Very cold today, not helped by the fact that our water is off, so our radiator system won't work. Probably a blockage at the filters from the loch that our water comes from. Either that or someone has put a spade through a water pipe somewhere.

It's not me! The radiators are turned on but the water is off. That means the water pressure is too low in the system and, power or not, it won't work. That's why I'm chilly. Usually, when the water goes off (maybe once or twice a year), we have water after everyone else runs out because we...

I've missed you guys - even though I've only been cut off for a day. We switched our ISP from BT but we found that the previous router that we had (BT want their one back) wasn't sufficiently up-to-date so Neil had to go to town to get a new one - not what he wanted, but the only one available...

Been out of touch a whole day and it seems like ages. We switched to a different ISP and then found that the router we intended to use (BT wanted their one back) was not sufficiently up-to-date so Neil had to go to town to buy another one - not one that he wanted, but the only one available...

Glad you're feeling better now. How do you grow carrots and swedes in pots? Are they very big pots and how many plants in each pot? I'd like to try that since I can't access the garden any more.

That's exactly what you need for your house renovation - the Global one, I should think.

Glad Mrs L is a lot better and able to be home. Difficult to give yourself time to relax, I know, but try to take just a few minutes to yourself.

Just had breakfast - delayed due to some admin needed to switch from one ISP (BT) to another - it was 4 low carb crackers with 2 very thin slices of my h/m pork sausage. Insulin to cover the carbs. Tea. 2nd meal is a bit problematic - I'll just have to have a lucky dip out of the freezer. Have...

6.1 sat on the edge of my bed at 04.15 today and still 6.1 by the time I got through to the kitchen. Currently at 5.1 but I am about to have breakfast. I was in the process of making breakfast when Neil needed me to do some admin about our internet connection - our contract with BT is up today...

Sardines in olive oil on crackers for breakfast with tea. 2nd meal will be more fish - the second haddock fillet made into a kind of chowder with a few bits of vegetable and some double cream. Neil has decided to take some old wardrobe doors to the dump. We bought them from IKEA years ago when...

5.8 at 02.15 today. Too sore to stay in bed so it was up and into the big chair for another couple of hours dozing under the influence of pills and tea. 5.7 when I woke up again. Did a fair bit of work on my latest writing project yesterday. A little bit of the actual writing but quite a...

Hope it doesn't take too long to get the scaffolding. Fingers crossed Mrs L gets home by the weekend.

I think we understood though.

Breakfast: a slice of h/m sausage, refried with a fried egg on top. Tea. 2nd meal will be fried haddock (a lot of frying today) with lemon and a tomato salad. BG is behaving itself at the moment - been in the 4's and 5's most of the time in the last couple of days.

Sorry about the infection and having to take antibiotics. That can upset your system quite a lot. With any luck the antibiotics will soon get you back to normal.

Dry fried slice of the mushroom pudding for breakfast today. Tea. 2nd meal will be more sausage and cabbage.

4.8 at 04.20 today. Only a little bit higher now - after breakfast and plenty of tea. Chilly today and a bit breezy and damp, but nothing much. We have got off so much better than lots of other people with the weather over the last few days.

I was able. In fact I managed to do some other cooking as well. I have been trying for years to replicate a suet pastry that my grandmother used to make - she made a thing called "China Pudding" - no idea why, it was a boiled suet pastry roll filled with bacon. Suet pastry is easy to make...

BG started off at 7.6, soon up to 8.1, when I started to move (alarm sounded) but I went back to sleep for another couple of hours and it came down to 7.0. (Just lost 2 sentences which just disappeared off the screen - try again.) Breakfast was carb heavy so I took insulin but must have...

That's lovely Gennepher
