Popped in to see an early showing of that new Nicole Kidman movie Destroyer earlier today. She's an undercover cop infiltrating a group of bank robbers and it all goes very very wrong. Very dark movie, no happy Hollywood endings, well worth a watch. I'm not up to speed with her filmography, but it's a brave bit of glamming down instead of glamming up. Kinda like Charlize Theron in Monster.

Fancied a change from my usual tub of Haagen Dazs. Sweet popcorn is just a bit too heavy going on the carb front, even for a non-low carber like me, and the salt one is just too salty, but the cinema had bags of Joe & Sephs gourmet popcorn, hadn't seen them before, so thought I'd treat myself to one of those, Mature Cheddar Cheese flavour.

Only about 17g per pouch compared to 40 or so for the caramel ones.

Four quid so a bit of a pocket hit, but, hey, it's the movies and they scored pretty highly on the nom nom scale.

Having a browse through their product list just now. An eclectic mix! Prosseco, camembert, marmite, goats cheese, gin and tonic, truffle etc. etc.

Thank you @Scott-C, for that type of movie I would have to give a bolus dose plus up my basal rate !!
 
Evening all from Oz. Hot day, if there was any snow it must be 6 kms up. The kitchen war zone is currently demilitarised, sanitised and overlooked by the fridge'n'freezer sentinel. Mrs Kitedoc off duty but probably sharpening knives, forks and suitable kitchen utensils. No bikkies, cakes or other yummies in sight. Not even a fat bomb!!
I have a plastic mixer lid to repair. Mind you, in kitchen warfare the mixer sans lid provides a good blinding spray.
Just as well the insulin pump is splash proof but the mixer spray would probably inactivate it due to the gelling properties causing a concrete-like set within minutes. The mix of chia, soy milk and vanilla extract is potent.
In fact I read that a driver was pulled over for DUI (drunk under the influence) after consuming too much vanilla extract.
Dangerous place the kitchen is. I know not why,
For my place is just to wash and dry.

The low carb police have not made it to my kitchen. There's two sourdough loaves cooling on the rack and one more in the oven.
Meanwhile I am waiting for the steam to clear from the morning showers so I can finish painting the ceiling from last weekend.

I have a question for the ornithologists. My understanding was robins were territorial. However, I have been seeing 2, 3 and some times more close together. Is this family, a robin peace commune or is my limited birdie knowledge wrong?

Maybe they’re less aggressive because they’ve not yet felt the need to defend a breeding territory this year? Too cold. Just a guess. Maybe they’re young ones who’ve not got the breeding needs going yet? Another guess.

Apart from the chucke at the thought of "the men in black" floating through your window on the scent of baked bread like the Bisto kids.. ;)

Here is a little trivia on robins.

New invention - a carb detector in the kitchen, set for low, medium or high settings.

@helensaramay Little Robins are lovely to look at but are very territorial and aggresive, so it sounds like they could be a family although the youngsters will be around 8 months old. They tend not to be aggressive with other species of birds
 
Greetings fellow teabags, hope you are all having a good weekend. BG have been mainly behaving themselves though I still need to work on my ratios and carbs for an Indian even with only a small piece of nan bread and no rice. BG were steady from when I had the meal around 6.15 until bed at 11pm when it was 6.4. Woke up at 4.30am to a lovely 15.3. Correction dose taken and back to normalish just now.

Will not be on much over next 5 days or so, off to Costa del Sol for 5 days flying out tomorrow. No doubt will have a few beers which will be my first beer since May 2018.

Hope you all behave yourselves
