Monday

 Today I went out for a bike ride it was pretty cold. I went with my son,it was a nice ride and we saw buzzards a deer a load of long tailed tits squirrels and some wild flowers out. It was hard work but when you get home again you feel really pleased with yourself. I must admit I didn’t think I could be doing this at 87. Yesterday we went for a walk in the wood’s, we walked 2.6 miles. For dinner we had beef with carrots, potatoes, sprouts, leek and broccoli. Tomorrow I think we are going for another walk.

 Today I have been very busy but I have had a good day. I went to our daughters and son in law’ s with her youngest brother to deliver Christmas presents. Her eldest brother also went round so I had all my children together which doesn’t happen often, it was nice. She had invited us over for nibble’s , two of her children were there as well. We had some drinks and a great time. A lot of laughs. I came home loaded up with present's. It’s a shame that H didn’t come but he wasn’t feeling well. When I got home he was feeling better . As soon as I had washed my hands I got on with making the stuffing, I made a gluten free, sage and onion stuffing. I hope it tastes as good as it smells. I unwrapped the turkey and put it in the tin ready for tomorrow. Then I prepared the vegetables for dinner tonight which we had with venison, it was delicious. Six minutes in a pre heated air fryer.

 I got up this morning and felt much better when I had had a cup of tea and some yogurt. And tonight I am back to normal thank goodness. I don’t know what it was , my sister in law thought my blood pressure would be low and said when I get home to take it , but I felt too bad to do it, i took it this morning though and it was normal. We had beef in black bean sauce and rice for dinner with tiramisu for dessert.

Tuesday

 Today was my day in the City with my sister in law. So after my usual breakfast I dressed and caught a bus at 9.30 to the City. First I went to the Bank to put a check in for the house keeping money. Then I walked up to M&S to meet my Sister in law, we went upstairs in Marks for a coffee and a chat. When I got up from the table I had a dizzyness pass over me. I didn’t say anything because I just thought I had stood up too quickly. We walked down past the market and I went into Hotter and bought a pair of boots. Then we went into Jarrolds. My friend got what she wanted and we came out because it was time for our lunch. As we came out of Jarrolds I felt really dizzy so I sat on a seat in the fresh air while my S i l had a look round White Stuff and then we went into Harriet’s for lunch. When I sat down I felt awful I ordered an orange juice and we ordered our lunch. I couldn’t eat anything and when we came out a couldn’t walk. My S I L had rung her husband ( my brother ) and arranged for him to come to the top of London and pick us up. The manager of the restaurant walked with us because he could see how bad I was. I was walking like someone drunk and if my S I L hadn’t got me by the arm I would have fallen down. They brought me home and when I got indoors I was sick. I went straight to bed. After 2 hours I felt better so i went down and had 3 cheesey biscuits and some water. Now I feel fine. I walked 2 and a quarter miles.

 Today has been a busy day. This morning we walked to the chemist, and this afternoon I put the Christmas tree up and decorated it. The lights took an hour to untangle but they work which is the main thing. For dinner tonight we had a jacket potato with mince and beans  and for pudding we had baked apples with custard.
