Oooh that reminds me of Winchester a number of years ago when we went walking behind the cathedral and met all these kids in uniforms going to school on a Saturday morning. It was the first I'd heard of it outside of France I think.
No idea how widespread Saturday schooling is.
I secured a scholarship to a really decent public school but didn’t go because I didn’t want to go to school on Saturday!
Absolutely point blank refused to go.
6.1 for me this morning. Nothing planned for the day at all so maybe whip up a batch of low carb chocolate cheesecake brownies and head out for a long walk (with the intention of being here for the Zoom call this afternoon)!
Morning all,
A 6.3 this morning, must get back in the fives...
Mrs Snowwy has her flu jab this morning 8:40 am would you believe!
Just as well I am an early riser 🙂 and taxi driver.
I applied for a Contour meter at the beginning of the year which turned up months ago, decided I'd finally compare it last night aat bed time, not too bad considering I couldv'e got far more varying results from the same meter, will see how the other 9 strips compare and possibly consider asking to be switched strips as the Contour is far more compact and easier to handle size wise
Anyways I think we're in agreement that its a 5.4 today, away to get breakfast and a cuppy made then the heating will be getting switched on!
Have a nice day folks and wrap up warm if your going out today!

130g butter
200g erythritol
80g unsweetened cocoa

70g almond flour/ground almonds
Dollops of cream cheese added to the batter once it’s in the tray
Sprinkle of sea salt after it’s out of the oven
Makes 16 brownies and they’re roughly 2g net carbs a piece
Morning all. 6.8 again, that’s even with a unexpected tough 10 mile walk yesterday which I spent fighting off hypos, then roast chicken, small jacket potato and salad for tea! It’ll all come out in the wash no doubt today. Got very wet and muddy yesterday, my walking trews are a sight to behold. Hoping I can brush the knee high mud off now they’re dry! Off over the border into Cornwall today, a more gentle walk around Bude. Cream tea maybe? Have a sunny Sunday.🙂
That’s better @Michael12421. How are you feeling?
I think it’s probably time for you to give yourself a proper diabetes education, so that you can self-manage with confidence. My new DN sent me the link to the Bertie course - www.bertieonline.org.uk - so that I could refresh my skills. I found it extremely useful! 🙂
On the subject of Saturday education.... when I went to University we had, in the first year, four full days of lectures and half days on Wednesday and Saturday. All evenings and Sundays were needed to write stuff up, prepare reports and the like. When I hear about current students getting a few hours "face to face" a week contact it makes me wonder what they are getting into vast debt for.
It’s always my turn. My wife chooses to carry on working and in return for the treats (eg Lexus) it buys us I make sure she doesn’t lift a finger around the house. I’m doing a batch cook today of beef curry.
What culinary delight are you making today Martin?
