7.9 at 02.15 today. 4 hours of half price electricity today, so it is bed stripping and washing day today. I've stripped mine but ran out of steam before I got it made. Must remember to get back to that before bed time. Unfortunately, now that Neil has a problem with his neck and shoulders...

The kibbeh wasn't a great success. Very tasty, but I guess I did something wrong because they all fell apart. Not the prettiest of meals. Still have some left which I will blindfold myself to eat later today. I didn't do the salad with them because I realised that I had some cauliflower...

Very bad this morning and had a home made cereal for breakfast. Not good for my BG. Tea. I am back onto tea, which is not my preferred drink, but I am beginning to suspect that coffee is having a deleterious effect on my innards. 2nd meal will be an attempt at a thing I can't remember the...

9.4 at 03.15 today. 9.0 now but it has been down into the 7's in between. Tried to get into a meeting using google meet last evening. Tablet wasn't having it at all when I eventually tried it. First I tried to use my desktop PC with my recently purchased camera and microphone. I actually...

7.6 at 02.10 today. Not long back from town - legs nicely bandaged again. Neil took the opportunity to take a whole car-load of cardboard boxes to the recycling plant on the road south from Stornoway (about 14 miles from where we are). Usually Alistair does this when he takes stuff to be...

Tea and more tea for breakfast. Lunch - just finished - was a quick chopped salad with some small cubes of cheddar. 2nd meal will be salmon with a Marie Rose sauce and some more of the salad.

I hope the results of your blood test are what you want to hear.

I did make a 2nd meal this afternoon - veg curry with cauliflower and coconut rice. Then I really spoiled myself by making an apricot crumble and having a spoon of double cream with it. Lots of insulin beforehand to take control of the BG. Lots of curry, lots of cauli rice and lots of crumble...

6.2 at 02.35 today. Rose to 8.1 before breakfast for no apparent reason. DIL is looking good these days and tells me she is feeling much better than in the past. She puts this down to Sitagliptin tablets that she has been taking recently. I imagine that's as an alternative to Mountjaro...

My best laid plans all seem to go aglae (wrong). Just as I was thinking of starting cooking yesterday afternoon, a visitor arrived so I just had to sit and chat for about 2 hours. She didn't even want a cup of tea, so at least I didn't have to dig out the shop made biscuits. She left at 3.30...

8.1 at 03.30 today. The house has finally warmed up again after the power being off yesterday. Amazing how it loses heat despite all the insulation. Maybe I'm just a cold morsel (bit more than a morsel).

Wasn't feeling hungry at breakfast time so just had a cup of coffee or two (maybe 3). Later had a couple of grapes and a couple of slivers of cheese. Stomach is rumbling a bit now though. Today I have to make that veg curry with cauliflower and coconut rice. If I leave it too much longer...

I hope you enjoy your trip to the Hebrides. It should be warmer by then, but most years August is wet. We came here in August 1974 and I was enchanted by the number of rainbows we saw in those first few weeks. I had Horlicks to make up for the missing meal and to warm me up a bit. Not sure...

It's just after 8pm and the power has just come back on. I did a few things before the house got too cold and I just felt too cold to carry on despite the extra layers. I spent most of the last 4 hours wrapped in a big fleece jacket and a blanket, in the big chair. The 3 or 4 hour job turned...

It's just after 8 pm and the power has just come back on. I did some odd jobs around the place but I was so cold that I just sat in the big chair with a fleece jacket on and a blanket. Too late to do anything about food now. I'll just have a hot drink and call it a day.

RyVita's all gone, lasagne's all gone, think I may have to back off from the legumes a bit, at least while I am still taking antibiotics (something is having an unfortunate effect on my innards again). There are a few Jacob's crackers left, a few apricots, a banana, some oranges and lemons and...

6.0 at 03.20 today. Today should be the day when our main fuse box is replaced with a new one - the old one is mostly plastic and fairly worn out, so a new metal one is going in. That means the house being without power for 3 or 4 hours and it isn't a warm day. Big woolly poncho again, I...

6.2 at 01.30 today. Pills, coffee and a doze in the chair later at 04.15 it was 5.2. Still only 6.6 after moving around a bit. I never know which reading is the FASTING BG but today it doesn't make much difference. Chilly, damp, overcast and windy here today. The forecast says between 9 and...

7.4 at 04.00 today. Went to bed at 23.00 last night and woke again at 01.00 today. Didn't bother with BG then, just settled myself into the big chair to get a bit more comfortable and did manage to doze again until 04.00. It's a 3 layer day today - heavy tee-shirt, jumper and big knitted...

I got it wrong. The chickpea lasagne was yellow lentil lasagne. It was pretty good though. I used 3 sheets, thinking that the whole dish would make 2 portions but it was very filling and I only had 1/3rd of it. 2 more meals left. One later today, the other may go into the freezer...
