Sunday

I got up just before 6 and put on a load of washing. I made a pot of tea and had my breakfast. The minuite the washing was done I hung it out to see if I could get it dry before the rain started again. It was out for just over an hour and it began to drizzle so I got it in again. It had had a good blow and smells lovely of fresh air but its not dry. We had a coffee and at 9.40 I got ready to have a ride on zwift. I just rode while the Archers omnibus was on. I felt better than I did yesterday but I still found it hard work. I think I might have a cold coming because I have a bit of a sore throat and I have been sneezing. when I finished we had soup for lunch and a scone with jam and cream. Later we had a small glass of red wine. We watched cycling and when it was over I had a shower and cooked dinner. We had duck with roast onions, garlic and mushrooms. And also potatoes, carrots and cauliflower. Tomorrow I have to go to work.

Saturday.

I got up at 6.14 and H was up, had made the tea and finished his breakfast. I had a cup of tea and as soon as it was drunk H made me a coffee. He was riding on Zwift this morning so I waited till he went up and then I put yesterdays washing into the tumble drier. (its raining again) I cooked my egg and courgette breakfast and when I had done I emptied the dishwasher and put everything away. I made the bed, cleaned my teeth and dressed. When the washing was dry I folded it all and put that away as well. I sat and read my book till H finished his ride and i heard him running the shower then I made us a coffee and a cheese and ham roll for lunch. I decided I had better have a ride upstairs because I dont think the weather is going to be nice enough to ride out tomorrow. I went up at around 2.30 and and rode till nearly 4. It was horrible! I found it really hard I had no energy! When I finished I ran myself a bath and had a soak. When I came down tipping point was on. When it was over I cooked dinner. We had ham, eggs and chips with sausages and a corn on the cob from work. We had stewed apple and cream for dessert.

Friday

I got up at 6 oclock after the worst nights sleep ever! I think i had about an hour. I put on a load of washing and had toast for breakfast ( because I had run out of eggs!) As soon as we had finished we got ready and went to asda for our weekly shop. Our daughter was having such a busy week we said we would do our own shop.Whhen we got home Iunpacked and put everything away while H made us a coffee. We had it with a cream do nut! I sat and read my magazine and when I had done we heard the bin men so I went out to get them in.Then the second bin men came and I got those as well, I got soaked in minuits! We had another coffee and I vacumed downstairs and got all my ironing up to date. Next I got lunch, we had a baguette filled with ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, mustard and mayo washed down with a bottle of beer. I read a chapter of my book and then I took the cleaner upstairs and cleaned up there. H took our fire apart and cleaned it all out ready for when we need to start using it again. We were pleased we put our garden furniture away yesterday, it would have taken ages to dry out after today.I made a pot of tea and we watched countdown. we had our baths and I washed my hair. When I came back down I cooked dinner. we had a yummy asda pizza with a salad. Yogurt for dessert. I hope i get to sleep tonight.

Thursday.

I got up at 5.40 and put on a load of washing. I had my breakfast, packed my lunch, dressed, made the bed and got ready to go to work. I couldnt hang the washing out before I left because it was raining. When I got to work I had to put all my wet weather gear on but it wasnt as bad as yesterday because it was cooler. I had to go with Andy and we had to pick 168 bunches of carrots, 24 golden beetroot, 24 purple carrot bunches and 20 beetroot. By the time all that was done it was 10.15 so we had our break. Next Ihad to pick 12 punnets of tomatoes, 22 bunches of spring onions and the rest of the morning was spent trimming leeks. When I got home H made me a coffee and he had hung the washing out for me. He had also stood all our deckchairs and sunbeds in the sun to dry so this afternoon I put them all away in the garage for the winter. All my washing got dry, yesterdays and todays. We had a cup of tea, watched tipping point, had a bath and cooked dinner. It was pork chops with potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots and a few beans from our garden. I dont have to work tomorrow so we are going shopping because our daughter was so busy this week working etc. so we said we would get our own this week. Next Friday I have to work because Andrew is on holiday.

Wednesday.

I got up at 5 10 and put on a load of washing. I made a pot of tea and had my breakfast. I packed my lunch and relaxed till it was time to get ready for work. I was going to hang the washing out but it began to rain. It was quite unplesant at work, wet and muddy, we had to wear all our plastic gear and it was so hot. I had to go with Andy and we trimmed 4 boxes of turnips, and then leeks till coffee break. After that I had to do 60 bunches of beetroot and finish off the bed of purple carrots. Andy came to pick me and the carrots up and when I said to him, where to next ? he said home! It was almost one oclock! I thought it was around 11.30! the morning had flown past. When I got home H made me a coffee and i had a couple of biscuits. I did a bit of gardening and pruned a huge bush. H called me in when it was time for tipping point, I made a pot of tea, We had our baths and then dinner, chicken curry. I have to work again tomorrow.

Tuesday.

I got up just after 7 am and put on a load of washing. Next Imade a pot of tea and my breakfast, egg and courgette. The first egg I took out of the fridge I dropped! I think its the first egg I have ever dropped and I cant believe how much mess it made. After breakfast I hung out the washing and H got the bikes out ready for us to go for a ride then he put on a loaf of bread. we had a small coffee and got ready to go out. It was a nice ride, we followed the signs to Postwick that is for horses, pedestrions and cyclists. From home to there and back was 30 miles.We didnt hurry because we were looking around etc. So it took us almost 3 hours. When we got home we had a milkshake and cheese and biscuits and later we had a wine. I sat in the garden in the sun for an hour to make the most of the sun because it might not be out tomorrow. we watched tipping point, had a bath and then dinner. Fish, chips, peas and grilled tomatoes. We had yogurt for pudding. Tomorrow I have to work.

Monday

I got up at 5.13 and put on a load of washing. I had my breakfast and packed my lunch. I dressed and hung out the washing. Then I sat and relaxed till it was time to go to work. I was going to pop a birthday card through our daughter in laws letter box on the way but as I turned into their road she came walking towards me, out walking her dog. when I got to work the boss had written me a list. It said 72 bunches of carrots, 4 boxes of leeks and 6 bunches of purple carrots. I trimmed 4 boxes of leeks first, then the carrots and Andy came to pick them up. The purple carrots had gone up to 18 bunches. I had to do 28 bunches of spring onions while Andy was picking sweet corn and Then we had to pick 10 boxes of curly kale and a box of black kale. we did 37 cauliflowers and 28 lettuce. we went to the yard and I packed leeks till it was my hometime. When I got home H made me a coffee, I had a bun with it and a banana and H went out back and mowed the lawn. I sat and read my book, got the washing in and made a pot of tea. we watched tipping point and i had a bath. FOR dinner we had chicken again, third time in a row. It was very tasty, fried onion and mushrooms mixed in a white cheese sauce and pasta. Work again on Wednesday.
