I'm not a morning person so it'll always be morning from me, I'm much happier and talkative after breakfast.

Last night I sussed carbonara - my BG didn't venture above 6 from the time I ate (about 8pm) until now. Sucks to anyone who says people with diabetes shouldn't eat pasta or pizza. OK, I know not everyone is lucky enough to be able to manage high carby meals but we are all different and putting a blanket ban on scrumptiousness is not necessary.
Periods - yep, painful. When I was a teenager, I was told I would grow out of it. When I was hospitalised in my 40s, I was told it was a one off. When I was hospitalised again a few years later, I was told it was nothing to worry about. A couple of years ago, I was finally referred to a gynaecologist who said he was surprised I wasn't suffering more. I had an op six weeks later (went private because my company paid for BUPA and the NHS couldn't give me a date) and never looked back.
@Knikki, hope you sort your highs out.
@WuTwo Morrissons have a "National Vegetarian Event" on at the moment. I am not sure what that really means but they were advertising it at the freezer cabinets in my local store. So you may find something yummy there. Enjoy your holiday, vegan cafes (I assume by mentioning them in plural you intend to visit them in plural), nut butter and more.
@MeiChanski enjoy the up coming end of term.
Everyone else, enjoy the sun.
... Add on ... @Cumberland I hope Wispa is doing well. I realised she didn't feature in our doggie chat.
Oh no, poor parrot. How old is it?Well my chest is down to my african grey parrot.....anyone want to but an african grey??

So now we seem to have a variety of culinary tastes also from vegan to omnivores, low to high carb. I think as a collective we should get this going again
Anything goes
@porl69 - if she needs re-homing I have friends who work with a parrot re-homing organisation. My friends can't take her as they have a difficult parrot that they are re-settling into their home (she's taking a while to settle down and doesn't like men). But, if you need me to I can ask my friends for the organisation's details. Just message me if you need to, but if you can re-home your girl in a suitable home then so much the better.
Brilliant idea @Knikki I've added a photo of something I ate in Poland and also my own version of pulpo which was manicFound Kev's thread

Aaaah poor porl's parrot.
I hope he finds a good home and @porl69 does not miss him too much.
I have finally returned from my spin class. Normally, I run down the hill, spin and push myself back up the hill. Today, I ran down the hill calling myself an idiot, did the spin, walked across town to the office I used to work, hung around outside, met himself as he finished his meeting, took his house keys and then walked home. Yep, when I went to double lock the front door (after I had closed it, so it was already single locked and I couldn't get back in), I realised the keys I had in my hand were for my parent's house.
At least I have now done my steps for the day.
And the other silver (coloured but not pure silver) lining is I was away from my desk for longer. I have discovered an area where I definitely have insufficient fat for Patchy to hold on to. He's ok when I am standing and walking, he's not too bad when I am sitting upright on a bike but he is not happy when I slouch at my desk.
He has been in place for about 18 hours and has another day and a half to go. The question is whether I move him and not have enough sets for the full month trial or I leave him in place an experience the discomfort or I stop slouching at my desk ... nah that last option is not gong to happen so it is change or endure. It's not as if it keeps me awake as it is ok when I am lying down.
My lovely husband went shopping earlier this week and bought a gigantic stack of Linda McCartney frozen food. Sadly nearly all of it is veggie but not vegan. So - quick phone call to very happy daughter-in-law who is making space in her freezer. She and my son will come over for dinner on Sunday and take a big heap of food home. I'm delighted because she doesn't have much money and this will help out no end, and I've made sure she know she's doing us a huge favour. I'm going to do seitan steaks in a sticky bbq sauce with veggies and jacket spuds, and sort out some sort of a dessert that looks like I could do it on Saturday and just put it by.
She wants to come early and have a seitan making tutorial which is fine, and will be fun for both of us. I think seitan is the one veggie thing you can feed any omnivore and they will like it, so she is looking forward to making it at home for herself and my son.

My bf and I ate linda McCartney sausages until we were sick of it but I enjoy her burgers. It sounds like it’s going to be a scrumptious and delicious feast. I also think tofu is quite versatile, my family and I always enjoy it - fried crispy dipped in Vietnamese dressing, in ma po dish, as a soup or in sauce. The asian tofu puddings gets us going too
I make my own seitan and tofu, but do use packet stuff when imagination fails me. I'm very fond of edamame burgers and also pulled jackfruit. Mind you I just like jackfruit - seems to enhance any dish that it goes in.
Yes Mum
I do move a lot. This is a combination of fidgeting in my seat and getting up and walking around.
So the slouching is not very long term.
An example of this is when I was on a night flight from Australia (I cannot sleep when my butt is higher than my feet - I know weird), the chap in the seat in front of me turned around and said "For Chr1st sake, sit still!"
