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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We then got ready to go out on our mountain bikes. I ate a banana before we left and we rode along the track to Cawston to visit H's brother but when we arrived he wasn't in. We didn't mind because we only went on the off chance and it gave us a lovely ride. Just over 29 miles. When we got back we had a coffee and a pot noodle, a quick shower and then we went to pick up a parcel from the post office, on to the garden centre to buy a fusha for our elephant hawk moth caterpillar to munch on and then to the chemist for my pills. While I was there I popped into the shop next door for 2 ice creams. When we came back we watched the bike race which ended in Tarragona Spain where we have been many times.

Sunday

Yesterday we went shopping as usual, came back, unpacked etc and had a coffee. I hung out my washing and H put the ironing board up for me so I got on with that. He found a ride on zwift he thought he would do so when I had finished the ironing I vacuumed all downstairs and washed up all the big stuff. When H finished we had cheese and biscuits for lunch with pickle. In the afternoon I sat and read while H watched rubbish on tv. At 3 pm we got ready to go to our daughter and son in law's for a B B Q. We had a glass of champagne as soon as we arrived to celebrate our daughter getting the all clear for another year from breast cancer. Our youngest granddaughter was there and we also our grandson and his partner so that was nice. The meal was delicious and it was great to catch up on all the gossip. Today I stripped the bed as soon as I got up and put it all in the washing machine. I had my breakfast and then H made us a coffee and I hung out the washing.H went up for another ride and I baked a batch of raspberry buns which turned out well. I then got ready to go out on my bike on my own. I rode 20.5 miles. I hadn't wanted to go but H got my bike out of the garage for me so I felt obliged to use it. When I got out there I was so glad I went I really enjoyed it. We had a fried egg sandwich for lunch and I got my washing in, all dry. I have put it all back on the bed. For dinner we had Spanish chicken, runner beans and potatoes with lemon cheesecake for pudding. There is a lot of rubbish on tele tonight but I am going to watch Matilda at 6.55 because I have never seen it.

I got up at 6 and put on a load of washing. I had my breakfast and after I had hung out the washing we had a coffee. I sat and read 2 chapters of my book, did a bit of clearing up and then we got ready to go out on our bikes. We did the same ride as we did on Tuesday but we did it so much faster!! We knocked 10 minutes off our time, we will really struggle to beat today's record. One of the things that helped was the state of the track and the amount of people using it. There were hardly any dog walkers or joggers and only a few other cyclists. When we got home we had cheese and biscuits with cheese and pickle for lunch and a cup of coffee. All my washing got dry yet again so tomorrow I will get all the ironing before the day warms up too much. For dinner tonight we had pork chops, with mashed potato, carrots, cauliflower and broccoli with gravy. We are looking forward to tomorrow because we are going to our daughters for a bar b q.

Wednesday 16 August 2017

Wednesday

When I went to bed last night I had only been there a couple of minutes when I had to get up and use the toilet. After the third time I gave up and took my pillow downstairs and laid on the sofa. I was up and down all night so I had to ring my boss and tell him I couldn't go in today. I kept feeling sick but I wasn't. I didn't have any breakfast but I had a roll with marmite for lunch and for dinner tonight we had a jacket potato, cod in breadcrumbs and chick peas. I did a load of washing and got it dry and sat in the garden for a while this morning but it wasn't really warm enough so I gave up. I think it was better this afternoon but I couldn't be bothered to go out again.

Tuesday 15 August 2017

Tuesday

I got up with a headache again! I think it's when I do a lot of weeding, I am bent over the whole time. It's ok if I just do it for a couple of hours but yesterday I was weeding from 11.10 till 3.50. I put on a load of washing and had my breakfast. I hung the washing out and then just sat about till my headache eased up I made the bed and and flicked a duster about a bit until H said we should get ready to go out on our bikes. We went to Reepham along the track and then home again, it was 23.5 miles so enough for us to say we had our exercise. When we got back I made us a coffee while H hosed the bikes down. After we had showered we went to drop my prescription at the Doctors so I can get a repeat, then to the chicken farm for eggs and finally to the chop for a French stick 🥖 and a packet of ham which we had for lunch with a glass of wine. For dinner tonight we had rump steak, fried red onions, mushrooms, tomatoes and potato wedges, it was yummy. My headache disappeared while we were riding which was great.

I managed to stay in bed till 6.30 then I put on a load of washing and had my breakfast. We had a coffee and I hung the washing out. I sat for ages and finished the book I was reading and then I listened to the Archers omnibus before getting ready to go out on my bike. I didn't feel like going far, in fact I didn't feel like going out at all. So I decided to take a bag and and go on the hunt for some blackberries. I found a nice quiet country lane where there were loads. I biked 13.7 miles and when I arrived back I washed the blackberries and started off some blackberry whisky. H rode on his turbo doing 100 k average 22.2 miles an hour. (63miles ). We had a fried egg sandwich for lunch with a cup of coffee. We then watched a cycle race and I knitted at the same time. We had a glass of wine and for dinner tonight we had a fish pie with cauliflower cheese. Our daughter asked if we would like to go to theirs for a B B Q next Saturday ( weather permitting ) so we have that to look forward to, I hope the weather is good enough. Well it's work for me again in the morning and the boss says we will be very busy because Andy has a hospital appointment at 11.30 so won't be with us for long. At least when we are busy the day flies past.

