Breakfast: vegetable risotto. Tea. 2nd meal will be another omelette with mushroom and chicken, plus some salad.

5.5 at 02.30 today. That was a surprise as it had shot up around 22.00 last night to 15.9 (I had eaten a plate of chilled and reheated risotto and had prepared for it with plenty, I thought, of insulin). I did take some more insulin to bring it down, although I don't like doing that last thing...

Sorry to hear of your MIL's passing. Did you mention it before and my memory is playing tricks with me again? In any case, condolences to your family. I'm sure you will miss her.

I can imagine it. Em will be 14 next week. Would she look bemused? Actually, I think she would just shrug and think that that's what the world is like. Not enough curiosity in her make-up. But maybe that will come with a bit more age. I think I was probably similar at 14 - I knew from...

Hug for the 5.2. I would love to be at that level consistently but then, I'm not good at keeping it steadily under control. I'm afraid my degree was much more prosaic (in many of its meanings) but I love history because it puts things into perspective. Both my sons have a vast bank of...

Went to bed about 01.00 with BG 5.7 but Libre woke me up at 01.30 telling me it was 3.4 si I had my stand-by can of sweetened coffee and went back to sleep. Half an hour later it woke me again, telling me it was 3.4 (for the alarm to go off, it must have risen above 4 and then dropped again.)...

Breakfast: the 2nd hake fillet with the tomato/courgette/onion mixture that I roasted yesterday. Tea. 2nd meal will be a souffle omelette with chicken and mushroom plus some salad.

BG just dropped down to 3.7. Cup of tea and a couple of ginger biscuits should do it. Yes, just checked. 4.2 now. Just about to prep the fish and veg/fruit - whichever they are. Also need to fry off some mushrooms ready for a chicken and mushroom omelette tomorrow morning and some mushroom...

Glad that your results indicate that your condition is stable, Ian. Yes, Dubai has a name for opulence these days. Fine for some. Not so great for the folk building it all, of course. Is it ever? I hope all goes well for your son. My cousin enjoyed his time working there and got on...

6.6 at 03.15 today. Cold today - extra layers, including a big blanket of a sweater. It's me, not the actual temperature, which I turned up a bit this morning.

Difficult to stay awake this morning so I've only just had breakfast - a ham sandwich. Dosed with plenty of insulin to cover it. It was within easy reach and easy to make. Didn't like it much - local bread is pretty awful but it filled a gap. Tea. 2nd meal will have to be fish - Neil got me...

Had a ham and cheese toastie for breakfast. Should know better. It put BG up to 9.6 and left me feeling yukky. I'm going back to bed. May not be the food. It could just be exhaustion after going out yesterday.

6.7 at 03.50 today. Bit of a struggle today. I might just go back to bed. Been dozing in the chair for a few hours and still feeling yukky.

It's almost 6 pm and I've been struggling to get onto my feet since I got home. As a result, I haven't made any food so I'll just get out some more of the risotto and heat that. Neil bought a chicken in town so I did manage to get that into a big pot and poached the whole bird. So there's...

Reminds me of Banksie (the Newfoundland DIL had). Newfies are bred to rescue people from the water but it was very clear that Banksie didn't like the water. He just wouldn't go into the sea with the family but would sit on the beach howling his dismay. They tried taking him as a passenger on...

Yes, congratulations to your grandson. Well done that man! Mmm j** d****nut. I have a story about a j** d****nut. When we were young our mother used to take my brother and myself to a local cinema after school on a Friday. Next to the cinema was a baker's shop and we would be allowed a cake...

7.9 at 04.00 today. Up a bit after breakfast, but I daresay it will go down again shortly. Legs day today. I don't suppose I'll even attempt much else. It usually knocks me for 6, getting out of the house and into the Health Centre. Breathing is particularly bad since going to the hospital...

Breakfast was some more of the 'risotto' from yesterday. It looked awful, especially after I added the last of the mushroom soup to it, but it tasted great! Tea. of course. 2nd meal depends on what Neil can get in the town today while I am getting my legs seen to.

Great that your car passed its MOT. I don't know about you, but I'd be lost without my car, out here in the sticks. I'd be lost without my driver too. My eyes are not good enough to drive any more.

I don't really understand about all this Woke stuff. As far as I am concerned, what we need in this world is justice for everyone. For rich for less rich (in a just world, there should be no poor unless that's their choice), for young or old, for healthy or sick, or disabled, for every ethnic...
