Goedemorgen, mijn vrolijke band van diabetische superman en wondervrouw. I bought myself a unicycle of all things. Yes folks a unicycle. After riding around my garden at 4.00am this morning I am currently in A+E and have had 3.5 pints of blood transfused to replace the stuff that is dripping off the rose bushes at the bottom end if my garden. My blood sugars are 3.5mmols by the way. Roll up, roll up for a wonderful Wednesday

Thanks so much for the recipe @Granny_grump_ . It really does sound delicious -- will probably try it this weekend, but need to find a substitute for some of the carbier ingredients. Looking forward to trying it.

When we lived in Wigan Smack Barm Pea Wet was grandsons fav. from the chippy and it was a potato fritter in a barm (and barms in Wigan where always about the size of a dinner plate) with mushy peas and we would have chips with it God knows what that would do to blood sugar if I attempted it now.

There was a nice pie shop on the road to Atherton but can't remember now what it was called.