We rode on and off road and did 47 and a bit miles. It was hard work. He sun shone all the way round and it was lovely.

Wednesday 9 August 2017

Wednesday

I stayed in bed till 7.15 and then had my breakfast. It was far too wet to go out on my bike and H was having his Spanish lesson so I got him to give me a lift to the City. It was a bit disappointing because I wanted some special wool, we had looked on line and the only place to get it locally was John Lewis. But they didn't have any!! Well they had one 50 gram ball. This means I will have to go back to Sheringham, they have it in a nice little wool shop there that sells it. I had a wander round the clothing department because I want some ideas for a nice wedding outfit. I won't need it till next year but I like looking. I bought us each a sausage roll and a Belgium bun for our lunch and I sat and knitted all afternoon. For dinner tonight I made a cottage pie which turned out nice. I kept waiting for my boss to ring and tell me it will be too wet for me to work tomorrow but no such luck.

Tuesday 8 August 2017

Waste of a day!

We carefully watched the weather forecast yesterday evening and decided it was going to be too wet to do the long cycle ride to Wroxham that we had planned. When I got up just after 6am I looked out of the window and we had had a bit of rain overnight but it looked quite bright. Anyway we didn't change our minds so after a coffee H brought his computer downstairs and got on with his Spanish homework ready for his lesson tomorrow. I just sat and read my book. We had corned beef sandwiches with tomatoes for lunch and then I went outside and worked in the garden. H came out and cut the front lawn. I have filled my brown garden rubbish bin again. I came in again at 3.30 and got on with some knitting. At 4.30 my boss rang to say it was too wet for me to go to work tomorrow!!!! I didn't know what he was talking about! We hadn't ( at that time ) had a drop of rain and we are only about 5 miles from my work as the crow flies! However it is raining here now and when we watched the news there has been rain all over the place and if we had gone out on our bikes we would have been soaked. We had cod in a mustard sauce for dinner with runner beans, courgette, carrots and new potatoes.

We had a coffee and both sat and read for a while. H was going to ride upstairs this morning so I went out on my own. First I went out to pick some Myra Bella's, I didn't want to make any more jam or gin, I just wanted enough so I can take a few to work each day to eat with my lunch, I love them. I brought them back home and put them in the fridge and went back out for a ride on my bike. I just did a roundabout ride to the crab house and bought 2 crabs for our lunch. For lunch we had a crab salad, it was nice. I hard boiled 2 eggs, and made some potato salad with cold cooked potatoes and chives from the garden. We also had lettuce, tomatoes, sliced red onion , cucumber and of course the crab. I sat in the garden and ate mine, the sun was lovely.

He got our bikes out of the garage and changed all 4 of our tyres over from our smooth to our knobbly ones because we were going ' off road '. We planned to do 23 miles but we had only gone about 4 when we felt a few spots of rain. We carried on but it began to get worse so we stopped, put our waterproof jackets on and turned back. In the end we only rode 13.5 miles but as it was off road it was a good workout and took us an hour and two minutes so we had our exercise. When we got back we had an instant coffee and for lunch cheese and biscuits with a slice of fruit cake. This afternoon H went into the garage to do a bit more clearing up and sorting out rubbish. I had a shower and then sat and knitted. For dinner tonight we had pizza and runner beans, potatoes and carrots tossed in butter. It was strawberries and ice cream for pudding. We had a cup of tea to wast it all down. I forgot to say that we had a glass of wine around 3.30 !!!

My sandwiches were nice, the cucumber is one our daughter in law grew and is really sweet and juicy. I then had to go to beetroot and do 20 bunches of golden ones and then bunch purple ones till 1.45 when I had to go to the greenhouse to pick tomatoes. I did that till hometime and picked 9 trays. When I got home our daughter rang, she is coming round tomorrow afternoon. We had pasta for dinner with chicken, fried onions,mushrooms, courgette and tomatoes in a white wine sauce, it was nice.

Tuesday.

I got up at 5.40 and just read till heard H moving about then I made a pot of tea and we had breakfast. A little later we had a coffee and then I dressed and did a bit of housework. H made a loaf of bread and I made the bed. He then took our bikes out of the garage and changed our knobbly tyres for our smooth ones. It is because the track is so muddy so we decided to do a road ride for a change. It was hard work because the wind was so strong and seemed to be all over the place. Anyway we enjoyed the ride and it made a nice change. When we got back we had an instant coffee, a ham and mustard sandwich with sungold tomatoes. This afternoon we watched a cycle race and then I showered and cooked dinner. We had cod in a mustard and horseradish sauce with new potatoes, runner beans and carrots. I have to work again tomorrow.
