He oiled the chains and we got ready to go we just had a short ride because we did 30 miles yesterday but i really wanted to go because tomorrow I am having my second eye operation and I wont be able to ride again for over a week. Whe we got home we quickly changed and went to Lydl. when we got home we had lunch and H treated us to a gin and tonic. I had a bath and washed my hair. I made a pot of tea and cooked dinner.

Monday (bank holiday)

I got soon after 6, made a pot of tea and had eggs for breakfast. As I got them out of the fridge I dropped one aon the floor but used what was left in the shell anyway which was really just the yolk and that was broken. I should have known that was just a hint to what was still to come. We had a coffee and i took some steaks out of the freezer for dinner tonight. When son got up I emptied the dishwasher and he had his breakfast. We then all got ready to go out on our mountain bikes.We rode to Aylsham along the track,we were almost to Aylsham when Son was stung on his neck by either a bee or a wasp. We had a coffee in a very nice new cafe and began our ride home. we tried a new off road track and hadnt gone far when I fell off! The track was just loose sand and my bike just slid away from me. I have a bruised ankle and a sore knee. When we got home I sorted lunches and our other son arrived so we all sat and chatted for a couple of hours.When he left I prepared the veg for dinner, son had a shower and I made a pot of tea. Son began packing his things and I finished dinner. steak with chestnut mushrooms, runner beans, cauliflower, kale, and broccoli. Next I had my bath and son left.His neck is looking painful. H also has 2 large bites or stings on his arm and he had long sleeves on! We did 29 miles.

Thursday. Rain at last, but not enough. ⛈🌧

I got up at 6.30 and H was just making the tea. When I went to bed last night there was masses of lightening so I thought it would be wet this morning but when I opened my curtains is was still dry. However the rain started at 7.15 and went on for an hour. It rained or drizzled on and off all day after that. As we couldnt go out on our bikes I did a bit of clearing up. I vacumed all upstairs and did a bit of dusting, cleaned the stairs and we had lunch. It was La Vuelta after that and then Tipping point. After our showers I cooked dinner, braised liver and onions with runner beans, carrots, new potatoes and gravy.Ice cream for pudding.

When he got home we had a coffee and I hung out the washing. We then both went outside and cut some more off the back hedge. H sawed through some huge bits that I couldnt manage. We popped to the local shop for a few things to keep us going till Friday when we go to Asda. When we got home we had a couple of slices of pizza, a bag of crisps and a lolly.
