Monday

 I haven’t had time to blog it the past week. I usually write my blog in bed but I have just been going to sleep instead. But I have had a lovely weekend, I went out on my bike on Saturday with our youngest son, who was here for the weekend. Yesterday we went for a walk. He won the card game on Saturday and I won yesterday so we had a quick game of dominoes to decide the overall winner for the weekend and iit was me! Normally I don’t win. On our walk we saw 5 swans 7 deer and a heron. On our ride we saw 8 buzzards 2 deer hairs and squirrels. 

Tuesday

 I went for a walk this afternoon after lunch. As I was walking across the field I met a woman who was coming back from the shop. She said “ are you now going to Tesco’s ?” I sail no I am just going for a walk round the pond. She said “ well I was going to tell you the shop is closed because someone decided to take the money machine and there is a big hole in the wall.” I carried on with my walk. For dinner tonight we are having liver and onions with mushrooms and a jacket potato. 

Sunday

 Last night I had a better sleep. I got up at 7 o’clock and had my breakfast, egg on toast. At 11 o’clock I went upstairs for a turbo. I did an hour and rode 18.7 miles which was even faster than last week. I made myself a small coffee before I rode. For lunch we had the same as yesterday which was a packed of crisps, a fruit scone with jam and butter and a banana milkshake. Yesterday for dinner we had meat balls and pasta with a tomato sauce and today we had cottage pie with sprouts,carrots, mushrooms and tomatoes. 

Friday

 I got up a bit later today. After I had my breakfast I put yesterday’s washing in the dryer,and then made a beef stew for dinner tonight in my slow cooker. We have just eaten it and it was delicious with the dumplings I added in the last 40 minutes of cooking. T.this afternoon I went for a walk , Marriotts Way is very muddy. 

Wednesday

 Today was the day I meet my sister in law in the City, so i got up early and had my breakfast. I caught the 9.30 bus and went first to my bank to put a check in. When I got there it was closed temporarily but it didn’t say for how long. It gave you the nearest branches one being bank plain. I walked to bank plain but couldn’t find any bank. We went back to the bank and there was a new notice on the door saying we could use the Halifax which is nearly next door. We had our lunch at Harriet’s which was nice. When i got my bus home I don’t know if I got the wrong bus or they have changed the route but it took me the wrong way when I realised I pressed the bell and got off. Then I had a long walk home. I have done 12,185 steps today (4.26 miles) . For dinner tonight we had haddock with mushrooms, peas and chips.

Monday

 As soon as I got up I put on a load of washing. I had my breakfast and emptied the dishwasher. I vacuumed upstairs and cleaned the toilet, washing the floor etc. When I had done my chores I got ready and went for a walk. I walked 1.44 miles. When I got back H was on the turbo. After he had done i got lunch, we had cheese and biscuits with a banana milkshake, i also had a half an avocado. Daughter came round on her way home from work to pick up a parcel, she wouldn’t stop because she had to walk her dog. For dinner tonight we had salmon with a jacket potato and baked beans. Dessert was delicious, ice cream with fruit out of the rum toft.

Sunday

 Yesterday I went to make a pot of tea and I was unable to turn the kettle on, it was broken. It is old. H took it apart to see if he could fix it, he couldn’t. I boiled some water in a saucepan to make the tea but it doesn’t taste the same. Our daughter was working this morning so I asked her to get me a kettle. When she got home from work I got a text saying she had got me one so I went round to pick it up. When I got home we filled the kettle and boiled it,tipped that water out and then boiled it again and we had a coffee. My daughter had already made me a cup of tea. When I had drunk my coffee I got ready to go for a walk only to find that it had started to rain,so i took my coat off again and will walk tomorrow. I don’t mind walking in the rain if i am already out but i am too old to go out if it’s already raining. For lunch we had peanut butter on toast and for dinner tonight we are having steak pie with mushrooms, potatoes, broccoli and carrots.
