My grandfather used to send home parcels (crates really) from the front during the war with a label on “Captain Dwyer’s Laundry” - He was the quartermaster of the Yorkshire Regiment. One such parcel had a parachute amongst the contents. My mother recalls her and her sisters all wearing new silk dresses on Easter Monday parade that year.Easter egg hunt sounds good @Muddy Cyclist but fbg seems to be troubling you. Don't sweat the small stuff, it will come good. This being a standard modern house with postage stamp garden no Easter egg hunt here as it is waste of time. Great fun in the old country. Anyone else have the Easter tradition of new clothes or the birds would poo on ya? No, just my granddad's sense of humour then but just in case I do observe that.
Interesting. My grandfather was ex-military, China, India, Dunkirk.

Oakland...never go to Oakland. I was speaking at Berkeley Uni and took a wrong turning...went a little over a stop line and a dude battered the car roof with his fists... shouting "go back to your own @#£&@# country... " I did the next day
@jaylee Strangely, the mother in law hasn't been seen in a while ... Only joking, but it might be described as a heart felt wish lol.
Last heard saying to Lauren (MrsBRS) "Why on earth did you marry him"...
I didn't hear the answer, thankfully!
Whilst I completely agree with your attitude to the method and deplore the lack of thought for her care team. I can see the reasons. Others I have met articulated a variety of reasons . Calling them excuses is judgemental. Common one is I couldn't do that. If it was Carnivore, or even high fat, or nothing, I'd say me too. A high red meat diet will always challenge me and I'll fail - purely on taste and texture. If T2 is progressive why go to all that trouble? is also quite common. I'm taking medication so it will be ok is another. A more subtle one comes from those who read around a little and see the remission rate from lc is 40% ish? (on a generous interpretation of remission) then say why bother with those odds? As with COVID vaccination refusal, there are some who will never be reached. Hate the sin, love the sinner seems to be all one can do. We're in a little bubble of believers here the world outside is quite sceptical.Took Arthur for a gallop around the undulating hills of Bath this morning and bumped into someone I hadn't seen for ages.
Turns out she is diabetic too, been diagnosed for a couple of years. Asked her how she's managing and the answer floored me. " I eat what I want and if I overdo it, I just dose up on Metformin or other tabs".
The stupidity not to mention disrespect for the care team who will be doing their best blew my brain...
I told MrsBRS and she rolled her eyes until they almost stuck...
Have to admit MrsBRS cheats a bit and we get them planted in from a guy she's dealt with for years and there's heating elements in the ground. I get to do some tidying and she tinkers with the rest...I have to admit, if don't do the "green finger" stuff.
I mostly deal with the "hardware" & the hedge maintenance & grass..
Spring seems to have sprung early in your neck of the woods.
I got a few budding leafs, but not much happening with our shrubs, just yet..
Thank you @Muddy CyclistQuick and meaningful art. Happy Easter to your good self.

I did clean the decking
We are really lucky that we are 'in the know ' and also have the good sense to actually do something about it. Unfortunately not everyone is so lucky.Took Arthur for a gallop around the undulating hills of Bath this morning and bumped into someone I hadn't seen for ages.

I haven't seen the episode, but I'm in a cold sweat nonetheless...We are really lucky that we are 'in the know ' and also have the good sense to actually do something about it. Unfortunately not everyone is so lucky.
Maybe when your acquaintance starts to get side effects from her current regime she will research alternative ways to manage T2D.
I did have rather a wicked thought. Maybe you could send her the link to the Panorama programme on diabetes that aired a few years ago. I must admit it was harrowing viewing and I am still traumatised by the foot amputation section - especially as I was moving at breakneck speed towards that outcome - no matter how much insulin I injected.
I now get great joy from knowing that I am now at low risk and the neuropathy in that foot has completely disappeared.
And the very same to you! It's blue as blue can be and nice in the big yellow ball making a rare guest appearance!Good afternoon and a Happy Easter to you all. (No fbs test this morning. No point as I woke with a good old fashioned sneezy cold so it's bound to be even higher than usual). Have a lovely day whatever you choose to do and make the most of this lovely sunshine.
Thats it,
Finished up in Sandford in Florida one night when we were travelling around birding, was a bit concerned about the red Mazda MX6 we were travelling around in but they probably thought we were part of the scene ..that was a bad place..the motel was being used as a brothel and drug centre.
D.
Is that the place outside Orlando with an airport the charters aim for?
I was in Jacksonville once, with a colleague many moons ago who worked for Sun in Milpitas funnily enough when Java was the thaaang and this dude sits besides us with a toothpick in his teeth and whispered menicingly "you ain't from here are ya"...
U S of A is a country of stark contrasts and it's not getting any better
