I got up at 7 o’clock, after a good nights sleep. I put on a load of washing and when it was done I hung it out. I had my breakfast and then ran the vacuum cleaner over the dining room and lounge and took some mince out of the freezer to make a cottage pie for dinner tonight. We got ready to go out on our bikes. We went to Hayden for coffee and cake. We each had an iced coffee. H and I had a cheese scone with butter and our son had a piece of gluten free cake. We did 24.16 miles. When we got home I got the washing in, all dry. The other 2 were sitting in the sun so I joined them. When son went to work on his van I went in to make the cottage pie. We had it with broccoli, carrots and peas. Dessert was English strawberries and cream.

Saturday.
Yesterday it rained here all day, it started at 8.15 in the morning and was still raining at 10 o’clock at night when our son came home from climbing. So I couldn’t go out on my bike and I couldn’t garden. So I had to do housework instead. For dinner we had duck breasts. Today was much better so we went out on our bikes. We had a nice ride,on and off road. We had coffee and cake at Reepham station. For dinner tonight we had pizza and chips. Son had a gluten free one and H and I had half of a normal one each with chips. We all had raspberries, cream and ice cream for dessert. Yesterday we had strawberries 🍓 instead of raspberries.

Today’s dinner was delicious we had a burger, 2 sausages, a jacket potato an egg, halloumi, broccoli cauliflower carrots and peas. I am totally stuffed!

Tuesday
I got up at 7 o’clock after a good night ‘s sleep and the sun was shining for the second day in a row. When son got up he said he was going to work on his van today. I put on a load of washing when I got up and when it was done I hung it out. I worked in the garden this afternoon and have started cutting round the bricks round the lawn. It always takes me a long time to finish it but it’s worth it because it makes the whole garden look tidy. For dinner tonight we had salmon with potatoes carrots broccoli asparagus and mushrooms. Dessert was strawberries. As soon as our son had had his dinner he got ready to go climbing.

I got up at 6.40 and put on a load of washing. I then had my breakfast 🍳 eggs. When the washing was done I hung it out, it was really windy so I put an extra peg in everything. I emptied the dishwasher and put everything away. Our youngest son is home for the weekend, so today we went for a walk round the lake at Blickling Hall. It was a nice walk but very windy and quite cold. The car park was full and so was the cafe when we went for a coffee. We got our drinks from a mobile stall and took it back to the car. For dinner tonight we had duck legs with cauliflower carrots broccoli peas and potatoes. For dessert we had blackberries and blueberries with ice cream and cream.
