Saturday.

I got up at 7.15 and put on a load of washing. H was already up and had made a pot of tea so he poured me one. He made the coffee next . When the washing was done I couldn’t hang it out because it was pouring with rain for a change. When H went up for a ride on the turbo trainer I had a bowl of porridge . After breakfast I made a beef stew for dinner tonight, I like to make it early because I think I makes the meat more tender. I fed the birds their meal worms and our 2 robins were first on the scene today. When H finished his 2 hour ride I made us a coffee and he had a cheese sandwich with celery and I had a slice of cheese and a stick of celery. After that I went to the chemist for my prescription. When I got back I changed and had a a ride in the pain cave just to make sure I got my exercise done. I had a bath as soon as I had finished and when I went downstairs H had made a pot of tea. I poured us both a cup , he had a hot cross bun with his and I had a ginger biscuit. At 6 15 we had our dinner and the stew is very tasty. I made a huge pan full so it’s stew again tomorrow! When I had eaten mine I went up to watch tv.

Friday.

I got up at 6.10 and had toast and tea for breakfast. As soon as I had done I cleaned my teeth, dressed and we went shopping. When we got home I put everything away and we had a coffee and a cake and I read my magazine. I did a bit of clearing up, made the bed etc and at 11 o’clock I got ready to go to Cawston for the monthly luncheon club. The mushroom soup was delicious. When I left home it began to rain and when I left it was pouring. There was loads of surface water laying about. When I got home I started a new book. I made a pot of tea, we watched tipping point, had our bathes and I cooked dinner.we had quiche with cauliflower, purple sprouting broccoli and cauliflower. Our youngest son is flying to Italy tomorrow for a climbing holiday. I hope he is going to be alright! I also wonder if he will be allowed back!

Thursday.

I got up at 5.30 and made a pot of tea . I toasted my bread and had my breakfast. I packed my lunch and watched tele till 7 o’clock when I dressed, made the bed and got ready to go to work. I had to go with Andy to pick 10 boxes of purple sprouting broccoli and enough turnips for 10, 6 kilo bags. Andy had to leave at 9 to check the answerphone and sort the orders. Andrew was delivering but when he came back he joined me on turnips and Andy came back just in time to help with the last box. We all went to the yard and it was 10 so we had our break. After that we washed and packed the turnips and the bosses wife went off with the next delivery. Andrew and I went to leeks next while Andy wrote all the tickets and joined us later. When we had 8 boxes it was 12.25 so we went back to the yard washed and packed them and it was time for me to go home. When I got home H made me a coffee and we both had a buttered scone. It was so delicious we both had another. I sat about all afternoon because I am worn out. We watched tipping point then I had a bath and washed my hair. It was chicken curry for dinner it was nice. H went back to his Spanish lessons this morning and says he is going once a fortnight, because I was working, he had to cycle round but he was lucky because the rain stopped ten minutes before he had to go.

Wednesday

I got up at 5.50, put on a load of washing and went straight to the kitchen to make a pot of tea and a bowl of porridge. Next I went into the lounge to get my phone 📱 which I left on the coffee table last night and found that the coffee table had exploded overnight and there was glass all over the floor! I couldn’t believe it! It was fine when I went to bed. I left it till H came down before clearing it up and when I shew him his first words were , how did you do that! I was not amused! We had a coffee and I took my nail varnish off and redid my nails. I hung the washing out after I had cleared up all the glass and fed the birds, they were all waiting for me. Today we were going to the theatre to see Blithe Spirit. It was one of our Christmas presents. It was the matinée so we left home at midday so we could have a look round and see if we would get a coffee table. First we went to the bank to transfer some money and next to Jarrolds. We couldn’t find a suitable coffee table there so we walked to John Lewis and had a look round there . We found a very plain light oak one which I think will go with the rest of our furniture and H bought it. We couldn’t take it with us because it wouldn’t fit in the boot so it’s being delivered on Tuesday. On our way out we wandered past the televisions and H bought me a new one for the kitchen! We took it back to the car and then went back to the theatre 🎭. We went up to the cafe for a coffee and then it was time to take our seats. It’s the first time I have been to the theatre and seen every seat full. It was very good and we enjoyed it. When it was over we drove to our daughter and son in law’s for tea. We were greeted at the door with a G&T and 2 happy dogs. We had a lovely meal and a nice catch up with them and our youngest granddaughter. We got back home at 8. 45 and I had a shower  was ready to watch something I wanted to see on tv.

Tuesday

I got up at 5.50 and put on a load of washing and had my breakfast ( porridge and a cup of tea) . When H got up he made me a coffee. When the washing was done I hung it out and scattered some meal worms in the back garden for the birds. I emptied the dishwasher and put everything away. H went up to turbo and I did a bit of clearing up, wrote in my diary and read a bit of my book sitting in the conservatory in the sun, it was a pleasant temperature in there till the sun went in. When H finished he had a shower and I prepared lunch. He had a cheese sandwich with green tomato chutney and I had a salad, we both had a coffee. At 2 o’clock I went up, put my padded shorts on and had a ride. I did 23.2 miles. When I finished I had a bath and when I went down I made a pot of tea. We watched tipping point with a cuppa and when it was over I cooked dinner. We had salmon with a jacket potato, cauliflower and fried leek. H had yogurt for pudding and I had an orange. Now I am ready to watch my soaps. I was lucky with my washing and got it all dry.

Wet windy Monday morning at work.

I got up at 520, made a pot of tea and toasted my bread so I could have my breakfast. I packed my cheese and tomato for lunch plus my litre of water and then just sat and read till 7 when I went upstairs, made the bed dressed and got ready to go to work. It was horrible all day wet and windy. It was so muddy underfoot it was hard work walking 🚶‍♀️. I had to dig up and bunch 48 bunches of carrots. They are not nice, the tops are all brown and loads of the carrots have black marks on! I threw loads away but as they are so muddy you can’t always see it until they are washed. I like to take pride in my work but the boss still keeps taking orders I have to keep bunching them. When they were done the men picked me up and we all went to leeks to get just one box before we went back to the yard to was everything. After it was all done and loaded into the van we had our break. After break I had to walk back to the leeks and trim them till it was time for me to go home. Andy joined me and Andrew also came to trim some after he had delivered the orders. When I got home H made me a coffee and we watched a film he had recorded a few days ago. Then I made a pot of tea and we watched tipping point. I had a bath and cooked dinner. We had burgers with tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs, beans, leeks and chips. I don’t have to work any more till Thursday.

Sunday.

I got up at 6,15, put on a load of washing, made a pot of tea, a bowl of porridge and had my breakfast. When the washing was done I couldn’t hang it out because it was raining. I emptied the dishwasher and put everything away. We had a coffee and H went up to the pain cave for a 2 hour ride. When he finished I made him a coffee and had one myself.  He had a doze so I sat and read for a bit. We had cheese sandwiches for lunch with celery and cucumber. After lunch I went up for a ride. I was very pleased because I managed to do 20.2 miles in the hour. I then did a couple more miles as a warm down and have managed to. Complete my 81 miles in the week again. I think I will struggle next week though because we are off to the theatre one day and I have the lunch club on another plus 2 days at work. When I finished my rise I had a nice soak in the bath and cooked dinner. We had chicken with roast potatoes, purple sprouting broccoli and leeks. I had to eat mine quite quickly because it was time for dancing on ice. I have to go to work tomorrow and it looks as if I am going to get pretty wet and muddy.
