Friday 6 th

Shopping this morning £73.90 this week.came back, unpacked etc. had a coffee and then got ready to go out on our bikes. We used our mountain bikes but went to Aylsham along the road and then went onto Marriotts way to come home. It was a nice ride but I think I have done something to my knee because it's quite painful at the moment. When we came back I made soup with an onion,a parsnip, a leek,a potato, some tomatoes, a couple of veggie cubes and some water. It was nice. We had duck with noodles for dinner and that was nice too.H had a glass of wine but I had water. We saw 2 buzzards when we were out and a huge dead deer on the side of the road.

Thursday

I have not done much today apart from normal housework etc. I did spend a bit of time in the front garden clearing up. The front of our house only has a small space and most of it is lawn and drive. We use the lawn to park visitors cars on, so we have a plastic membrane under the grass which works well and keeps the lawn looking good. We had an " all day breakfast " for dinner this evening, sausage,egg,mushrooms,tomatoes,chips and bread and butter. Nice.

4 th March

I was up before 5.45 again, put on a load of washing and had a bowl of porridge for my breakfast. We then sat and watched a film that H had recorded last night. He then got ready to go out on his bike. When he left I hung out the washing, washed up and then went outside and potted about in the garden till I got too cold. I came in and sat and read a book till H came home. We then had lunch and watched a cycle race. I made a fish pie for dinner which was nice, we had it with cauliflower and sprouts. No 2 Grandaughter didn't go to school today because she was sick. There must be a bug going around because she very rarely has a day off. I am now going to relax and watch my soaps. I had a text from no 2 son last night to say he was home safely from Spain and that he will ring tonight.

Tuesday cycling

I was up at 5.40 and put on a load of washing. I made a bowl of porridge for my breakfast,spot of tea and H came down. We put the dishwasher on and I swept and washed the kitchen floor. Our daughter then sent a message saying she was on her way so we went up and got into our cycle gear. We set off at a great pace and all went well for the first 11.7 miles but daughter got a puncture so we had to stop, take out her rear wheel and put in a new tube. It was hard to pump up with a small pump and we all got quite cold. We had warmed up again after around 6 miles and ended up with 33.8 miles  ( daughter did more because she cycled to and from hers as well ) when we came back we checked our phones which had tracked our rides only to find that when we stopped for the puncture something went wrong with mine and I only had the first 11 miles!!! I am most annoyed. We had a shower and cheese sandwiches for lunch. I then read till it was time to cook dinner, quiche, mushrooms, baked beans and potato wedges. 

Workday

I was up at 5.40 and after putting on a load of washing I had my breakfast, packed my lunch and hung out the washing. I was rushing back down the path and I tripped and fell over!!! I fell into a large fern which is razor sharp and it cut both my hands and sliced both my wrists, blood everywhere I only had time to quickly rinse them under the tap and stick plasters everywhere and rush to work. I had to trim leeks till 12.30 and after lunch we washed and packed them. After that there was not much else for me to do so I had to wash the greenhouse windows. It's a horrible job,the glass is so high so the water all ran down my arms and by the time I left off I was wet up to my armpits.  The Boss said he won't need me any more till next Monday, he is on holiday next week and said I will only be doing 1 day that week too. I was glad to get home and get my wet clothes off. We had chicken curry for dinner and our daughter rang to say she will come cycling with us tomorrow. It was nice in the sun but the wind was so strong it was freezing in the middle of the field.

March 1 St

Today has been better for me than yesterday,thank goodness,I was so bored. This morning H went out on a training ride with his cycle club, the first of the season. When he left I put on a loaf of bread and spent a couple of hours in the garden. I saw my first ladybird of the season. I had an email from New Zealand today,it was nice to hear all their news. They are having a very hot summer so far so I hope we follow suit. H had  a good ride. No2 son is still in Spain climbing and sent me a photo of a lizard he spotted on his climb today which I will put on the end of this blog ( it's more interesting than my ladybird) ! They also saw several wild boar running in the valley below them. We had a fried egg sandwich for lunch and pork roast for dinner tonight. I have tried not to eat so much today, I ate far too much yesterday and now I feel all bloated. Thank goodness I am going to work tomorrow and I can only eat what I take with me,there are no shops or hot chocolate machines in the middle of the field.

Yesterday

My life was so mundane yesterday I couldn't even be bothered to blog about it!!!!
