You deserve your wine. Is the s
Enjoy your wine you’re in sunny Cornwall. I love the place in any season. All that girly making things is fascinating after having two boys who mostly acted out the superhero of the day in costume of course!
happy annivversary johnpol for tomorrow enjoy your meal

Given the low fbg and provided hangovers are not regular, I would think the Marmite on artisan bread would be fine. The point seems to me to be low carb eating as the norm not a straight jacket. (Not advocating dropping WOE so no need for the LCHF Salem Witch protocols to be implemented)

So far they’ve made me an anklet and a lumpy sort of ring ( the 5yo hasn’t quite got the hang of them yet!). I expect to be fully adorned in them by the end of the month.
Haha isn’t it strange that little girls and boys are so completely different?

Thank you 22yrs feels like yesterday when we tied the knot. So looking forward to the meal.happy annivversary johnpol for tomorrow enjoy your meal
What sort of food do they serve?
I think if I’d had one slice I’d have ended up scoffing the whole loaf. Then apart from being cross with myself, my daughter would have been very cross with me too. Sometimes total abstinence is easier.

Sometimes total abstinence is easier Than others apparently.

Yes the irony is not lost on me. I’ll never touch another drop, honest!

Hi everyone,
Today's fasting blood sugar was 5.1.
Apparently it's my dad's veins in his legs that aren't working well, they ran more tests (the blood is getting down to his legs but has trouble getting back up.) They can't put in stents because they are so small (unlike the arteries). They gave him cream to put on his feet (the skin has split) and he'll be wearing compression stockings when the skin on his feet heals. The foot of his bed has been raised up above his heart. I'll be taking him for more tests at the hospital in 2 weeks. My niece who is a newly graduated RN will be checking in on him often.
My mom (who has early to mid Alzheimer's) was fine when I told her, she remembered about his legs and was "high functioning"when I visited. She also told me that his dad (her father-in-law) told her many years ago (when they were first married) that there were circulation problems in old age in his family. Although I take stuff she tells me with a grain of salt (because of the Alzheimer's), she will tell me things in the distant past that I've never heard before and often they turn out to be accurate. It's strange how with her Alzheimer's I'm hearing more things about her early life and when she first met my dad.
