Just some crackers with cheese for breakfast. Eating too many crackers but it is so much easier than sorting out anything more complicated. Tea - still haven't got the jar of coffee out of the larder. 2nd meal: I still have some cooked pigeon peas to use up but I also have some chicken...

6.1 at 02.15 today. Back to sleep in the chair for about half an hour but can't waste time on a Thursday morning. Takes a while to get the bandages off of my legs, then a shower, then get myself dressed, have breakfast and get everything ready to go (make sure I don't forget something I will...

Good to see you back. Don't overdo things in the heat you guys are having down south. We're back into winter gear here. Despite that, I actually turned the heating up a bit today.

I remember, when I was in primary school (in the dim and distant past) we were all given pieces of smoked glass and taken outside the classroom to watch an eclipse. I remember being singularly unimpressed. I'm afraid I remain so. Good luck to those who want to rush around the world to get a...

The rest of the cauliflower cheese for breakfast. Tea (the new jar of coffee is in the larder and too far for my legs to carry me this morning, so at the moment, I'm on tea). 2nd meal will be salmon with some salads. Talking to a visiting friend on Monday, we both realized that, although we...

8.2 at 03.00 today. Still almost dark enough outside for it to be an early eclipse. Just low cloud, in fact. Chilly as well but the wind seems to have died down.

? What did I miss?

Not belated, Ian. A bit early actually. Thanks for the good wishes. My goodness - just a day or so short of 81! How did that happen? BG at 02.00 today was 6.5. A bit early but that was when I had to get up. I did sleep again in the chair, or rather, I dozed until about 08.00. By that time...

Very tired today. I only had about an hour in bed before it got too painful and I had to get up. Slept in the chair though, so probably got about 5 hours off and on. Overnight oats for breakfast. It's not going to keep me going much longer, so I'll probably have a couple of crackers with...

Eventually made a 3 egg cheese omelette with sliced tomato and cucumber. That did me for the day. Too few drinks today as well. Must do better.

Bright but no sun to be seen. Windy, chilly. Heavy jumper weather again. BG at 03.30 today was 7.4. Not wonderful, but not too bad. I was asking Neil yesterday if he could find online for me, a new keyboard. The existing one is an old Macintosh one and was just the right clunky sort of...

Didn't get around to breakfast yet - fell asleep in the chair and am expecting a visitor soon so no time now to eat. Did have some coffee. Will have to think about a very late breakfast - about 1 pm I expect.

I have mung beans in the larder but, for some reason, never felt like using them. Perhaps I will some time soon..

Wow! I bought them at £4.59 for 200g from Amazon. I would have been better buying dried chickpeas at £3.99 for 2kg because they are really no better tasting and I think the carb content is much the same. Texture was soft because I cooked them for quite a long time but that is a matter of...

I didn't eat a 2nd meal yesterday so got through on just a slice of watermelon and cups of coffee, plus painkillers (of course). I had bought a pack of pigeon peas - just to try them and I had put them in to soak, so I had to cook them. There's now a tub of cooked pigeon peas in the fridge...

7.1 at 03.45 today. The sun is out but it is still windy and cold here. Just as well I bought those winter jumpers.

Another slice of that small watermelon for breakfast. Coffee. 2nd meal, if I can manage it, will be roasted cauliflower cheese.

9.9 at 02.30 today. I'd been awake for some time and finally felt that I was too sore to stay in bed. Took painkillers and fell asleep (as usual) in the big chair. Woke around 07.30 - still seriously painful so I took more painkillers and went back to sleep. Woke at 09.45. BG 8.1 - but I...

Thank you both, @Outlier and @dogslife, for your good wishes. It's like when you sit an exam - you feel that you've done alright but then the confidence starts to slip. We'll see what they say though.

I was going to have an avocado breakfast, but Neil offered me a slice of watermelon - just a small slice of a small watermelon, but since then I have felt full so I'm calling that breakfast. 2nd meal will be something with the avocado.
