Sunday.

Yesterday I didn't blog!! We had my brother and sister in law to dinnerand when they left it was my bedtime. We had a nice evening,it was nice to catch up. This morning I put on a load of washing and had my breakfast I hung the washing out, emptied the dishwasher and put on a loaf of bread. At 10.30 we got ready to meet out Daugter and son in law to go for a ride along the track to Reepham station where we had a coffee and a natter before riding back home. The track was pretty muddy after yesterday's rain but we all really enjoyed it. (21 miles for us ) but further for the other two who had to get to ours in the first place. H hosed our bikes down when we got back while I made coffee and sandwiches. We didn't do much this afternoon, H watched tv 📺 while I read a book. For dinner we had some leftover chicken in wine to which I added sausages and more potatoes, it was tasty. Tomorrow I have to work.

After that we went to B & Q for a pot of paint and on the way back we picked my prescription from the chemist. We had a pot noodle for lunch with an instant coffee and I got the washing in, it's all nice and dry. I did a bit of dusting and at 2 pm I went to the dentist for a clean and polish. It was wine o'clock when we got back and after that I had a bath and washed my hair. For dinner tonight we had a chicken lattice pie with roast potatoes and cabbage. We had sherry trifle for pudding.

I had to do 20 bunches of golden beetroot, 30 bunches of purple ones, then 120 bunches of carrots and 23 bunches of purple ones. Then I helped the men pick 2 boxes of loose carrots and 2 boxes of parsnips. The men went down to the yard to wash and pack stuff and I sat in the field and had my lunch. I then went on to the leeks and I had to have 6 boxes, I had 4 when Andy joined me, after they were done we had to harvest 2 boxes of  swedes and 2 boxes of celeriac. We washed everything and it was 4 o'clock so I left the men to pack it all and I came home. I had a cup of tea and a bath then I cooked dinner, pork slices with cauliflower,purple carrots and potatoes. I have tomorrow off so I will be able to get some housework done. H hung the washing out for me and got it all dry.

When I came down I cooked dinner, salmon, potatoes, leek and cauliflower. H poured a glass of wine to go with it. I have now come upstairs to watch my soaps, I hope I can stay awake for them. I have to work again on Wednesday.

The first of October went off with a bang for me !!!!

I got up at 6 and put on a load of washing, it was raining. Then I made a pot of tea and had my breakfast. A little later H made us a coffee and then he went up to ride a race on Zwift. I swept and washed the kitchen floor and then the downstairs toilet. Well in there we had an old water softener, it was all wired in but doesn't work any more so I went up and asked H if I could take it out because it looked messy, he said yes so I came down, found my garden snips and simply cut through the wire. Well there was a terrific bang and a flash with flames and sparks and all our power went off! H had been riding for over an hour and was doing well then he lost it all!!! ( I didn't get shouted at too much! ) It took H ages to sort it all out. I made some bread rolls and we had one with corned beef and a cup of coffee for lunch. I sat and knitted for most of the afternoon and for dinner tonight we had sirloin steaks, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, onions, a fried egg and a roll. It's work for me tomorrow.
