CaptainHaddock - "one-hundred-and-eighty"! I've never managed that before. It's a long time since I've played darts and from what I can recall, the most I got was about 120 from three darts. Getting all three darts to hit the board was an achievement!

ONE HUNDRED AND AYYYYYTIE! Excellent Captain. I have only done that once - about 40 years ago in a doubles match and the first words I heard were my partner criticising me for leaving him to finish from 7 (which he did)
Good luck with the diet Hodd.

Thanks Sao and Alpine, I’m normal weight but trying a few things healthwise. I’m not going to go super low carb or keto, but I’d like to restrict carbs and only eat nutritional carbs in things like almonds or vegetables. I don’t think bread, for example, offers any nutritional benefit and is packed with refined carbs - a nightmare for blood sugar. I was surprised to crave bread a few times this week, but we’re all used to cravings and know they’re temporary. And just like quitting booze, a diet has to be something sustainable. I can now make a mean omelette 🙂

I bulked up a curry with chickpeas. Then I saw they’re 60% carbs. I’ll try lentils next time. I’m not sure I’d like cauliflower rice!

I made cauliflower rice and was not too bad, not too much flavor so I added different spices.

Captain, well done! I remember that commentator on the telly and his drawn out 180! Sao, you brought it back to mind!
Alpine, a late congratulations on 2 years! 👏🎉
I'm attending my nephew in law's 50th birthday bash at the lake today. I'm bringing my own beverages and won't stay too long. It's a pity that it's overcast with rain later, otherwise I'd swim.
Least, my late husband had the same problem with Parkinson's meds. It's not easy. I hope it gets sorted before long.

Runner, congratulations on your 600 days! That's wonderful.
Mags, glad to hear your allergies are under control.
Haven't seen Peke. Hope she's ok.
I get really low blood sugar and I'll drink sugary drinks sometimes to bring it back up. I don't like sugary things much per say, but I drink too many sugar sodas lately. I never drank them before and wasn't raised on them, so I don't know why I am drinking them now. That is something I need to work on for sure. My dentist almost had a heart attack when I told him I was drinking sugar sodas. Even after 6+ years of being sober, I still do get cravings for sugar and certain chocolate once in a while.
Glad to be going into the weekend sober.
Have a great day all!
