7.8 at 03.30 today. Have you recovered from your major surgery @alf_Josiah ? You must take it easy for a few days after such a physical trauma. Plenty of TLC from Mrs J, no doubt.

That's quite a tall tree. We have a couple of crab apple trees and, even after about 40 years, they are still shorter than that one! Probably due to our climate, they never produce fruit - plenty of blossom, but it never gets anywhere. Now they are overshadowed by lots of other trees and...

7.9 at 02.15 today. 4 hours of half price electricity today, so it is bed stripping and washing day today. I've stripped mine but ran out of steam before I got it made. Must remember to get back to that before bed time. Unfortunately, now that Neil has a problem with his neck and shoulders...

The kibbeh wasn't a great success. Very tasty, but I guess I did something wrong because they all fell apart. Not the prettiest of meals. Still have some left which I will blindfold myself to eat later today. I didn't do the salad with them because I realised that I had some cauliflower...

Very bad this morning and had a home made cereal for breakfast. Not good for my BG. Tea. I am back onto tea, which is not my preferred drink, but I am beginning to suspect that coffee is having a deleterious effect on my innards. 2nd meal will be an attempt at a thing I can't remember the...

9.4 at 03.15 today. 9.0 now but it has been down into the 7's in between. Tried to get into a meeting using google meet last evening. Tablet wasn't having it at all when I eventually tried it. First I tried to use my desktop PC with my recently purchased camera and microphone. I actually...

7.6 at 02.10 today. Not long back from town - legs nicely bandaged again. Neil took the opportunity to take a whole car-load of cardboard boxes to the recycling plant on the road south from Stornoway (about 14 miles from where we are). Usually Alistair does this when he takes stuff to be...

Tea and more tea for breakfast. Lunch - just finished - was a quick chopped salad with some small cubes of cheddar. 2nd meal will be salmon with a Marie Rose sauce and some more of the salad.

I hope the results of your blood test are what you want to hear.

I did make a 2nd meal this afternoon - veg curry with cauliflower and coconut rice. Then I really spoiled myself by making an apricot crumble and having a spoon of double cream with it. Lots of insulin beforehand to take control of the BG. Lots of curry, lots of cauli rice and lots of crumble...

6.2 at 02.35 today. Rose to 8.1 before breakfast for no apparent reason. DIL is looking good these days and tells me she is feeling much better than in the past. She puts this down to Sitagliptin tablets that she has been taking recently. I imagine that's as an alternative to Mountjaro...

My best laid plans all seem to go aglae (wrong). Just as I was thinking of starting cooking yesterday afternoon, a visitor arrived so I just had to sit and chat for about 2 hours. She didn't even want a cup of tea, so at least I didn't have to dig out the shop made biscuits. She left at 3.30...

8.1 at 03.30 today. The house has finally warmed up again after the power being off yesterday. Amazing how it loses heat despite all the insulation. Maybe I'm just a cold morsel (bit more than a morsel).

Wasn't feeling hungry at breakfast time so just had a cup of coffee or two (maybe 3). Later had a couple of grapes and a couple of slivers of cheese. Stomach is rumbling a bit now though. Today I have to make that veg curry with cauliflower and coconut rice. If I leave it too much longer...

I hope you enjoy your trip to the Hebrides. It should be warmer by then, but most years August is wet. We came here in August 1974 and I was enchanted by the number of rainbows we saw in those first few weeks. I had Horlicks to make up for the missing meal and to warm me up a bit. Not sure...
