Me too. I saw a snippet of him talking about how it was possible to reverse NAFLD using diet when GPs were saying that it was not possible to treat it. That put me onto the idea of low carb eating. His was a great contribution to the treatment of diabetes.Such sad news today, I am so sorry for his family and friends. Dr Moseley was the first to wake me up to the idea that conventional diets were not the only way.
Thank you for your well wishes, I'll tell Tale tomorrow that some English lady we don't really know hopes he'll feel better soon!@Antje77 very best of luck for tomorrow! I used to get up at 5am to commute to the city before the traffic built up, so went to bed at 8pm (I'm a 9 hour a night gal). Takes a bit of getting used to but I sometimes revert to that schedule now and enjoy an early start to the day. Poor Tale, I hope both of you feel much better soon!
Bloke is fully appropriate! A lot of people say that, it must be the way I type - I'm also not a girly girl, I'm a frumpy fat old bat who speaks her mind, competently uses power tools and doesn't take any guff but I always try to be kindThank you for your well wishes, I'll tell Tale tomorrow that some English lady we don't really know hopes he'll feel better soon!
I really like the internet for things like this, but I mostly only realise it when I relay forum stuff to friends outside the forum.
I also assumed you were a bloke*, not a gal for unknown reasons (all the more ridiculous because of my own rather unclear gender identity), another funny thing about being anonymous on the internet!
No help with the fridge/freezer, but interested in your choice once you made it.
I have a fridge with two freezer drawers, inherited over ten years ago from my grandparents, and it wasn't new by any means at the time. Might be time for something newer.
(*come in, @LivingLightly and @Annb . Things are never not about language, so did I guess correctly with using the word bloke in reply to gal or is it not wrong but also not quite right? I like trying out new words but I'm never sure if I use them correctly.
Also on that note, @MrsA2 , thank you for the new word 'foid'. I had to look it up and I like it! Apparently it's an Old Irish verb which currently has some less savoury associations in slang, but I love the original meaning.)
If you're using the word "gal", then "bloke" is perfectly appropriate. Both a bit slangy but perfectly OK in the context. Foid is a new one on me as well. Sounds as though it's meant to be offensive - if you're not talking about a firearms license.Thank you for your well wishes, I'll tell Tale tomorrow that some English lady we don't really know hopes he'll feel better soon!

In that context @Antje77, bloke is appropriate IMO.Thank you for your well wishes, I'll tell Tale tomorrow that some English lady we don't really know hopes he'll feel better soon!

In my life, food can be a very good way to remember people we've lost in a 'soft' way (I wish I had the language here). For me, it can be like having an unexpected 'hello', those small surprising visits of memories may be the most meaningful.Tonight's meal was built around a fabulous picanha. It was utterly fabulous, thanks to the skill of the in-house cooking magician (i.e., not me!).
Lovely as it was it was tinged with a little sadness and thoughts of Goonergal, for whom picanha was manna from heaven.
And a hug for the food memories, how lovely.@Annb , foid is apparently Old Irish for spending the night together, and I'm confident it was used in a completely supportive sense, we're at the safest nook of the internet after all!
Never too old to learn a new word.
@jpscloud , I love frumpy fat old bats using power tools, no matter their gender!
I love frumpy fat old bats not using power tools as well by the way. Or skinny old bats, young frumpy bats, fashionable fat old bats, I don't care as long as people try to be kind.
Glad I got the idiom right though!

My parents, lost friends, even my dog sometimes say hello in this way. It hurts, but usually in a good way.
Totally with you have felt very sad about his tragic death. He was one of the first mainstream Drs who brought to the public's attention that diabetes type 2 could be put in remission by diet.Such sad news today, I am so sorry for his family and friends. Dr Mosley was the first to wake me up to the idea that conventional diets were not the only way.
Good luck tomorrowHungry, not hungry, hungry but not feeling like eating anything, don't I just love a covid infection.
With my first day of real work starting tomorrow at 7 am (i.e. middle of the night for me) I told myself to quit the whinging and eat, so I did.
Slice of low carb bread with endive, a burger, smoked ham for lack of bacon, which was surprisingly good, and a mayonnaise based sauce I made over a week ago.
Looked still good, smelled good, tasted good, and only after eating I remembered the covid.I'll likely survive the dubious sauce though.
I managed to eat about 2/3, good enough for me and the dogs were happy with the rest.
Next task: Try to go to bed at 9:30...
Not sure if this is realistic, it's 4 hours earlier than usual. But the covid may actually help here, bed sounds pretty good.
Neighbour Tale came by to ask for a covid test, at work they didn't believe he's ill and blamed the beer at the festival.

It will be great, I'm sure! If you have trouble getting to sleep could you try breathing exercises? It works for me.Yikes, with all this apprehension about starting a job, I more or less forgot about having diabetes.
I have absolutely no idea on what is expected. I'll need my phone,my meter, and quick acting glucose in my immediate vicinity, I may need to eat at odd times, and I have no idea what the job will involve.
On the up side, my alarm will go off less than 7 hours from now, and panic kicking in now and not 3 days ago is an absolute win!
So.
There.
I'll be fine!
You need winner as well for dealing with the blues (or greys!) so well! 10 years is a good life for a fridge freezer nowadays, they don't make them like they used to! Mine is over 10 years old but has been acting up for a few years now.Late today I've been cleaning out my fridge freezer amongst other boring but needed jobs today! @jpscloud mines a Bosch frost free but freezer drawers are behind a door. I've had about 10 years and it does the job well. Think grey weather plus a lot of the depressing news has made me a bit less bouncy today. I did deliberately plan a theatre outing for our wedding anniversary in a month or so to see Hamilton which is on in Birmingham this Summer - need a few treats planned I think.
Breakfast kefir then bacon and egg
Lunch kimchi, cheese and LC crackers
Dinner cold chicken and salad with a few of my freezer new potato chips cooked in goose fat followed by a few strawberries and hm yoghurt.
It's a new one to me too @Antje77 . Sorry to disappoint but probably a typo for food. You should know not to trust my typing by nowAlso on that note, @MrsA2 , thank you for the new word 'foid'. I had to look it up and I like it! Apparently it's an Old Irish verb which currently has some less savoury associations in slang, but I love the original meaning.)

I know about your typing and eyesight, but I still love that it taught us a wonderful Old Irish word!It's a new one to me too @Antje77 . Sorry to disappoint but probably a typo for food. You should know not to trust my typing by now
HiyaYou need winner as well for dealing with the blues (or greys!) so well! 10 years is a good life for a fridge freezer nowadays, they don't make them like they used to! Mine is over 10 years old but has been acting up for a few years now.
How do you prepare the new potato chips for the freezer? They sound great, I really miss chips.
