Day 49: Sunday 28th April

A peaceful evening with C2 watching a film, lots of cuddles, a sofa blanket and a big sleep.

C1 was away on a sleepover.

Her return was awaited, as we had bikes on the bike rack, water in the bottles, and were raring to go.

A little later, and thanks to Mr 1957's satnav, we managed to collect C1 from her friend's house, say hello to 2 adorable little pugs, and make our way to the biggest lake in the area.

Cycling was easy. Easier than walking, to be honest. C1 and C2 raced round the cycle path with ease. So did I. Mr 1957 was in his element. No icecreams were purchased, and all was well. 

My tummy fared really well during the bike ride. My knees however felt the strain a little. Hot wheat bag, painkillers and a cup of peppermint tea sorted it out. I am now hoping that I can move tomorrow!

Further bike fun is planned for Tuesday. 

The slow-cooker produced a beautiful  lamb hot-pot - I decided to join in the fun and had a small portion for myself. Mashed a bit. Tasted fantastic. No problems - for the first time in months, I have eaten proper food, in a near-normal texture. Yippee!

A quarter of this portion was mine. All mine!

Ironing all done. Washing up completed. House reasonably tidy. For a Sunday evening, I see this as a triumph.
