on a boardwalk, the field was full of butterflies and dragon flys. It was hot but nice and cool in the woods.  It is a nice place. For dinner tonight we had haddock and chips and peas. 

Wednesday

 I have had a bad back for ages, it was on the left. Yesterday I went for a walk and I only did just over half a mile and when I came back I didn’t feel my back at all. I had a good nights sleep but when I got up my back was agony but it is on the right side bow! How weird is that. I did another short walk this afternoon but it didn’t help this time. It’s been hot today so H and I sat in the garden. For dinner tonight we had salmon with a jacket potato and baked beans.

Sunday

 Today our daughter was going to take me to the coast ( my favourite place). So I got up and had my breakfast. I did a load of washing and watered the garden. The forecast was rain but I still watered because they keep saying it’s going to rain but we never get any.But today we had some. We left my house in the pouring rain and drove through floods, but when we got to the beach it had stopped. It was a “girls day out” my daughter, youngest granddaughter, my great grand daughter and me. We had chips and then went to the beach, we all had a paddle, the sea wasn’t as cold as it looked.  After we had been there for a while it started to rain so we packed up and went to the amusements. When it stopped raining we went back to the beach. When it was time to go we had candy floss and a drink. So I had a lovely day. For dinner tonight we had Beef Bourguignon with roast potatoes and mushrooms.

Saturday

 As soon as I got up I went outside and watered the garden. When I had finished I went in and made a pot of tea.we had our breakfast and H got my bike out for me before he went up to turbo. I went out on my bike, first I rode down to the surgery and posted our prescriptions through the door. Then I went for a short ride on the track . It was busy, there were cyclists, dog walkers and ramblers. I did 14 miles and my back didn’t hurt once. As soon as I got off my bike my back hurt again. This afternoon we sat and watched the first stage of the Tour de France and then we had our baths and I got dinner. We had green beans, broccoli, carrots and new potatoes with cod fillets,,
