A beautiful day.

We both got up at 6.40, I put on a load of washing and we had our breakfast. We had a coffee and I hung the washing out. I read a chapter of my book and at 8.45 we got ready to go out on our bikes. The weather was lovely. We did 32miles and there were loads of people taking advantage of the track. I have done 102.2 miles this week so I am happy. It’s the most I have done in a week for ages. W e tried quite hard this morning and we were both sweating when we got home. We had a shower and a pint of shandy. Then for lunch we had a bacon sandwich with mustard and a cup of coffee. We watched the tour of Turkey this afternoon, I got the washing in all nice and dry yet again. For dinner we had a steak and onion pie with potatoes, carrots and cauliflower. It’s work for me tomorrow so roll on Tuesday.!!

Saturday. o

H woke me up at 6. 30, I put on a load of washing and had my breakfast. I dressed as soon as I had finished and we went shopping. When we got back H made us a coffee and then went up to ride 75k on his turbo. I put on a second load of washing, made a loaf of bread, unpacked all the groceries, put them away and hung out the washing. After that I went to my butchers in the car and on the way back I went to the chicken farm for eggs. When I came back H was downstairs, I was surprised because he should have still been riding but he said his computer crashed so he couldn’t carry on. We had a Stilton topped pork pie for lunch with a coffee and watched a cycle race from Turkey.  I washed my hair and got the washing in, nice and dry again. I have been knitting all afternoon and for dinner tonight we had belly pork with peas and a huge chunk of cheese and garlic bread instead of potatoes, it was nice.

Friday.

I got up at 6, put on a load of washing and had my breakfast. I hung the washing out and we had a coffee. H got our bikes out of the garage, oiled our chains ready for us to go for a ride. We left home just  after 9.30 and took the scenic route to visit H’s brother. We had a cup of tea and a biscuit and stayed for around an hour and cycled along the cycle track back home. It was very windy and we were battered about on the way there on the road but we were sheltered on the track on the ride back. H has a sore knee so our ride wa s pretty slow. We had a pot noodle for lunch, watched a cycle race then had a shower. My washing all got nice and dry in the strong wind. I have started some more knitting. For dinner tonight we had pork chops, fried onions and leeks and potatoes. Now I am going to have an apple because I haven’t eaten much today, I have lost a pound this week, I know it’s not much but I am so pleased because I have been stuck on the same weight for ages.

Lazy Thursday.

I got up at 6 and put on a load of washing then I just sat and read my book till H came down. We had our breakfast and I hung out the washing. We had a proper coffee and I read more book. H went up and rode a race on his turbo while I topped up my garden rubbish bin ready for the bin men tomorrow. When he finished we had an instant coffee and as I was feeling lazy I just sat about for a while. We had cheese and biscuits for lunch with a cup of soup. I took my blood pressure and it’s really high today for some reason, it’s been pretty good until now. This afternoon we watched a cycle race, I had a shower and for dinner we had fish pie with peas and cauliflower. I hope I feel a bit more lively tomorrow because I want too go out on my bike.

Wednesday.

I was up at 5.30, put on a load of washing and had my breakfast. I had made my salad yesterday so I just had to add some cheese. I dressed, made the bed, hung out the washing and went to work. First of all we planted 6 trays of cabbages, it's our last planting for this year. It didn't take long and it was 150 dozen cabbages. After that I had to do 96 bunches of carrots and 16 purple ones. Then I went weeding, first I wed an onion bed but Andy came to take me to the yard where I had to lay out all the carrots so Andy could wash them and I packed them into boxes ready for our customers. We had our lunch and went back up the field to trim and box 5 boxes of turnips. After that I went back to the weeding, finishing the onions and starting on the leeks which are full of nettles. When I got home I had a cup of tea and a nice soak in the bath. For dinner tonight we had chicken in breadcrumbs with potatoes , cauliflower and beans. I don't have to work till Monday so it's a nice break.

Tuesday.

I was up at 6.40 this morning and not enough washing for a load. We had our breakfast and then a coffee. H asked what time I wanted to go out on my bike and I said about 10.30, he said ok. I went up, made the bed and thought I would read a couple of chapters of my book. I sat there reading my book when H came through dressed in all his cycle gear, even had his helmet on!! I checked my watch and it was only 9.30!! Anyway I quickly got ready and off we went. We had a lovely ride, 21 miles on the road and 18.9 along the track. I burnt over 1,000 calories so when we arrived back home we had a bacon sandwich and a glass of shandy. We had a shower and watched tv. For dinner tonight we had a quiche with potato fritters and mushrooms. I am working again tomorrow.

Monday.

I got up at5.40, put on a load of washing and had my breakfast. I packed a salad for my lunch, made the bed, dressed, hung out the washing and went to work. I had to pick 24 bunches of beetroot and then trim leeks till 2pm. I did 14 boxes. Then Andy came up with the trailer and we went to the squashes and harvested 15 boxes. We had to clean them all before we boxed them up. At 3.30 we washed and packed the leeks and I came home. I have tomorrow off and I am back on Wednesday. For dinner we had eggs, chips and peas. I love my home made chips.
