Yes bonkers isn’t it? I think perhaps they thought nobody would notice it then, and as it would have disappeared by the morning they’d be none the wiser.
2 am for a check?
Grandpuppy? Please don't say you use fur babygrandpuppy Tonka (would have preferred a grandchild)
Welcome back @shelley262. These are indeed trying times. I can empathise with the caring and I am thankful I don't have to deal with it during the covid crisis.Hi all and big thank you to @zauberflote for setting this up for us to have a chat when we have time. I love the idea but am often time poor but I’m going to try and contribute.
Funny day today as decided to put on a new sensor - I haven’t had one since early summer as until lockdown the pool was open for 45 mins swimming sessions and probably a bit long for the sensor so decided to put one on during enforced pool closure. I was keen to get it on my arm in a less likely to be knocked position and thought hadfound a good place but was clearly right above a vein I produced so much blood that I could have filled one of those tubes for private blood testing! It was everywhere! It’s also not stuck as well as I’d like because of the blood under the sensor. It’s stayed on though so will see.
I’ve missed you guys while I’ve been away from forum.i have read entries when I could as great to feel in touch. My life as a carer has just been too complex and time consuming mainly because of my autistic adult son who is not very safe just now and needs lots of input to make sure that he stays safe. It’s been a very worrying time not helped by needing to do lots of care visits to mum.lockdown though means mums 2nd operation is delayed so I’m at home again until the call comes re the date.shes well though and first eye operation a great success would all be easier if she didn’t live 128 miles away from us.
Thinking of you all and looking forward to reading your news welcome back to England @SlimLizzy btw.
Our poor gym never even got as far as opening again. Boys have been lucky enough to get back to swimming lessons (on Sundays) as their pool is in a school but nothing much is open here. I read today that the SNP are probably having a tombola to decide who'll be locked down next. It certainly isn't any scientific reason.Good idea I’ve got some sticky stuff left that I used to use but in summer when short sleeves on think it looks odd , but as wearing long sleeves just now it would be practical. Swimming not likely to be happening though while I’m wearing this sensor thanks to BJ closing our pools down for a month so will put patch on to keep it secure. Thank you for reminder.
Loving the wee "socks" and Cooper & Dennis get cuter by the day.@shelley262 and @DJC3 2 doggie pics

Totally agree. I was astonished at the consideration for Star Baker yesterday. I'd never heard of Sussex Pond Pudding before.No spoilers from me. I don’t think this batch of bakers are as accomplished as in previous years - did you see the complete hash they all made of brownies? My 7 yo granddaughter can make brownies! I’m quite happy that they are a bit more amateurish this time though, makes it seem more attainable somehow.

I see @Annb the islands got a slight relaxation but still not fully what it should be. I meant to ask you too, is your granddaughter and new great granddaughter back and settled from Aberdeen and, have you been able to see the baby?

@DJC3 similar situation to your niece. He got notification to isolate while he was at work and had to go straight home.
He did not have a test at any time.
The disruption and distress he felt and still feels has had a massive impact on him. He is understandably angry about the whole situation.
He is in a vulnerable state anyway, having had a recent relationship breakdown, which has led to a relocation. Now he is in a town where he knows nobody, tasked with improving staff performance and productivity. Which ofc means most of them are resenting the new procedures he has brought in.I think people are already feeling mentally very fragile at the moment so these blips are just exacerbating the anxiety.
Re GBBO, looks like Dessert Week is available online now, so I will abstain from this thread until I've watched to prevent spoilers
So happy just watching carbs doesn't make me go high!
Yes, completely unfair, no matter if it was chicken or egg!Until a few years ago, I used to have really severe migraines (related to problems with blood sugar, I'm pretty sure). I did realise that, if I ate sugary things, the migraines were exacerbated. So, that was when I stopped eating sweet foods. I loved Mars bars (childhood memories) but steadfastly denied myself them. Then the night came when I dreamed of eating a Mars bar - and woke up with a dreadful migraine! I always thought, "it's so unfair, I didn't even have to do it - just dream it, and I still got the migraine!" Probably a question of chicken and egg - was the migraine in the offing and I had the dream to explain it, or did I react to the dream?
I have ordered some but they seem to only weigh 65 gms each and my 2 slices of skinny bread work out at 75 gms with the slicer set to the widest. I sense bitter disappointment on the horizon which won't offset any hint of eggs or palm oil guilt. Still, I live in hope. I guess even being quite petite for a man, IMHO - 6 foot and 73/74 kgs - my idea of portion size is still very different to many here.There is a lot of eating in the rolls - that's what I like about them. I order rolls and bread at the same time as the delivery is not cheap either. I have to say sometimes I don't like frozen food very much but these taste just as nice once they have been frozen and de-frosted as they do fresh.
Phew! Worried for a second there.@DJC3 I agree about swede mashed with butter and pepper - how did that happen? Then I read white pepper which I can’t stand so normal service resumed. .
