What a lovely "present" from your Mum's cousin.
I have lots of early photos (1860s to ca 1920) of OH's family, but few recent ones.
I also have a small collection of my own family (paternal and maternal) from about 1900.
I'd love to have more!

That is a VERY strange diet Sylvia!! :-S
All those ingredients are most pleasant but they just don't fit together to make a pleasurable experience!!! :-0
Let's hope the tests say that you don't have to follow it !!!

Ditch the lamb Sylvs and it sounds nice
Tomorrow I am having a hummus and grated carrot sarni with a few sultanta on for my lunch, I was going to have that today and forgot and since I have thought of nothing else :-(
Linds, you are very lucky to have photos :-D

it was good!! I was just too lazy to wash some lettuce and make a proper salad.
The ideal is not to have any kind of bread except whole grain ..... the problem is the carbohydrate levels which are high and which is converted into sugar in your body..
BUT I love my sandwich for lunch!! I can't balance it with cheese or yoghurt which they suggest ......... so I'm trying other things.
Gins .......... I've always had hummus as a sort of dip ................ scooping it up on bits of pita bread. YUMMY!

The result of the glucose tolerance test was that my levels are a little elevated, not enough to need medication.
A warning, he said!
I have to continue to adjust my diet, cutting out as much sugar as I can, and do more exercise. Try to lose some more weight (I've lost about 2½ lbs since last Thursday) ............... and have another fasting test in about 2 months.
He gave me the requisition for that test, so I can get it done before going to see the doctor.
He also wants me to do a 24 hour bp monitor test, to see whether I am maintaining my bp (with medication) at a reasonable level. He has not been happy that my bp is always higher in the office ........... others have been happy to say "white coat syndrome", but he wants it checked out.
Ah well, he finishes his residency on June 30, then it is "all change" ............. he and others leave and new residents start on July 1. I'll be assigned to someone else.

Today (June 20) is the longest day of the year.
Summer officially arrived late this afternoon.
Dawn arrived some time just after 4 am, and it won't get dark until after 9 pm.
It has actually been a lovely day .......... sunny, blue skies, and warm.
Unfortunately, summer is not going to last .................. clouds over late tomorrow (June 21), and rain on Friday and through the weekend :-(
June is heading to break records for cold and amount of rain .................. and there are threats of potential big flooding as the snows melt and more and more rain falls.

Afternoon all! :-D
I had dusted and hoovered all round, had my brekkie and decided to go for my shower. When I got out, I heard voices.........no....not those sort of voices, but OH talking to someone. Yes....we had a visitor...... :-S
They just had to wait till I had dried my hair and got dressed!! It through me all out so it did!! :-D
Going to see my friend this afternoon. If it stops raining, I'll take her out for a coffee - if it doesn't, we'll clear out another cupboard!!
I absolutely love looking at old photos and am fortunate to have quite a lot but would always like more......so greedy... :-D
Hope you can sort your diet out Sylvs......we're having a ham salad sandwich for lunch followed by yoghurt. :-D
