02.06 7.15am FBG 6.4 Unsurprising after delicious meal and rather large dessert yesterday. No indulgences today. Ahem! Eyes the chocolate Tiffin in the fridge. Stay back!! Do not approach!! Coffee with friends in a nearby town this morning, it's a bar, not a bakery, so no temptation there...

01.06 8.45am FBG 5.4 Pleasant slightly overcast morning, just what the tiny, tender shoots of grass need. We hacked back the laurel trying to take over the rose arch last night, so now it looks a bit bare. Decided to change the bed , but got overtaken by my occaisional OCD and ended up turning...

31.05 8.45am FBG 5.4 Did in the end go to the market with a friend who had visited especially to attend. She has leukaemia and normally it is her having dizzy spells, but yesterday was me needing to lean on her briefly. The HH(Helpful handyman) came again finished taking off the roof and...

First, your garden is blooming lovely. After that I hope the appt today leads to some help for you both. Couldn't get into the site first thing. Restarted my phone and it was fine. Best wishes to you and MrsL

I have some similar in red and they too are heavily scented with long lasting flowers. Maybe because they are closer to the original wild roses? My other more highly bred roses some have perfume, others only a faint trace of it, but all of them need the dead flowers cutting off at least every...

These white roses are beautiful, are they also scented? @gennepher

But only early this morning. Working fine now

Indeed it is @ianpspurs and today I had an unexpected delivery from them. I like that relatives have now patronized both the florists in town on my behalf - no favouritism here The greatest surprise was the flowers were from my youngest brother, who has almost never remembered my birthday

30.05 7.10am FBG 4.7 8.30am FBG 5.1 9.55am FBG 5.7 Had two eggs scrambled with butter and a cup of coffee Expecting visitors so made shortbread and no bake chocolate Tiffin - although that wont have three hours to set, so started it off with 30mins in the freezer. The Helpful Handyman is back...

Thank you @gennepher

29.05 7.45am FBG 5.9was feeling really awful yesterday, tired and dizzy. Went to bed when i got home. MrSlim produced dinner, but I couldn't eat it. Not feeling great this morning but need to drive to a nearby town to get Hba1c test. Stupidly forgot about fasting and had breakfast yesterday...

What an over the top reaction from that doctor, totally unprofessional. Very rude as well.

28.95 7.25am FBG 5.3 Have been pottering about in the garden for half an hour or so. Looks like rain, so i watered all the pots by the house which don't always get the benefit of it. Rain would be really good for the sprouted grass seed laid down last night. Doctors appointment yesterday, got...

Hope your head isn't too sore today, sometimes the next day bumps feel worse. Was pleased to read about Merlin, have been wondering how your strays are getting on.

Hi ellesangel, am wondering if you have heard of resistant starch? This is a easy method to reduce carbs in rice, pasta and potatoes, I think it works on bread too.( which can be frozen in slices and then toasted) Simply put. Cook in advance your chosen carb laden food and then chill...
