If it is not fed with booze during that period you have to drink a load of brandy before you eat it......problem solved@becca59 Well that indeed looks very tasty.
But hang on......
Shouldn't Christmas puddings be started in like September and fed with booze till the day before they are cooked making them at least 400% proof?![]()
Good morning friends
It started off a bit dull and drizzle but it’s faired up a bit now
Seeing consultant tomorrow at hospital
Ok have a jolly good day all
I will be putting that saying into practice with a LOT of people I knowCan you use it to refer to people?
It would be lovely if some people I work with "faired up a bit"![]()
I've used GeeTee for a long time now; when I first started their delivery charge was a flat £10 so a group of us would order together. That cost has gone down a lot, and I've always found them good value and good service. I was always told not to plant tulips before November to avoid the risk of tulip fire. Lots of sites say plant Oct-Nov; the RHS still recommends November for tulips. Hope that helps you decide whether to plant more@Alison54321 I adore red tulips and have found a really good online supplier Gee Tee but it'll depend on how long they take to arrive. I'd need to get them in quite soon, it's already a bit late![]()
@becca59 go easy on the back
Decided, going to get some more tulips. They always make me grinI've used GeeTee for a long time now; when I first started their delivery charge was a flat £10 so a group of us would order together.

Yay, good call!Decided, going to get some more tulips. They always make me grin![]()
Hope the consultant behaves, and you get something useful from it.
"Faired up a bit" is a rather lovely expression, that I don't often hear.
Brilliant you and the rest of the planting team @becca59May indeed be a little stiff tomorrow. Was one of the diggers taking sods off. 1kg sack of daffs and another sack of Tete a Tete. Needed a 10 carb pack of raisins mid way but other than that maintained a steady 5mml. Bet the drop comes tomorrow.
We are a small band, 3 in their 70s, 3 in their 80s and me 59 next week. We were very chuffed with our silver guilt achievement this year. Also finished some planting in our churchyard to make it spick and span for Sunday’s remembrance service.
@Fairygodmother I totally agree it's a fine balancing act. I moved some fallen apples to plant the tulips but made sure they stayed on the surface to feed the birds through the winter. I does take extra time to garden but I reckon it's totally worth it.I’ve got some crocuses that need to be planted and tell myself that I need to clear a space and get on with tidying up the garden first. Then on the other shoulder eco FG shouts about the number of insects, voles, weeds, worms, mice and frogs that need to have a safe place too.
I love Tete a tete, delicate, and anything that smells good or makes food too.
Hi @smc4761, ? any exercise late afternoon or early evening?, are the nighttime and morning levemir doses too high? just some thoughts and the zany effects of season change and weather?Oh dear a dreadful night and I cant explain my BG at all
Just before dinner at 6pm BG was 4.8 and going down, so had dinner, home made soup and baked potato and tuna and bolused for this after meal. Couple hours later 11.4 and at bedtime 8.2. Overnight my BG normally either stays steady or Dawn P kicks in around 4. I decided not to correct. Took usual dose of Levemir about 10.15
Woke at 2am, my usual time now for having a night hypo, used to be 3 am. Libre says LO, so a wee panic. Grab a handful of jelly beans and go down stairs as this actually did feel low. Finger test says 2.4, oooops. Kettle on and in meantime grab a glass of coke and down that. Waiting for kettle to boil, another finger test about 5 mins after first one 2.2. Now really panicking. Coffee , 4 sugars, yeeeeeuch and a couple of biscuits. Another finger test 2.1, aw CR AP.
Wait a few minutes and finally 2.5. 10 mins later its now 3.6.
Woke at 4am, 14.5, so correction dose only a small one and at 7am its 15.0. Got raging headache
Cant think of any reason for the massive drop from 8.2 to 2.1 as there would have been no Novo slow on board and would not think Levemir would be working that quick![]()
