Wednesday

 Today I went to the City where I met my sister in law. First we went for a coffee, we sat for ages catching up with all the news and then we started shopping. I bought some Christmas presents. We went into “ 

“  the lanes” and found some lovely shops with different things. It was time for lunch, we went to Harriet’s where we had booked a table, the soup of the day was tomato and red peppers,so we decided to have that. It was delicious , you get 2 huge chunks of bread with it and butter and it was lovely. I walked 3. 35 miles so I got some exercise in. For dinner tonight we had salmon with a jacket potato and garlic bread. 

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. 

Sunday

 I had a good nights sleep last night So after a breakfast of yogurt and then scrambled eggs, i decided to turbo. I waited until it was time for the Archers omnibus and listened to it while I was riding. I did an hour and in that time I rode 18.22 miles. It was a flat course but I was pleased with it. When I finished I had lunch which was half an avocado, a tomato and a piece of cheese. For dinner tonight we had pork steaks with potatoes, broccoli, cabbage and carrots. Fruit for pudding.

Wednesday

 I had another night without enough sleep. It’s too warm at night. In October I was sleeping well because it had gotten cooler a. Still it’s supposed to get cooler as the week goes on. I had my breakfast and emptied the dishwasher. I went out and pout the rubbish in the bin and got wet because it was pouring with rain. I should have waited because half an hour later the sun was out. I got ready and rode son the turbo for 40 minutes. When I finished H made us a coffee. We had cheese and biscuits with pickle for lunch and for dinner we had chicken soup and then pizza. 

Tuesday

 Today was our great grandson’s 4 th birthday so I went round to see him. He is a lovely little boy. His mother had made him a gorgeous cake. He had told her he wanted a chocolate and strawberry one. So that’s what she made him. He loved it. H was on the turbo while I was out. It’s my turn tomorrow. For lunch we had pilchards and for dinner we had ribs with potatoes, cabbage and cauliflower. Fresh fruit for dessert. 

Sunday

 Today H took our prescriptions down to the doctors for me on his E bike, while I got ready to turbo. I did an hour and ten minutes and managed to do 18. 88 miles. Yesterday and the day before I spent weeding the garden, i didn’t even have to wear a coat. I think it’s a first for November. For dinner I made a chicken curry. I roasted the last of my chestnuts today. 

Wednesday

 Today i did housework all morning and this afternoon I went for a walk. For dinner I did pasta with chorizo and a tin of chopped tomatoes. Apple tart and cream for dessert. The sausage was a very spicy one and it made everything taste hot. Our mouths were on fire but it was nice. 

Sunday

 Today it was raining when I got up,we were going for a bike ride but by ten it had stopped so we decided to go. It was drizzling when we set off but by the time we had gone 3 miles the sun was out and it turned into a nice ride. Yesterday I went for a short walk with our number two son who is here for the weekend. This afternoon he roasted some chestnuts for us. For dinner tonight we had chicken with broccoli, green beans, carrot and potatoes, stewed apple and cream for dessert.
