It’s vegan and gluten-free, and contains ground almonds, rose water, toasted pistachios and cardamom (among other things). The flavours are really subtle but delicious, especially the rose water. 😛
@Bloden That sounds absolutely divine! I love rose, ita one of the loveliest flavours. Do you use a specific recipe?
And thank you @Lisa66 I really do! The hba1c chart says it's "less than ideal" but it's like something has shifted for me. One day I might be in the "good" control camp!
Yehay!!! 5.2 at 6am this morning but it was a real struggle getting any blood to appear. Why? I had to have several lancet attempts on different fingers and positions!!! Got there in the end.
Out at 8am to do a little shopping but it looks a bit unpleasant out there right now.
Deciding which garden centre to brave today as I’m in need of planters for new things I picked up on Saturday. One of which is a 4ft tall Cyprus which wasn’t in best condition and I’m hoping will revive with water and some TLC.
Other bits bought were a huge bamboo to give some privacy and dappled shade and a red banana.
I need a low pot for the bamboo as it’s 7ft tall as is but I want a tall planter for the banana to lift the leaves above head height and it’s only about 3ft. (That may not be an affordable option so may need to change plans.) Also picked up a dozen fuchsia of two types, 1/3 bush and 2/3 trailing, to dot in around the place.
Balcony update over.
Oh and tomorrow morning I’ve a video recorded interview with the police so if I’m quiet tomorrow that’s why.
Morning all, 6.7 on this exciting day. We are allowed, at long last, to go down and check our caravan. Not been there for nearly six months and are eager to check everything is ok. We can stay for the day to set it up again, get rid of the moisture traps, salt trays etc and move everything back. Windows open and heating on, run the taps, shower through etc. Sooo excited.
Overcast here at the moment and not too bad but supposed to get colder but being right on the south coast hopefully won’t be too bad. @Gwynn congrats on the HS.
Have a good day all xx
I’ll ask my SIL where she got the recipe. I didn’t make it @Spozkins, hahahaha, my baking skills are non-existent. I find it stressful!😱 But eating cake...that’s very relaxing.😛
Morning all. 7.7 here, but a straight line overnight, instead of a 6mmol drop.
Hubby had the AZ jab last night and is feeling a bit off-colour, so it’s just me and the girls for this morning’s walk. I hope my BG behaves - I usually start dropping and need a juice halfway round. I’m getting near that ‘throw in the towel’ feeling tbh. Let’s hope less Tresiba = less lows!
Morning all, 5.7 here. Glorious day yesterday, visited son’s house for the first time since last summer, to plan his garden and take him some plants I'd divided from some of ours. Weather is all downhill for the rest of the week.
06:25 BS 8.1 😳 Oh dear, going in the wrong direction but, stuck in LR, half breakfast dose & half an oatcake, had another snooze to wake at 07:45 on BS 6.0. Much better!🙂 Just cooked & ate breakfast, with a full dose incidentally if you’re wondering: always a full dose if it’s about 90 minutes after the DP busting dose; I find that’s about the amount of time where BS starts to rise again without food anyway so, DP busting is only ever temporary & any longer than 2/3 hours it’ll be higher than where I started at!🙄😱
I will compromise today & have a lighter meal that’s more substantial than tea & biscuits & have a bit of bolus: mind you I’ll have to guess that bolus; may take a bit of time to guess it correctly so, I’ll keep you all posted! 🙄
A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
It’s a cold grey morning & I thought that, for once, Easter ISN’T our best weather as it normally is but, I’m being a tad bit unfair as the weekend from Friday to Sunday was lovely! 😎😛 It COULD well still prove to be our best weather yet this summer & turn into a washed out rainy weather as it usually is for us after Easter? 🙄
Morning all. A 7 for me. Think I overdone the bedtime snack, was 5.6 at 11pm so had a slice of toast, 13grms of carbs.
Lovely sunny morning after yesterday’s dismal and very cold day. It’s going to be cold but not as windy. Thank goodness for small mercies. No big plans on this bank holiday. I’m just counting the days down now until 14th April and I can ( all being well) get my mop of hair cut! I don’t do long hair! Have a good day whatever you’re all up to. Sounds like we all need to wrap up warm though. 🙂
Congratulations @Gwynn on your HS. @SueEK have a good day down at the caravan.
Well a scan at 05:45 said 7.3 so I had a Lift, come 06:47 scan saying 4.7 and finger prick saying 4.4! Didn't feel that low at all, 3 Lifts and 1u for breakfast so fully expect to be high come dinner time, I did however start shaking about 10 minutes after the 3 Lifts, delayed response or what! 🙄
