    Wacky weather.

    Anyone else under water today? Here, we've had the most spectacular thunderstorm I can ever remember, lasting virtually all day. Even my garden is flooded, and I live atop a sandstone cliff; the town centre, literally built on top of the Mersey, is well and truly flooded and the roads resemble...

    No, not McDonald's. The Daily Telegraph has been running a cookery series recently giving recipes which can be made in 5 to 10 minutes, some of them great for diabetics. I particularly fancy trying this one: Linky.

    Any hikers out there?

    For a break, I've always enjoyed disappearing into the hills with a tent for a week or so. Before being diagnosed with T2, choosing supplies to take with me was easy but now I'm at a loss as to what would be suitable. Ideally, it should be lightweight, compact and easy to cook (if cooking's...
