Sunday

 I got up at six o’clock and had my breakfast, when I heard H moving around upstairs I made a pot of tea.  I washed up some sauce pans because they would not fit in the dish washer. I did some cleaning up in the kitchen and then I read some of my book until it was time for me to go on the turbo. I rode for an hour and eighteen minutes and did nearly 22 miles. I had a quick shower when I had finished and got dressed because our daughter was coming round to bring my birthday present. My birthday is on Wednesday so I haven’t opened them but there was a lovely bunch of flowers in the bag , I had to take them out and put them in water. With her was her husband, youngest daughter and her boyfriend. It was lovely to see them all. For dinner we had sausages, chips, peas and garlic bread. We had beef stew yesterday and the day before because I made it big enough for 2days. We had dumplings with it on Friday and yesterday we had garlic croutons ..

 I had a good weekend which lasted till today. Our son left last night so yesterday we all went for a walk in the afternoon. We walked in some woods and it was really muddy,I was glad I was wearing my wellies. I prepared the vegetables for dinner before we went so I could get straight on with the meal when we got home. We had salmon with veggies, ice cream for dessert. Today I went shopping, as I drove to the store in full sunshine,in front of me was a beautiful rainbow. I went in to the store and 2 people came in after me and they were soaked. When I had finished shopping and came out of the shop the sun was shining but everything was wet . It must have been a cloud burst because the puddles were huge!

Monday

 I had 7 hours sleep last night, a record for me. I think it’s because it’s colder. I had my usual breakfast of yogurt and eggs but today I had my eggs fried. It was pouring with rain while I was frying my eggs but the next minute the sun was out. H got ready for a ride on the turbo trainer. I did housework and we had lunch, a cup of coffee and some malt loaf. We he’d several showers but when the sky looked good i went for a walk. I sat on a new seat in the sun watching some squirrels playing and then i looked at the sky and thought i had better go home. I just got inside and the rain started so i was lucky. For dinner tonight we had chilli con carni.
