Saturday

We got up at 6 I put on a load of washing, made a pot of tea and we both had toast for breakfast. As soon as we had finished we got ready to go shopping. We went to Asda and the petrol station was open and there was no queue! Also there was no limit on the amount we were allowed so H filled the tank. It was our first petrol for a month! I did my shopping and next we went to M&S food where i bought a nice pizza for dinner tonight, 2 fish pies, a chicken pie 2 cod mornay, biscuits, cheese straws, and some butter shortbtead christmas trees. When we got home I unpacked and put everything away while H made the coffee. I emptied the dish washer and hung the washing out, I hung yesterdays out as well because it wasnt quite dry. After that we got ready to go out on our bikes. We only did 24 miles and it was pretty slow.However it was a lovely day, the sun was shining and there wasnt a breath of wind. I saw a buzzard, there were so many squirrels I lost count. We had so many stops I lost count of them as well, H kept stopping to look at his watch at his heart rate so we were out around 3 hours! Tomorrow after our third covid jabs I am going out for a ride on my own if I feel ok. We had a coffee and cheese straws for lunch, a glass of wine and watched a cycle race in Italy. For dinner we had pizza with salad and ice cream for pud.

Friday

It was work again today so I got up at 5.45, put on a load of washing, made a pot of tea, cooked my eggs and had my breakfast. I packed my cheese and tomato with my bottle of water and read my book till it was time to go. I had to pick 12 bunches of golden beetroot and then enough loose carrots for 127 kilos. We took everything to the yard, washed and packed it. I had to pick the tomatoes next and Andy came to help me because we had to go back up the field to lift the fleece off the sweads. When we got back to the yard the boss said we had done well this week and I could go home (12.27) H was suprised to see me. He made me a coffee and I had a banana and a slice of my yummy flap jack. I went outside and began to fill my garden bin again after it was emptied this morning. I went in at 3.45 so I could make a pot of tea before tipping point. We had our baths, I washed my hair and cooked dinner lamb chops with carrots, potatoes and cauliflower cheese. H is feeling better today, yesterday at one point his heartrate was 32 beats per minute.

Wednesday work.

I got up at 5.30 and made a pot of tea, fried my eggs and had my breakfast. Next I washed and dressed, packed my things for break and relaxed with my book till it was time to leavefor work. It was a horrible morning cold wet and muddy. The field is so soggy and made walking very hard work. We had to pick 50 bunches of beetroot, 120 bunches of carrots and then leeks. The leeks were the hardest, we both kept getting our feet stuck and i came home feeling exhusted! H made me a coffee and I had a banana. I took a quiche out of the freezer for dinner tonight, made a pot of tea and relaxed till tipping point. After we had watched it we had our baths and then dinner, quiche and potato wedges, mellon for pud.

Tuesday, a visit to the City.

I got up at 6.15 so that was a nice lay in. H came down a few minuits later. I put on a load of washing, made a pot of tea and had my breakfast. We had a coffee and H wrote me out a cheque for the housekeeping money for the next 5 weeks plus last week which he owed me. Also the money he borrowed and as it was raining and we wouldnt be going out on our bikes I thought I would pop to the City and put it in the bank. As we still havent got any petrol for the last 3 weeks and have less than half a tank I decided to go on the bus. I walked to the bus stop having no idea what time a bus would arrive and one turned up straight away. I went to the bank first and it was almoat empty so I was straight in and out. Next I went to W H Smith for a couple of packs of playing cards. I couldnt find any but found a man stacking shelves so asked him. He said they were upstairs and to the right. I followed his instructions but couldnt find any or anyone to ask! There were no staff upstairs at all and when I went back down the shelf filler man was nowhere in sight. Next I went to NEXT for something nice for a baby but there was nothing I liked in the right size. It was either too small (for babies up to 5lbs 7ozs or really nice spider man T shirts the smallest of which was 3 years). So I got nothing there either. After that was Holland and Barrett for cod liver oil tablets and vitermin D sprays. Then I got a bus home. It was packed with standing room only. When I got home I had a coffee, made son a salad and H and me a chicken and mayo sandwich. I got the washing in and read a bit of my book . we watched tipping point had our baths and I cooked dinner. We had jacket potatoes with a mince and onion filling with carrot, and peas and a corn on the cob on the side. Son then got ready to go home.

Monday

I got up at 5.40 and H was up and had already made a pot of tea so he poured me a cup. I had eggs for breakfast, packed my snack for work and read my book for half an hour before washing and dressing ready for work. I wont bore you with all the details but I harvested leeks, carrots, purple carrots,beetroot, sweetcorn and turnips. It was non stop all morning. H made me a coffee when I got home and I had a date scone and a banana. I made son a salad and then made a beef stew for dinner. We finished off the bottle of wine that was poened and at 3 I made a pot of tea. We watched tipping point, had our baths and then dinner. After dinner son gott ready and went to the climbing center.

I got up just before 6, put on a load of washing, made a pot of tea and had my breakfast. I had a slice of toast with butter and marmite for a change. I hung the washing out when it was done and sat and read my book till son got up. We had a coffee and H got our bikes out of the garage. I emptied the dishwasher and put everything away and we all got ready to go out on our bikes. We went to Hayden for cake and drinks. I had a hot chocolare with whipped cream and marshmallows, it was so yummy. We did over 30 miles so thats quite a good start to October. I got son a salad for his lunch, H and I had a coffee and a date scone. Son went to do a bit of work on his van, I put the bikes away and put the chicken in the oven. We had a glass of wine and , later, a cup of tea. My washing is all nice and dry again. Tomorrow I have to go to work.
