We use coloured chopping boards in the kitchen to prevent cross contamination. Red for raw meat, yellow for cooked meat, blue for fish - you get the idea. White is for bread. But what to do if you’re STARVING and the white board’s in the dishwasher?
Right, I’ve just decided that bread rolls are officially root vegetables. Anyone have a problem with that? Good.

Lorna has been jabbing things into her fingers at strategic times of day. The reason for this is that her blood glucose tolerance test returned a very slightly higher result than expected so she has to monitor it until the hospital says she can stop. The fact that the results obtained from these tests have been absolutely normal is reassuring, but may not be enough to keep the hospital happy.
Since my usual working practice is to run about like a battery powered toy and then fall over, she suggested I try it. I wasn’t keen - sticking needles in myself, particularly when I didn’t have to, wasn’t my idea of fun. But it’s worth noting that when I sliced my finger on the top of the shower screen support in Room 5 while cleaning this morning, the first thing I looked for was not the first aid kit, but Lorna with her little machine. My blood glucose was 4.7 which is neither unusually high or unusually low. Good.
What was less good, was that today, after breakfast, I had to do the cleaning since it’s Shirley’s day off. Only four rooms and I was done by 1.30, but I was running on willpower rather than blood glucose by the end. Fortunately there was time for a much needed sleep this afternoon.
And we have 10 guests tonight some of whom, no doubt, will want dinner. I’d better get going…
