Oh WOW! @ColinUK What an amazing birthday tea! Such a shame there was no one to help you with all that lovely grub. The cake looks amazing cut into.... very uniform! And congrats on a great morning reading after such a feast! Just shows that if we want to make the effort it is possible to really enjoy low carb.... (I know @NotWorriedAtAll is expert in that field... but great to see others like yourself being inspirational)

I am just making a low carb trifle. Not following a recipe.... just some berries and sugar free jelly and a chocolate microwave mug cake that I couldn't find a recipe for so made it up as I went along from what I had. This will be my first attempt at real custard..... Don't know where I have been all my life but Bird's was just so quick and easy. Got plenty of eggs now the girls have started laying again, even if they are tiddlers.... 2 pullets eggs are about equivalent to a large egg, so my custard is going to use up a canny few!

It did, it was lovely..not what i was expecting at all. Even when it started to fade it looked a nice colour. She's got red and black now.

Go for it @rebrascora! One of my girls dyed her hair. She told me it was green 😱 . When i saw it the top layer was black, underneath it was teal. Looked really nice. I'm not brave enough for bright colours.

I wanted to go for green as it is my favourite colour but both my best friends said "NO WAY" Apparently no one looks good with green hair, even the most beautiful girls in Australia.... according to my mate there. This bright colour thing is totally out of character for me as I am usually quite conservative but I think it is all part of this feeling of wanting to change and push boundaries and definitely better than doing a Lady Godiva or dancing around a bonfire naked.... and I can just lop it off with the scissors if it really is a mess. The black over teal sounds gorgeous but not sure I would manage to do that myself and no sign of a hairdressers appointment any time soon and even if they were open, they will be too busy catching up with regular customers to take on a new client.... and then it would be difficult for me to decide where to go after so many years (decades even!! 😱 ) of not using a hairdresser! Goodness knows I could probably do with a good professional cut, but I almost feel like this last year has been a real hair do leveler and now everyone looks as untidy as I always do.
 
I’m back from “the jab”. It was very well organised, professional yet relaxed. Notwithstanding all the things we moan about we’re very privileged to live in a 1st World country.

A very healthy 5.2 from a snowy -10 Deg north Germany, dog is loving the snow until he gets the ice balls in the fur around his feet but as soon as he's thawed out he's banging on the door to get out again.
Have a great day everyone!!

Hi @Gruers yes same as me, paracetamol seems to help. Felt rough 1day and 2 nights. There is an app called C-19 by Zoe which you can record how you feel and feeds back to Kings College and other scientists. Might be worth a look. I do feel better today, had mine Thursday afternoon.

How about a really bright red? Like the one off strictly, just can't remember her name! It would fade to a pinky colour. Nice? I can understand you wanting to change things and push yourself....go for it!! Show us a photo when its done
 
Zoom tea this afternoon with my bonkers family.

I have quite a ruddy complexion so I wasn't too keen on the idea of reds/pinks although I think Dianne Buswell looks great with her bright red locks. Purples, greens and golden colours look good on me clothes wise. I once bleached my hair and hated it golden blond though.... even more so when I come across the odd bit of photographic evidence of that error of judgement!!

Diane from Strictly. Funnily enough daughter no:2 has just coloured her hair pink after years and years of being black. She’s 33. She had to bleach it first. She sent me a photo yesterday and my first thought was she looks like Diane off Strictly. It makes her look quite different but I like it, I would imagine it’s a pain to keep up with though. She’s furloughed at the minute so plenty of time on her hands!

Lovely if interesting camoflage photo @eggyg! Doesn't exactly highlight her new hair colour!! It seems to be the least vibrant pink in the photo!
