9.8 at 04.20. Dropped a bit by the time I got through to the kitchen. I see from the News of TV that most of the rest of the country is seeing the sun. It's hiding behind some fairly heavy clouds here. I also see that there's another heatwave coming - with any luck, I'll be able to go back...

Ooh I am jealous! What lovely flowers. The magnolia is looking very healthy too. I just noticed this morning that one of my 5 rowan trees has about half a dozen bunches of berries on them - very small and very pale, but they are there. Not exactly overloading the tree but I suppose we should...

BG high today - starting in the 10s and rising to the 13s despite insulin and definitely low carb breakfast. Just going to be one of those days, I guess.

I'm having a high BG day. Started at 10.3 and rose to 13.4 after insulin and black coffee. Took some more insulin and had breakfast of an Avocado - not very sustaining so made a kind of pancake with coconut flour, eggs and milk - not very successful, but it tasted nice. Dry fried an egg to...

So glad that the short respite has done both of you so much good. Fingers crossed that things keep on improving and Mrs L becomes more like the woman she once was. Happy birthday to middle son tomorrow. I hope all of the family has a great time, especially you and Mrs L.

I find that taking carb rich foods with either double cream or butter slows down the BG response by hours, but eventually BG does rise and usually too far. It takes something like 4 hours to start rising but stays high for 24 hours more. Not the same response as you are getting, obviously, but...

Melted some cheese and topped it with dry fried eggs for breakfast today. Tasted fine, but I've been feeling grotty ever since - Cheddar produces an awful amount of fat when melted. That doesn't seem to have the same effect when mixed with a cracker. I have the makings of an avocado salad...

10.5 sitting on the edge of my bed at 03.20. By the time I got through to the kitchen it was 9.7. One cup of coffee and insulin later - 12.5. On my 2nd cup of coffee now and we'll see how it goes.

Your vegetable planting sound excellent. Well done. Our garden grows grass, weeds, shrubs and trees, but is useless for vegetables. We've tried over the years, but never managed to get a harvest out of anything other than a crop of potatoes, which we don't eat now, so no point growing those...

Muscles still very stiff but better than they were. I can at least move a bit. Just back from getting my legs bandaged so am feeling a bit worn after having to walk even a little bit. Breakfast was the only thing I could find this morning - nothing left after a week with no shopping because...

Good evening, Alf. Good to see you here. I did take my BG this morning, but I've forgotten it. I do remember that it was high though. Done nothing today - Yesterday I found some more stuff to go through, still looking for paperwork and jewellery, and found a box of papers and a basket full...

Didn't go to plan yesterday. The cheese omelette was fine and didn't do any harm to BG. However, during the day I found another couple of places to turn out in my search for those lost papers/jewels. Didn't find them but it involved pulling one large box and one very large basket, both full...

Tuesday morning and the sun is shining in my eyes through the window behind my PC. Have to half close the blinds to see what I'm doing. A bit warmer today but still quite windy. I'm on my 2nd cup of coffee and thinking about breakfast. Eggs in some form, I suppose. Ah yes - cheese omelette...

The wind is easing off and Floris has done her worst. Very little damage - just some of my pot plants on the ramp got blown over, heavy clay pots but perhaps too much growth for stability. I just left them over so they would come to no harm. The sun is trying to come out now.

Wind speed here right now is 40 mph, gusting to about 70 mph. Trees are taking a battering, but haven't heard anything getting blown away yet. Not raining at present but 95% chance of rain in the near future. Temperature 12C but feels nearer 6C. A good day to be indoors. Power cuts were...
