Thursday.

H came in and woke me up at 6.15!!!! I had my breakfast, packed my lunch, dressed, made the bed and went to work. I had to do 60 bunches of radishes, 96 bunches of carrots, 16 bunches of golden beetroot, 45 bunches of purple beetroot and 4 boxes of leeks. Then I had to to go with Andy to pick a box of parsnips and 5 boxes of turnips. All this took till 3pm and then we went to the yard to wash and pack everything which took till my hometime. When I got home I was surprised to find our daughter there. She had brought her bike round so H could put some new pedals on it for her. I don't think it went very well. When she left I went in and we had a cup of tea and i had a nice soak in the bath. For dinner tonight we had a fish pie with cauliflower and runner beans, very nice. No more work for me till Monday. I have the dreaded dentist tomorrow!!

Wet Wednesday.

I got up at 6 and put on a load of washing before having my breakfast. We sat about watching tv, drinking coffee and reading. At 9am I dressed, made the bed and then I vacuumed and dusted upstairs. I wiped the skirting boards etc so it all looks nice. We had a salad roll for lunch with another coffee. As it was raining all afternoon I just sat and knitted while I watched the cycle race in Spain.
( it was pouring there as well ) For dinner we had chicken and pasta in a white sauce with peas, onions and mushrooms. I have to work tomorrow but if I have to pull carrots they should come out without me having to fork them up.

Tuesday.

I got up at 5.48 and put on a load of washing then I had my breakfast and packed my lunch, 2 rolls with cheese and salad plus my bottle of water. After I had dressed and made the bed I hung out the washing and went to work. I had to pick 50 bunches of radishes, 60 bunches of carrots and then join Andrew on spring onions. He had to have 160 bunches. When they were done I had to trim leeks. My boss had lifted 4 rows and I had to trim them all. When I had finished them I had to go back on to spring onions for the rest of the day. When I got  home I had a cup of tea and a soak in the bath before cooking dinner. We had new potatoes, runner beans, carrots and smoked cod. I have to go to work again on Thursday.

Bank holiday Monday.

We were up at 6, I put on a load of washing and had my breakfast.H made us a coffee and I made some chocolate and chocolate chip buns. We sat and watched the news and I watched my favourite animal programme and H said we should get ready and go out on our bikes early before the track became too busy. So we were out before 9am. Just before we left I put on a loaf of bread and hung out my washing. We had a lovely ride in the sun, 18 miles off road in 1 hour and 24 minutes. When we had been home for a while I thought I would check my bread maker to see when my loaf would be done only to find that H had unplugged it to plug in and charge his garmin!! Then I was the one to get told off and shouted at because I hadn't said I was making a loaf!!! Well I simply took the dough out made a dozen rolls put them to prove and then baked them. We had cheese and tomato rolls for lunch. Our daughter,son in law and youngest granddaughter all popped round this afternoon because she cracked one of her pedals yesterday and we had some spare ones. When they left we sat in the garden in the sun, we both look rather pink again!  When I came in I had a shower and then cooked dinner, potato wedges, quoin sausages, fried eggs and baked beans with a buttered roll. It's work for me tomorrow.

Sunday.

We got up at 7 and had our breakfast, we also had a coffee and I emptied the dishwasher and began to refill it. I had no washing for once! We decided to go out on our mountain bikes at 9 o'clock because it was such a lovely morning. H picked a route where we started off on the track then used a bit of road and back onto the track and home. It was lovely, 36.4 miles. When we were going down a hill coming towards us were 2 cyclists climbing the hill. I said to H they are really going for it! Then as they passed us they shouted and stopped, it was our daughter and her husband. We had a chat and then carried on our separate ways. When we got back we had a coffee with a cheese and beetroot sandwich with tomatoes. H hosed our bikes down and also cut the front and back lawns. I did some more work in the garden but went in at 2.30 because we wanted to watch the tour of Spain and have a glass of wine. For dinner tonight we had a quiche with patatas bravas, runner beans and cauliflower. I hope to go for another ride tomorrow but not as long.

Saturday.

We were up before 6, had our breakfast, I put on a load of washing, dressed etc and we went shopping. After Asda we went to M & S because it was one of their ' meal deal ' weeks and lastly to Tesco for proper milk with the full cream on top. When we got back H made us a coffee and then went up to ide on his turbo. I unpacked and put everything away, then I read my magazine. When I had finished it I went to hang my washing out only to find it was raining! When H had finished we had another coffee and a packet of hula hoops. I went out to work in the garden while H watched the cycle race. I cleared up the oval bed and cut round the bricks. It looks much better, I hope to get some more done tomorrow and Monday. Our daughter rang this morning, they had a great couple of days in London. This afternoon our eldest son rang for a chat and to check on how we are. I hung the washing out later and it only took about an hour to dry, there was no wind but it was so warm. We had our meal deal for dinner, it was very nice. Chicken and ham lattice pies, dauphinois potatoes and peas with strawberry trifle for pud. I had planned to go out on my bike but the rain put me off and when it stopped I had decided to garden instead, oh! the wine was lovely too. I will have to cycle tomorrow.

I wonder what time I will wake up tomorrow! After breakfast I hung my washing out and swept and washed the kitchen floor. We had a coffee and then I watered my front pots etc and cleaned the downstairs loo before reading a chapter of my book. At 9.30 we got ready to go out on out bike. We had a lovely ride, the first half on the track and the second half on the road, it was warm and sunny with very little wind. When we got home again we had a coffee and salmon sandwiches with cherry tomatoes. H put our sun loungers out and we sat in the sun with a glass of wine.
