I feel your pain @chris lowe , my late husband was a guitarist and switched allegiances from bluegrass to swing. Much as I admire Django, listening to someone learning this type of music is not fun. He literally had to change everything about his style of play. I called it plinky plink music.

Gin won't raise my BS levels, this sounds like a plan, hic. :woot: (only teasing, I advocate safe drinking limits)

If you want violin and guitar based instrumentals, it has to be Reinhardt and Grappelli.

Hi @kat1989 , I found the five stages of grief article very helpful, I was a right moody cow following my diagnosis. Abertay University are carrying out a study into counselling for diabetics, if you are interested. Some days are better than others but you will always find support here. Take...

Well, I went right off the rails last night, glass of red wine (for the antioxidants), maybe a few G&Ts (I need quinine to keep malaria at bay) then the inevitable happened and some pringles attacked me and made me eat them. Went to bed very annoyed with myself. This morning my BG was 6.8, lower...

Give the pharmacy the contact details of homehealth, they supply codefree. I am not sure if the pharmacies have preferred suppliers though. When my late husband was ill we had a prescription for fairly scare medication (in that it was a rare cancer and it was an expensive drug), I found...

BTW, the response is great when I produce my flask of cream for coffee, 'oh look at Madam', 'didn't know we were expecting royalty' etc. I smile and tell them I am worth it. :)

7.3 this morning but I did have a couple of glasses of wine last night. Good to know that is the highest it should go today though.

@suffolkscouser I think the results are the incentive. I used to pretend I did not have time to plan ahead and ate on the run a lot. It is so easy to pop a slice of bread in the toaster, buy a sandwich and eat in the car etc. I am only a few weeks in and feeling better and my BG is much...

Poached eggs for breakfast, coffee with cream (oh I am so enjoying cream in my coffee!!). Lunch will be cream of cauliflower soup, modified to leave out the potato and is just as good. Might have some strawberries and cream for afters. Low carbing is not as difficult as I thought and I am...

and one of your 5 a day, low carb at that!

Just had a snow storm here in Fife but now blue sky and sunshine. Four seasons in a day.

Oh dear, sorry I let the side down by not posting :oops: Mon - 8.2 Tues - 7.2 Wed - 7.6 Thurs - 6.7 Fri - 7.2 Then it goes a bit haywire as I work nights at the weekend and I don't know morning time from my elbow! So no reading on Sat morning and Sunday was 7.1 (although I ate through the...

Well, you do inspire me @Mike D , you will just have to put up with it ;)

That is fantastic @Mike D. Well done, you are an inspiration to us all.

I posted this elsewhere but thought it may be on interest here. http://www.abertay.ac.uk/about/news/newsarchive/2015/name,20430,en.html

Eggs can be poached in a microwave (if you are careful!), easier than scrambled I think. Lakeland (and most supermarkets) do a little egg poacher with a lid. Make sure you prick both yolk and white to prevent explosions. I serve mine on a bed of spinach.

Continuing the Johnny Cash theme....Dean Owens, a Scottish guy's album Cash Back (Songs I learned from Johnny Cash) is basically a cover album with the exception of this song. Very much Cash style.

Oh a contentious issue but I think Kermit has a slight edge with this song. (Johhny Cash is still amazing though).

Cream! I just discovered I can have cream, I am pretty pleased about that.
