That is so disappointing.
That is so disappointing.We had agreed to meet up at a deer park called Whitworth Hall (family home of the Shafto family - Bobby Shafto went to sea) on Christmas Eve. Ah well.
ThanksWow, that's a colourful illustration for a children's book, love it. Sorry about nightmare but good result for the art. Glad you told us it was from a nightmare or we might have thought it might be a combination of any drugs, even a 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds' moment.
“ I ate biscuits yesterday” - a great first sentence for a book. Reminds me of that first line in A Christmas Carol - “Marley was dead, to begin with.”
Big hug for the incident of the croc in the nighttime but what a great result in art form, so vivid, when can we have the three blind mice?
Simples. Just use a photo of Johnson and any 2 members of his cabinet.
Three Blind Mice....I shall have to see...
Unfortunately no suggestions as I love the bitter taste of Montezuma chocolate but it does sound as though making hot chocolate with it and SF syrup just might work.No pressure on me then! I agree it is a very acquired taste neat. Any suggestions on how to alleviate the hideous taste of Montezumas - as hot chocolate with some SF syrup maybe?
Thank you.Great list of foods you now enjoy and your whole journey from being on insulin to where you are today is amazing and shows how this woe can work. One of my targets/performance objectives is to affirm those who are part of Unwin's (David not Stanley) 45-50%. You are in the top tier of those.
You are so lucky to be able to have the occasional indulgence with only a rise in blood sugars.
If I indulged in anything that contains wheat or sugar I am very quickly rewarded with severe acid reflux - which sometimes is accompanied by vomiting. Then I have to endure a sleepless night of severe acid reflux.
It sort of puts you off indulging. It is almost as though my body is conspiring against me. I never get acid reflex at any other time and this never happened to me before I went low carb and cut out wheat and sugar. It is a real puzzle why it happens now.
Still there is no need to feel too sorry for me as I do enjoy a lot of foods that were not allowed on my previous low fat high carb diet. Cream in my coffee, mushrooms filled with melted stilton cheese, veggies cooked in butter, avocados, lots of different nuts and seeds, full fat Greek Yogurt etc. etc. The list is endless. One of the highlights is no more cottage cheese - ever again.

5.8 fbs. I ate really late last night which always gives higher numbers.
It looks like we may have sunshine today. Am mulling over whether it will be better to stay on Zoom after Christmas because cases are rocketing in Norfolk and I am pretty sure we will move into tier 3 mid January.
Humour is the only way to deal with it on the day to day level.I think judging by the pics of the london diaspora..tier 4 is everybody's next stop.
"Pass tier 3, do not collect £200", I think it goes on the board game.
Zoom zoom zoom into the new year, and beyond .....(Buzz light-year.. allegedly.)
Yep but never mind we can do zoom calls.That is so disappointing.
Yes, you're right. Actually that is exactly what we are doing this year. Thank goodness for Zoom.Yep but never mind we can do zoom calls.
Reversing the 'cool colours recede ' advice really works in your picture. I really love it.good evening all
4.8 today
along with many others I've indulged myself todaymy particular vice was testing the truffles I was trying to make for after Christmas dinner. I had spotted a silicon heart shaped sweetie mould tray in the charity shop so I thought I'd have a go
The filling is a mixture of a small amount of christmas pudding whizzed up and mixed with rum, melted 95% dark chocolate and double cream sweetened a bit with some truvia and I lined the moulds with dark chocolate marbled with a tiny bit of ordinary white chocolate then filled them. A bit fiddly but they look posh and the filling is
We don't go to stage 4 lockdown until Boxing Day so in theory we should be alright for shopping until then (if there is any stock left) got most things already though thankfully
I'm a bit worried about this week though, the minister of the church almost opposite our home died last Thursday and his funeral will be on Christmas Eve, because he'd been moderator of the assembly there will probably be some 'incomers' from other areas. Normally the whole village would attend but presumably not at this time.
Hope your day is treating you well
@dunelm - creative use of paper, I like your treeand that park activity may be as social as we get for the next few weeks. I concur about the need to ensure continuity of the coffee supply
@Muddy Cyclist - and the dilemmas ramp up again, I'm glad you managed to get your carolling in whilst feeling secure, I used to love doing charity carol concerts and visits
@gennepher - well done you for 'turning' your dream and using it creatively in your artwork today. I like the colours in the background effect and that colour really offsets the 'gore' and makes it 'pop'
Art bit - I do admire people who can turn the usual 'cool colours recede' advice on it's head and make it work. This is my version based on an image I saw on the net.
