Good morning everyone.

All good

I didn't get to fix the rocket yesterday as I could not find any suitable glue.

But I did manage to make a stuffed marrow (stuffed with mince) for tea. It wasn't very nice. A big disappointment after all the effort I had put in. Mince was good. Marrow was yuk. I felt bad about all the energy I had wasted too.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing. 🙂

I find marrows are just too watery to have much flavour. You could try covering with salt and leaving for a few hours then some of the water will come out, then you can rinse and pat dry then bake in the oven.
 
Morning all... beautiful blue sky and sun. Forecast is good all day.

9.2 at 8:30 and it had seemingly been rising all night. I don't understand it as it was a flat line the night before and I hadn't done anything significantly different. Anyway, now, after a small correction it's 6.4

@Robin - I know, how the heck do I know if someone nearby is vulnerable? I'm symptom free, have been since Weds, but have decided not to go into town to meet friends today as I am still testing positive. Hubby is off having his flu jab... I should have been too, but it strikes me the Dr's surgery is exactly the place you would encounter the vulnerable!

@Gwynn my mum always served marrow in a very peppery white sauce and I liked it like that, but hubby hates it so we haven't had it for years.

@eggyg lovely B/W photo. This afternoon's task is to sort out the 700+ photos we took on holiday, to find ones to put in the 100 page photobook I have ordered.

@ColinUK glad to hear the cold is abating.

@Lanny have a lovely lunch with your nephew.

Alll the rest have a good day.

I’ve put one of Mr Eggy’s arty farty B&W photos on today as I think it’s rather good. He’s a clever lad really even he does read at a snails pace compared to me! 😉

It still looks HOT, even in black n white. Phew!!! <wiping sweat from brow emoji> Glad to hear your stomach’s behaving.


Enjoy your lunch @Lanny.

@eggyr We have thousands of photographs, you know those prints of pictures taken on various holidays which you always think you will remember where they are but sadly 20 plus years later you don't.
To keep or not to keep that is the burning question.
 
Morning

I was 10.0 before breakfast of a Blueberry Muffin

Also had a few sips of lager last night off Bruce xx
 
Did it a bit late in terms of actually being up, but before eating anything, today and 5.9. Now to have brunch, though possibly a more lunch like one - soup, coleslaw and a small piece of homemade cheesy bread and butter pudding!
 
9.8 the first time I woke up which was very disappointing. I reduced my Levemir by one unit last night after the hypos of the previous evening and having danced and sang the night away last night at the theatre. Feet are still complaining about dancing in heels and ears still ringing... Oh and voice still hoarse... or it would be if I had anyone to speak to.... so must have been a good night! Had a very late low carb meal when I eventually got in the house and had intended not to bolus for it but then levels started rising, so chucked a couple of units at it as I went to bed on 7.2 with an upward sloping arrow and ate a spoon of peanut butter with a quarter square of dark choc because I fancied something sweet but also to soak up a bit of the 2 units.
Anyway, I injected 2.5 units of Fiasp on waking and went back to sleep and woke up the next time on a slightly better 7.1 a whopping 4 hours later!!! That was some lie in!!... but then I didn't get to bed till 2am. Hit it with another 5 units of Fiasp (an extra 1.5 on top of usual breakfast bolus) and it is still resisting coming down much. I have given up waiting and eaten breakfast just before noon! Have a feeling it may be a frustrating afternoon D wise.

Don't understand how you guys got Wordle in 2 and 3 today when it isn't even an "English" spelling! I managed 4 and only got it because there was no other option for the first letter left that even remotely resembled a word.

4 for me, too, with no other option for the middle letter by that stage. OH took 6. Son did it in 2, but he conceded having seen mine, that he’d have tried one of my words first if he’d only seen it!
 
4 here too. Agree that it is US spelling
 
Awww! 😛 Had a lovely breakfast, for me, at Grounds coffee shop, a local chain of them in NI in case you haven’t heard of them, at 11:00 & too early for lunch so, had a very American breakfast, for the first time, of pancakes with bacon & maple syrup with a caramel, pity they’d run out of cinnamon syrup, latte! I treated myself for a special occasion & chatted for 2 hours! Feel wiped out now & a bit breathless: talking uses a lot of breath; going to rest, or doze a bit, in bed now! They’re off for a walk & go wedding ring shopping: he lost his ring just recently as it’s a match to his wife’s rose gold one which is softer; took it off in the gym lifting weights & didn’t want to mark it!🙄😱 I’m going to be having a new grand niece soon at the end of January: around Chinese New Year; could be another Rabbit in the family; we have 4 of them already & if this is one it’ll be Rabbit number 5?:D

They were here for 6 days already & flying back to Manchester tomorrow so, VERY PLEASED to see them! 😛

The American breakfast was nice too & no idea of the bolus but, went conservative with 50NR because the latte alone would need about 20! I’m not too fussed about it & deal with highs now at home that risk going hypo while out especially with a 2 hour chat intermittently eating so, I’m not even going to test until after active NR: never eaten SO slowly before! 🙄:confused: Tresiba & meds just in now a bit late around 13:15 & if I dose off before 3pm, active NR, I’ll deal with whatever BS is later after waking?🙄

All these grand nephews & nieces are making me feel OLD! 🙄:D😉:rofl:

We've got a great pile of old-fashioned albums with fast fading prints in them. Gone are the days of buying a film with 12/20/36 exposures and having them developed though. Now we can take unlimited digital photos. I have most of ours stored on DVD but recently have been doing photobooks like this one https://img.grouponcdn.com/deal/2a5H3822JFvfNKdUJsrjNSeF6tMM/2a-1500x900/v1/c870x524.webp You just upload the photos you want to use and arrange them on the pages before your book is professionally printed. You can get cheap deals via Groupon.

@Lanny, so pleased to hear you had a great time!

I had two grandchildren at your age! Now that really does make you feel old!
My youngest son-in-law ( now 31) is a great uncle and has been since he was 29! His sister is almost 20 years older than him.
