Sunday

 Another cold windy day with no sun. I had a good nights sleep and when I went downstairs H was eating his porridge. We were going to ride upstairs I went first and rode for an hour H did his after lunch. He did it for an hour and a half I don’t know how he does it. An hour is torcher for me. For dinner tonight we had pork chops with potatoes carrots and  cauliflower . Now I am watching Dancing on ice.

Saturday.

 When I went to bed last night I had a terrible headache it had started about 3 in the afternoon. It was a strange pain over my right ear. I didn’t think I would get any sleep but H found me an aspirin and I got a good nights sleep. I told H that I was going for a drive while he was on the turbo. But he said he wouldn’t be able to concentrate on his ride because he would be waiting for me to ring him after I had crashed. So I told him I wouldn’t go. Then when he went riding I went up to see him and he was riding with the curtains closed. So I went out and started the car , I knew he couldn’t hear it because he is quite hard of hearing, and I knew he couldn’t see the car going down the drive . I went through the estate and on to the N D R round the roundabout took a left down to the traffic lights 🚦 and home through the estate. I went in and H was still riding. I told him what I had done and he was really pleased 😁 he said we should have a drink to celebrate so we had a  G & T. For dinner tonight we had quiche with chips and mushrooms.

Friday

 I got up as 6.30 because we were going to Asda today for a change, we haven’t been there for ages. We like to get there early because their car park fills up so quickly. They have changed things round since we last went so I had a job to find stuff. When we got home the bin men were just emptying our bin. So I got the bin in before I unpacked my shopping. We had a coffee and then I went out to put the bins in order, it was so cold out there. The wind was blowing and it was freezing. For dinner tonight we pizza with a salad we had an orange for dessert. Our daughter rang up this afternoon just to catch up, she always makes me laugh.  

Thursday.

 I got up at 7,  made a pot of tea and had my breakfast, eggs and bacon. I put on a load of washing and when it was done I hung it out. The frost was almost gone. I had thought I would go out on my bike but it was too cold. So I went for a walk instead. The ground was still frozen in places. It was very muddy in places and I had to turn round at one spot it was so slippery in the mud and I didn’t want to slip over. When I got home H was still on the turbo trainer. For lunch we had a cup a soup and cheese. I remembered it was Thursday when I got up so I did my weekly weigh in. I lost 2 lb this week so I am back to my pre Christmas weight 125 lbs. For dinner tonight we had salmon with a jacket potato and peas. 

Wednesday.

 It’s cold again and the windows were too dry for me to clean. I had eggs and bacon for breakfast. I was going out on my bike 🚲 but it was too cold. I will see what it’s like tomorrow. H had a ride upstairs this morning and I went upstairs for one this afternoon. I did 40 minutes averaging 17.7 mph. For lunch we had a cuppa soup and a piece of cheese. For dinner tonight we had chicken curry. H has repaired our fire 🔥. The smoke had stopped working, he ordered some new bits and they came today so he fixed it. It looks as it should now.

Tuesday

 After I had eaten my breakfast I went outside to clean the patio windows I took the stool out to stand on and went back in to put my coat and gloves on. When I was all togged up I went out again, stood on the stool and turned the cleaner on , the light came on and went straight out again. The battery was flat. I put it on charge but by the time it was charged the windows had dried up. We went to the dump and dumped our old vacuum cleaner and the extraction unit we had taken out last week. From there we went to Lidl. When we got home we had a cup a soup and a doughnut. For lunch we had cheese and for dinner we had cod mornay with potatoes and green beans. 

Sunday.

 Today we were going to go out on our bikes. So I had my breakfast, and a small coffee. When son got up I went up and dressed. H got the bikes out ready for us all to go. We started off by going over the field and down the track, which has dried out nicely. We then went on the road to the track that leads us to “ farm to fork” every thing was going well and then son had a mechanical problem. To cut a long story short he told H and I to carry on and he was going to walk back home. So we left him and took a shortcut home, but as we were cycling down a road near home he came riding past us. H told me to catch him and tell him to stop so he could tell us what happened, but he said he daren’t stop because it might go wrong again. 

When we got home we had lunch. H and I had a cup of bovril and some cheese, son had his usual salad. For dinner tonight we had chicken with carrots,  broccoli, green beans and mushrooms. Dessert was raspberries and blueberries with cream. Now I am watching Dancing on Ice.
