Breakfast: 2 pork sausages, 2 rashers streaky bacon, 2 eggs, fried. Coffee. 2nd meal: in the process of cooking - the chicken part of chicken biryani. I'll make cauliflower and coconut rice to it maybe tomorrow, or Wednesday.

6.7 at 04.00 today. One cup of coffee and a shot of insulin later, Libre was sounding a High Glucose alarm. Thinking about some breakfast but am feeling unimaginative right now. Eggs? Maybe - haven't had any for several days. There's some bacon and sausages in the back porch fridge as well...

The difference between goat meat and mutton is that it has less fat. Depending on what the goat has eaten in its life, I gather the taste can be stronger than mutton. Some mature goat meat may be available in places on the mainland but there's no way of getting either goat or mutton on the...

Libre woke me up at 02.30 to tell me BG was too low, so I struggled through to the kitchen to get something inside me to bring it up. By the time I got there, though, it had bounced up to 6.7, so I just had a cup of coffee and dozed in the big chair. Up for another coffee about 04.30 and BG...

Enjoy your trip to Scotland, when it comes. There's lots to see. Even other statues wearing traffic cones. Is it a Scottish thing? There's lots on the Central belt, around Glasgow and Edinburgh but lots too in other areas - the Highlands, the Islands, the north east, coasts all around. It...

Been potting up little lavender plants this afternoon. It's quite amazing how fragrant they are even though they are only about 1 - 2 inches tall and, obviously, all leaves. I have 16 plants now - should be white, pink and blue but I can't remember how many of each colour. That should keep...

7.9 at 04.00 today. Still hunting for papers and jewellery. I've just thought of one more place I could look for the jewellery, so I'll go and check that soon, but I can't think of anywhere else to look for the papers. They are definitely in the house. They were never given either to the...

I gave a like for all the work Mr Slim has done, but should have made it a hug after I read your added part about the work involved in fitting the buffets. Hug for Mr S, if he does the work. Hug for you, if he won't!

Soup for breakfast, as I'd promised myself. Not a full serving left so I added it to the cabbage/sausage stew. That mixture will be my 2nd meal today. It will do for one meal but there won't be enough left for a meal on Sunday so I'll have to find something else in the freezer to take out and...

As I approached 60 and was expecting to work for a good few more years, I was offered the chance to defer my pension and gain an extra benefit when I reached 65. I didn't, at that point, need the pension but when I asked what would happen to the amount I had saved the government by not taking...

Thanks so much @Lamont D. Especially so since you have so much to think about at the moment. My Dad used to say that the Japanese heard that I was born and gave up the fight the next day, so I guess he was equating me with the atom bombs! I don't think my contribution anywhere near matches...

Breakfast was late today - too busy trying to clear up after my cooking efforts yesterday. It was some more of the soup from yesterday. For my 2nd meal today, I raided the little freezer (in the kitchen) again. There was a box labelled "Braised cabbage" and two more labelled "saurkraut" (I...

Not normally, but my grandmother's family seemed to have the longevity gene. Her sister lived to about 104.

Actually, I think I might award myself a "winner" if I outlive my grandmother and pass the 97 mark.

Not to worry about that. I don't really mark my birthdays (too many of them) but everyone seems to think this one is a special milestone. I think the 100th one would be a bit special, but nothing up to that point. It was a lovely day though. Thank you.

Thank you @SlimLizzy. Yes Neil did well to find the strongbox. He doesn't really do all the birthday stuff but he always comes up with very thoughtful gifts. What with roses from my brother, clothes from Alistair's family and a phone call from my recently found, long lost cousin, it was a...

Happy birthday to your granddaughter and best wishes to her parents.

Your friend D is very lucky.

Thank you, Gennepher.

Breakfast was 21g of carbs in the form of Jacob's Cream Crackers with salmon pate piled onto them. 2nd meal was vegetable soup using a pack of frozen vegetables, some frozen potatoes, a handful of crispy fried onion and some miso stock cubes. Tasted fine. Loads left for the next 2 or 3 days.
