Michael Jackson broke my internet by sadly dying on Silverback's birthday (and Silverback and I had a great lunch at the Wellington on 25th).
Today I ate:
muesli
salad with leaves, avocado, tomatoes, red peppers, croutons
two slices of wholemeal bread with no-added-sugar raspberry jam
three digestive biscuits
fish and chips!! (Large fish but not too many chips)
half a melon
apple
orange
Verdict: Some good, some bad!

And I ate:
muesli
three fresh apricots
large lump of white cabbage
quite a lot of raw peas
three slices of cinnamon and raisin bread
rump steak, fried onions, peas, oven chips
large bowl of strawberries and evaporated milk
Verdict: pretty good, I didn't eat anything that I'm too ashamed of! But then I didn't seem quite so hungry as usual!

Filming a Video and Watching Films
This morning I filmed a video to help train cancer consultants - interesting and, I hope, useful. And this evening I watched "Bolt" and a Bill Bailey session - enjoyed them both very much.
I haven't written this blog for a few days as I went to Oxford with Silverback to visit my friend in hospital.
But today I ate:
muesli
baguette with cheese and ham
an apple
three shortbread biscuits
a large chunk of white cabbage
a tomato
another apple
chicken fried rice with bamboo shoots and water chestnuts
Verdict: Not good - - could be worse but NOT GOOD.

Vanstallation in Holmfirth
It was a sunny day today and Mum and I went to Holmfirth this morning to see an art exhibition including a Vanstallation - - like an installation with vans - - -
And I ate:
muesli
a butternut squash muffin (sounds hideous but it was delicious)
a fresh salmon sandwich in brown bread with cucumber and a bit of salad
with chips
lamb steak, new potatoes, peas
a bowl of strawberries with evaporated milk
Verdict: Not as much fruit and veg as usual but the good news is that, although I had my Gliclazide tablet, I haven't seemed to be as starving today - - or indeed for the past few days. Perhaps I'm getting used to it at long last - - I hope so!

Art Market and Meeting
I've missed a few days of this blog partly because of Gareth coming out of hospital - - I just seemed busy with other things.
I had a great steak in London on Thursday, a really enjoyable Chinese takeaway of an assorted appetiser on Friday and yesterday I had lunch at a cafe, Timoney's - - roast beef sandwich with onions and really great chips.
But back to today:
muesli (sugar free Alpen)
banana
apple
two slices of wholemeal toast and butter with a boiled egg
three digestive biscuits
four small sausages and some baked beans
a large slice of fruit tart with confectioner's custard (NOOOOOOOOOO!)
an orange
some fresh peas (I love these!)
a large chunk of white cabbage
Verdict: Fruit tart is NOT one of your five a day, Daphne! Apart from that, not too bad.

muesli
a large lump of raw white cabbage
two raw carrots
two slices of wholemeal bread and jam
two lemon and raisin pancakes (small!)
fish fingers, oven chips and peas
an apple
strawberries and evaporated milk
an orange
Verdict: Again, fine on the fruit and veg - - too much fat and sugar. I let my blood sugar get too low before lunch and hence ate too much.
