Today I decided to have a ride on the turbo trainer but I only had 3 hours sleep last night so I have been tired all day . So I only did half an hour instead of an hour. I hung out my washing and it was dry when I got it in. H is getting over his pacemaker operation very quickly and is already back on the turbo trainer. For dinner tonight we had stew and dumplings I made enough for four so we will be having it again tomorrow. Yesterday we had pizza and chips and I did baked apple and custard for dessert.
The mundane life of an 84 year old.

Yesterday H had his pacemaker fitted he was home by 10 past 8 . We had to be at the at the hospital at 7.15 in the morning. The operation took longer than expected, it was an hour and a half but it should have been 20 minutes. But it’s in and working so we are happy with that. I was so tired yesterday that I got about 6 hours sleep last night. H is in pain but paracetamol help. Our grand daughter went to the hospital at tea time to pick up her grandads medication but they said our doctor has to give it to him. For dinner tonight we had meat balls and pasta in a tomato sauce.

Today I washed the kitchen floor and vacuumed all downstairs. Then I walked down to the doctors surgery with our prescriptions, it is almost 2 miles so it took me nearly an hour. H was having a dizzy day and couldn’t drive. This is a short blog because we have to get up at 4 o’clock tomorrow because we have a taxi coming to take H to hospital at 6.30 .

I got up at 10 past 6 , H was already up and cooking his porridge. Yesterday we went for a bike ride, it was the longest ride we had this week. Most of it was off road, the track is in really good shape which makes the ride much easier. We did almost 24 miles.This week I have 6 out of the 7 days doing either a walk or a bike ride. Last nights dinner was supposed to be steak but I forgot to take them out of the freezer. So we had salmon instead, the salmon was for Monday’s meal, but Monday will now be steak. It’s a good job my head is screwed on!

Today I finished filling my garden rubbish bin up after breakfast. My eggs stayed whole so I knew it was going to be a good day. Our son took me fossil hunting. It’s one of my favourite things to do. I love the beach and the sea. We found a few fossils but nothing very exciting.we went for a paddle and the water wasn’t as cold as we thought it was going to be. When we got home H had got my washing in and it’s nearly dry, he also cut the back grass. He didn’t want to come with us he doesn’t like the beach. For dinner tonight we had mince with potatoes carrot, broccoli, cauliflower, dessert was blackberry and apple with cream.

Wednesday.
Today we went for a bike ride,we did nearly 23 miles. We went to Hayden for coffee and cake at the cafe
We went by road and track it was a really nice ride. Yesterday son and I went for a walk . .tt That was nice too we walked in the woods. Tonight for dinner we had sausages, bacon, potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and sprouts, stewed apple and cream for dessert. This morning 1 of my 2 eggs broke when I put it in the pan so I knew it was going to be a bad day. I got a fly in both of my eyes while we were out on our bikes not at the same time and a bird dropped a package on my cheek. Which is supposed to be lucky, the only thing that was lucky about it was that I didn’t have my mouth open.

H had to take a call from the hospital this morning so that they could explain his operation to him that he’s having on the 6 th of November. We went for a bike ride, we did farm to fork and to Reepham then, after our coffee at bread sauce, awe came home along the track. 19 and a bit miles. For dinner tonight we had sausages, burgers, bacon, egg, fried onions and broccoli. Dessert was raspberries blueberries and cream again, but still very nice.
