Just had breakfast of RyVita and Tartex. Been busy making a chocolate cake to take out with me this afternoon. Obviously I shan't be eating that so will make something I can eat to go along with me. Chickpea pasta with a spinach and ricotta sauce. The spinach is frozen, so it's currently...

We bought a set of those some years ago. Sadly they didn't last until we got a dishwasher. Very clumsy family. Sunflowers were my husband's favourite flower so our house has lots of sunflower items/colours. Sadly, none of the dishes.

I still have my mother's Hedgerow dishes - medium plates, cream jug, sugar bowl, milk jug and gravy boat. Still have slightly better quality Woolies bone china with an odd brown modernist pattern (Royal Vale) - also my mother's - just cups, saucers, cream jug and sugar bowl. They must be 60+...

Where did this morning go? Good afternoon, @alf_Josiah. Breezy and bright, but not sunny, here. Really glad we don't have the very high temperatures everyone in the south seems to be suffering. FBG 9.8 but 10.7 once I got through to the kitchen at 04.45 today. Down again after basal insulin...

What a pretty cup and saucer. I don't have a camera, so can't provide you with a photo of mine, I'm afraid. My little tablet will take photos, but I don't know how to get them off the tablet onto the pc. The dinner and tea set are white with black, hand-painted Japanese scenes. Very...

You have, Gennepher. Lots of mint sounds like a good option. I love the smell of mint even though I don't like the taste. I do have small mint plant (spearmint, I think) but it doesn't grow very well. Perhaps I should repot it and see if that helps. I did plant some in the herb patch I was...

Happy birthday, Rosemary. Glad the eye procedure went well. Bravo!

Thanks for that @dunelm. I'll give that a go.

12.5 at 03.20 today. Now what is that all about? Overcast but still here at the moment. Forecast says 20C later. When it's warm and still like this, there are so many flies around the bushes at the front of the house - too close to the ramp - and we battle swarms of them to get into or out...

I have a lot of "best" china because we bought it in 1965 in Japan. It is very fine porcelain but we fully intended to use it. However, it terrified everyone we put it out for - they were scared of damaging it so it sits there, in the cupboard, a total waste of space and our mt of our usable...

I give in. It's still a bit of a mystery but it seems that My 3x gr grandfather married both Elizabeths; the first one in July 1832 and the 2nd one in July 1833. I can't find a death, or a divorce for the first one but, unless he was a very naughty boy, she must have been either buried, or...

Not long back. The scan was no problem, of course, but there's no allowance made in that department for mobility issues so it wasn't so easy. Other scans are done in the Radiography department and they are so very helpful, so it was a bit of a disappointment. BG and BS went up for a bit -...

Breakfast: chicken drumsticks and coffee. 2nd meal will be sausages with cabbage (mixture of red and white). All cooked on the grill - the cabbage steamed briefly first and then finished on the grill.

I get the impression that there are lots of us who are somewhere on the autistic scale, but not obviously so. I have certainly come across both high performing autism and some at the other end of the spectrum - not sure where I am, or if I would be considered to be on it at all. My late...

7.9 at 04.00 today. Another trip to town today. This time for an echocardiogram. It's taken all this time to follow up on the 24 hour monitoring all those weeks ago. At least they are following it up. Another US scan coming up next month (liver again). Just as well it's not X-rays - I seem...

Happy 70th, Ian.

Correction: Barbecue style drumsticks.

9.8 at 0.400 today. Since then, been up to 15's but down again after insulin and breakfast to 8.7. Legs day today, so better get a move on and finish this cup of coffee before organising myself to get out of the house. Another interesting clue in the family history search yesterday - Alice...

Breakfast: egg mayo and RyVita. Hoping Neil will get me some chicken wings for a 2nd meal. Barbecue style wings with salad.

I have 2 days left on the current sensor, so we'll see how I get on with removing it. Right arm has now healed itself. Both upper arms are still mildly painful, but then, so are my legs so it must just be me. I'll ask the nurse tomorrow when she rebandages my legs to see if she has any ideas...
