Tuesday

 Today we went to Lidl when we had finished we went for a walk. We walked to a cafe and had a coffee. I had a bad knee. It hurt just below my kneecap. That was my left leg, my right leg gave way twice so we only did a short I. It was freezing cold but the sun was out so we had planned to go further.  H was walking much better I’m pleased to say. For lunch we had cheese and biscuits with ham and tomatoes. For dinner we are having rice with beef in a black bean sauce.

Monday

 Yesterday I forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer so we had to have pizza and salad for dinner. Our daughter her husband and youngest daughter came round in the morning for coffee, it was nice to see them and have a chat, but I then didn’t have my Sunday ride so I had to ride today. I didn’t mind , i would rather  see my family than ride. While they were  here it began to snow. I had a good sleep last night and I hadn’t done anything yesterday so I didn’t expect it. Today for dinner we had chicken and cauliflower, carrots, beans and poi.

Saturday

 Today when I got up the sun was shining and today we haven’t had a drop of rain, the first dry day for weeks. It was cold but it was nice to have a sunny day. I went for a walk and everyone I met spoke to me. That’s what a bit of sunshine does. I did 2.13 miles. I sat on a bench and watched 5 squirrels chasing each  other ,they were having a lovely time. When I got home I sorted our lunch and this afternoon we opened a bottle of fizz because it’s Valentine’s Day. For dinner we had ribs with potatoes, broccoli,green beans and mushrooms. For dessert we had tiramisu.

Today i went to the City to meet my sister in law. Her daughter was with her, we went for a coffee and a chat then her daughter left to do her own thing and we walked to my bank and after that we went to Jarrolds and looked around there till it was time for our lunch. We went to Harriet’s again and it was nice. We had booked a table and it’s a good job because it was really full. We had sandwiches for a change and they were really nice, coronation chicken, brown bread, crisps and salad. After lunch we went home. I walked 2.1 miles.

We had a roast, it should have been Sunday’s dinner but when I looked at the meat the ( Best before) date was running out. So we had lamb with roast potatoes and parsnips, and carrots, broccoli and green beans. Sunday the sun came out so son and i went out on our bikes.

 Last night our son came home for 3 days so today we all went for a walk after lunch.  We went to the shooting school in the car and then walked up the hill in the woods, it was raining the whole time but it wasn’t cold and we all enjoyed it. When we got home it was time for me to do dinner. We     had steak with mushrooms, broccoli and carrots. When we finished dinner our son got ready and went to the climbing centre, when he comes back ( around 10 pm. ) he and I will have a game of cribbage.

Wednesday

 Yesterday I went out for a walk and the temperature was zero. It was blowing a gale and it felt really cold. I think I had walked nearly a mile when I realised i hadn’t started my watch to measure it. I was disappointed in myself. So I don’t know how far i walked  but I do know that when I got home my hands were frozen. We had a cup of soup which I wrapped my hands around and they started soon warmed up. We had salmon for dinner with a jacket potato and beans. Blueberry’s for dessert.
