I hope you are aware we need to learn all about her personality as well. So be prepared for a lot of writing.@helensaramay I'm happy to share the excitement. I so miss my girl and a new puppy won't replace her but will be a whole new personality to learn, and a distraction.
@ert this one, like the last two, is a german short-haired pointer. My husband was a falconer and they're often used as falconry dogs. I love the breed; I like the temperament, the way they move, their sense of humour, and with family and friends I really appreciate the fact that they like, and are very good with, children.
Thanks @helensaramay for taking time out to post the recipes. Look fab especially the puff pastry in the tarte. I'd sit and have a rest for a minHopefully I have attached both recipes.
The tarte tatin (sorry about the spelling of the file name) is a bit faffy and I cheat by making the components (onion and carrot) at the same time and transferring to a pie tin to cook.
However, the muhammara, a Syrian pepper and walnut dip, is a doddle with a food processor.
I have just prepared the tart components and will finish it tomorrow, made the muhammara and beetroot dip and think i’ll do the cake when I get back from my massage.
I think I can do all of this before I go to bed tonight. Himself thinks we will be eating some of it for tea but he may be disappointed. I’m not sure if i’ll have time to stop to eat.

Definitely the pantsAlso guys I need to ask diabetes nurse on the 8th.i just put in 7units of Humalog and it stung bad worst ever I felt so far. Not sure what's causing it to sting.im sure if it's to do if body is warm. Don't say its the socks or underwear lol. Anyone else get stings when injecting or wat can I do to ease the pain?
@Delticmatt100 . With the introduction of the new finer needles things have improved immeasurably.
Unfortunately even a 4mm needle can feel like a red hot 6 inch nail if it hits the right spot. Nerves I think are the most painful.
Sometimes you hit a capillary, that’s fun too.
As already said. Cold insulin can sting, some insulin’s can be stingy.
Sometimes we have to weigh up the options. A few seconds of “ pain “ ( I prefer discomfort) versus receiving a life saving medication.

I don't, usually. And when I do there is definitely no squeezing involved, it's more a putting 2 fingers beside the needle sort of thing. To my thinking, when you squeeze you leave less room for the insulin.Or wondering if I'm squeezeing my skin too hard pinching the inch as I inject with the shield. Maybe I don't need to pinch. Who else pinches?
