Group 7-day waking average?

Yes I thought the initial idea was you ate a big (tasty but cheap) thing first to fill you up, so that you’d not feel the need to eat so much of the main (expensive/meat) part of the meal?

In one of the James Herriot novels he describes this, as well as his surprise at one family's alternative starter of a vat of rice pudding!

Edit: D'oh, forgot reading yet again - 10.1
Seems to confirm that a sensible portion of ice cream does not screw up my BG.

5.5 on another bright and sunny Berkshire morning and the forecast says we're in for a week of dry, sunny and hot weather with temperatures hitting the mid-80s. It's already mid-70s after a sticky night. Shorts and a T-shirt today, I think.

My wife and her sister have arrived safely at their cousin's place just outside Harrisburg, PA. They'd booked Business Class rail tickets (Business Class on a train?) as it's a 7-hour journey from Boston, via Philadelphia. Comfy seats and loads of leg room she said. I expect we'll link up via WhatsApp later. Our eldest and his girlfriend are flying back from Rhodes today but they have a late flight so he's staying at her place in London tonight and getting an early train in the morning as he's back at work tomorrow.

Brilliant final in the World Cup of Darts last night, with Northern Ireland winning 10-9, but gutted that Wales lost out. More pre-Wimbledon tennis to watch this week. The grass court season is my favourite part of the tennis calendar.

Breakfast this morning will include fresh raspberries from the garden, and it looks like we'll get a bumper crop of blackberries this year too. We've never been able to manage to grow strawberries, though.

Congrats on todays HS @Lisa65

Hope everyone has a good start to the week.

Blueberries are pretty easy though they prefer acid soil but you can either grow in pots or put plenty of an ericaceous compost in your planting hole, then feed with ericaceous fertiliser. There are varieties which will ripen at different times to spread the crop but they freeze well. I have about 12 plants in a long bed at the allotment and they produce enough to keep me going for breakfast nearly all year. Ours no where near ripe yet but strawberries are good and Tayberries just starting to show colour but redcurrants are ripening well. No raspberries yet and rhubarb still good. Our first picking of peas yesterday.
