Morning all. 5.9 on this dry morning. We’ve been promised sunshine, we’ll see. Did my Big Garden Bird Watch ( details on my bird thread, Off the subject) yesterday as it dried off and was calm. Glad it’s done, I get stressed about it! Our dining room is just about finished apart from the curtains haven’t arrived yet. Books on shelves, some china in place, got some other bits and pieces to find places for. I will end up moving it about for a week until I’m satisfied. I’m supposed to be de-cluttering but not finding it easy! We also need pictures for the walls, Mr Eggy on that. Our house is full of his own photos and this room will be no exception, they’re all going to be black and white landscapes. We’re really pleased with it, loving the colour, Mr Eggy has done a grand job yet again. I quite like being married to a perfectionist, even if everything does takes for ever! Have a good day and stay safe. 🙂

Looks lovely!
And judging from the first photo it does seem that Mr Eggy has found his niche!

I don't sleep well and am up by 5:30 every day, tried for an hour nap every afternoon this week but as soon as I've attempted it some idiot neighbour has decided we should all listen to their music 🙄 xx
 
Yesterday I hit 14.1 at tea time, the usual afternoon stress played a factor but also got worked up when my grandad asked me to go to the living room as he had something to tell us, wanted to tell us together, me being me thinks the worst and begins to think there's something wrong with him! I told him to tell me as I had to get on with the cleaning behind him and it was only that he might be moving! He knows I'm a worrier! xx
 
Morning everyone. 6.4 for me.
@eggyg that colour is gorgeous
@ColinUK happy birthday!
Have a good day all
 
Happy Birthday @ColinUK , enjoy your day and your cake x
@Michael12421 how is your friend doing, have you been able to stay in touch? X
@eggyg room looks lovely, just my cup of tea. My hubby is also a perfectionist who takes forever and a day to do things x
@Kaylz maybe grandad will move further away so he can’t ‘pop in’ every day!! Glad your numbers are better xx
Almost forgot 6.6 for me today. Have a good one x

Have you come across the recommendation that you cook the spaghetti (or pasta) al dente, let it cool, then reheat it when ready to serve up? This increases the amount of what's known as resistant starch. Resistant starch can't be digested in the small intestine and as a result it is classified as a type of fibre. It’s formed when starchy foods like potatoes and pasta are cooked then cooled, and there is good evidence that post-prandial glycaemic responses are reduced compared to digestible carbohydrates (source - British Nutrition Foundation).

I have bolognese with pasta but I use a 40g portion of wholegrain pasta. I cook it beforehand, stick it in the fridge for a while, then just let it stand in boiled water for 2 or 3 minutes before serving.

Good morning all - 5.1 this morning.

Had 4.8 before bed last night. Need to keep an eye on these low figures !

Have a great day everyone 🙂
 
Morning all. Really cold and windy here. 7.5 @ 6.53 for me.

DUK keep asking me to enable push notifications, I keep saying yes, it carries on asking me!

Loving that room and I would really like to have my own perfectionist and with a sense of humour too! @eggyg!

Jelly babies versus fruit juice. I have run out of jelly babies and they are not sold in Spain. Had to eat the last 4 yesterday as I had a 'nasty' moment. I am having to think of carrying fruit juice with me on my trips outside and wondered if the juice will work as quickly as JB's do. If it does then how much should I carry? Thanks.
 
4.4 Knock on the door
