good evening all
4.6 today
Sunday againlunch at mum's, italian meatballs with lots of cheese
Afters was fruit crumble, I did not manage to resistthe fruit was stuff from mum's (pear) and a neighbours (bramley apple) stewed together sweetened with erythritol.
Topping was a try out at making something LCish crumble looking. I used a mix of ground almond and sunflower seeds, whey protein and erythritol with a bit of wheat gluten added. then made it into a crumble with some butter. Looked good and tasted fine, it was quite light, not exactly crumble but much lower carbit all went anyway. Baked about 10 mins to brown and served with cream (bg 2 hrs later is 4.4 and fingers crossed for tomorrow's fasting bg)
A reflective day, mr gee's dad was in the army during WWII and his mum and dad met because mum was in the land army. the uncle mr gee was named for was killed by a sniper in Italy whilst laying communication cables.
Hope your day is treating you gently
@Cumberland - hello there, nice to see you
@dunelm - a very thought provoking and sensitive piece of art, thank you.
@gennepher - a beautiful and evocative memory beautifully painted, the water and foliage are lovely
@ianpspurs - the way I look at it at least this WOE gives us some level of chance for a measure of control and improvement, beats the alternative
@Muddy Cyclist - What a lovely autumn painting, and thank you for sharing the process stages with us. That foreground foliage is fantastic
art bit -

I'm fine thanks but still the village idiot. Hope you are keeping well. You are sorely missed.
This’ll be the first year in a long time that I won’t be playing the Last Post. I have crystal clear memories of my first year teaching at a really rough local secondary school. Over a thousand children in the school sports hall. The local branch of the British Legion, local Air and Sea Cadet detachments including Standard bearers. And me, standing in the corner with my trumpet. I’d never seen such astonished, engaged and respectful expressions on those children’s faces. It was a much quieter school that day.Stood outside the door for 2 minute silence noticed one other neighbour on the cul de sac did likewise as we waved to acknowledge each other, he is stationed at RAF Spadeadam so kinda expected him to be there
Lest we forget
Good gracious we would never have done that with a corned beef sandwich and I went to a really rough school.This’ll be the first year in a long time that I won’t be playing the Last Post.

There was still half a corned beef sandwich stuck to the Practice Room door when I went to teach though, so I knew I was still in the right place.

Hi Cumberland,Born and bred black red (Dalstonian)
Great to hear from you bumpkin chops
It certainly is. We have been doing this now for 16 years - oldest - then down through our only grandson (11), then 6, then twins at 3 and now our youngest - I wonder how long it will be before she declares, as they always do, that the bedroom is now hers even though they all take the same room when they stay over.What a pleasure it is @dunelm for you and your better half to look after
a young grandchild.
We just have the one grandson who now at 14 has a dark brown voice, but we well remember looking after him for his mum and dad so that they could have a change of scene.

Fabulous trekkie - potentially boldly delivering medical interventions where no delivery system has been before - far more interesting than a tug boat. https://www.engadget.com/researcher...oQagxyAVIg-QXlZoEI2-hFhzVyZKaWwXcEva9KYXhOwAM4.9 this morning and a slight drop in ketones to 1.9 but all is good

@gennepher you really don't have much joy with Amazon. I must be lucky with my zone as they delivered twice yesterday with no problems. I was expecting both orders together but Alexa alerted me to the split and when they arrived. I have DPD rocki ng up today and they have already fixed their 1-hour slot, which leaves the scary delivery to Wed and the dreaded Hermes. Hopefully, you can get a faster resolution this time.
My favourite piece of news today was this, a new frontier
A sad day but hopefully being able to be present in the church and taking part in the service will help for now. Peace be with you all.A long day yesterday at MILs and Daughters house move, did lots ache today.
Some fine art yesterday, impressed as usual by @gennepher @dunelm and @geefull all turned up trumps.
@Cumberland welcome back. We stood outside at MILs bungalow, us, friends helping with furniture removal, daughter and youngest grandaughter and like you not another soul in the Close could be seen. Hope you are doing OK.
Aunties funeral today and our singing bit inside at front of the church, 'To God be the Glory' in 4 parts. Sad day as no socialising to share life stories and remember the 99 year old lady.
BG for me today 6.2
Keep safe.
Yes, Hermes is a nightmare. All the rest have been brilliant.which leaves the scary delivery to Wed and the dreaded Hermes.
