we have had a good day. I was up at 4.30 because my back was so painful I couldn’t sleep. So I washed and dressed and emptied the dishwasher and put it all away. Then I got breakfast ready H came downstairs, he hadn’t slept well either because it’s too hot. We had our breakfast and then I got on with some housework before it got any hotter. At 10.30 our daughter arrived to ride on the turbo trainer. H put her on a hard course where she had to ride up a volcano. She did really well. Before she left we sat in the garden and had a cup of tea. When she left we got ready to go out on our bikes. It was H’s first ride outside since he had his accident. We did 18.2 miles. It was terribly hot but it was a nice ride and he did well. When we got home we had our cheese roll for lunch and a pear 🍐 for dessert. We hadn’t been home long and our no 1 son rung us from his work. He began to talk about his motor bike! I didn’t know what he was talking about . He said he had broken down, I asked why he was telling me that when he was atwork, and he said because I might wonder why his motor bike was outside our house without him. We hadn’t seen it and didn’t know it was there. For dinner tonight we curry 🍛.

I went to bed last night feeling fine and woke up this morning with a bad back ! It’s typical because we had planned to go out today nd I was looking forward to it. Well we went anyway but didn’t walk as far as we were going to because of my back. H did really well and we enjoyed our day. We went to Blickling, we had a coffee as soon as we arrived and then we walked through the gardens and went and had a look at the lake. We watched a play and went round the walled garden. We had an ice cream before we left . It was hot 🥵 and we were glad to be home. We didn’t go round the house because we went last year. For dinner tonight we had chicken bits in bread crumbs with chips and peas, a peach 🍑 for dessert. Yesterday we had chops with carrots, potatoes and kale, with strawberries for dessert.

Today is our great granddaughter’s 6 th birthday so I decided to bike 🚲 round with her birthday present. H got my bike out for me and oiled the chain for me. It was so hot, I had to have a bag on my back and it stuck to me. Any my ride went well and I enjoyed it I didn’t hurry. She had got some lovely presents and both the children were so pleased to see me. When I got home H was sitting in the garden in the sun but he went straight into the kitchen and made me a coffee while I was upstairs changing out of my cycle clothes. For dinner tonight we had cod, chips and peas. It was very nice.
