What made your day a good one?

[Smiffy]

I think you’re doctor is saying… stay away from seed oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, sugar and carbs, that turn into fat.

What he did say, I was a bit surprised, exercise has very little effect on your weight.

I have put the frying pan and sunflower oil away which has been good for me and cut right back on the carbs and cheese.

I have little or no sugar apart from one day a week when it is a bag of licorice allsorts, that part where it says 'Sharing Bag' is a typo.

It is them carbs. I’ve been being mindful of carb content. I do have a sweet tooth and I’ve been rationing them. My bloods came back with high cholesterol, but that I’d hope by now has gone down, another blood test in Feb apparently.

Also forgot… Stay away from ultra processed foods as well. Ultra processed foods isn’t real food.

The traffic lights on food in the U.K. are always a fairly good guide.

Eat meat and beans, drink unsweetened ice tea.

I am listening to the hymn Amazing Grace. The writer, John Newton, had once been a captain of slave ships. I read a book to self-educate about slave ships but cannot remember the title.

When I would play this hymn on my fiddle in nursing homes and assisted living residences, it was so familiar everyone, even those suffering from dementia would respond. I recall one lady sitting in a wheel care who never responded otherwise, lifted her hands as others sang. "
"Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home."

Contacted EE/BT Broadband to get shot of our landline, it’s never used by us dialling out and all we get is idiots ringing up for the local hospital or trying to sell us something. Ended up with £20 off and BT TV.

It always pays to complain; the bigger the company, the bigger the reward.

Just love it when the entitled are placed underfoot.

And I was thinking he should look much happier being marooned on an island with those three.

This is sound advice. I’ve done it. It gets a bit boring after a few days but it’s not unhealthy and a great option when incorporated into a more rounded long term menu.

This was 1957 and 10 years before such things had been invented.

I don't know if you have access to a movie library but if you like such films then this is fun, very English however with restrictions on what is socially acceptable.
