After the Fete:


A fantastic evening, 510 people fed and a packed dance floor from the start.
I love the way everyone joins in from toddlers to great grandparents with every age group in between cluding the hard to please teens. We did a fair amount of dancing though OH’ s legs were a bit stiff after the run in the morning.
As for blood glucose levels, I ate the melon , missed out on the charcuterie, bloused before the green salad , chicken and a bit of bread, ate the cheese but declined the flan. Because it was a relatively low carb , meal my bolus worked out at 3.2u. Even so, I probably over estimated a bit as was down at 3.8mmol (68.4mg/dl) when I got home. The red wine probably played a part. A cup of coffee and a biscuit called a fouree framboise. (a bit like a jaffa cake with raspberry jam and dark choc) This did the trick and my fasting level next morning was 4.4mmol (79.8mg/dl).
Clearing up
Next morning was the clearing up. About 35 volunteers did all the cleaning down, humping and dumping of chairs and tables necessary. By midi everything was ready for a meal of ‘restes’.. leftovers. There was a great debate as to the quality of the pate and the jambon this year.... pate excellent, jambon ‘moyen’. I decided to be on a regime to avoid the extra dish of a ragout made with the chicken livers and gesiers (gizzards) . Other half said they were very good...... but why did he bring home a carefully wrapped package for the cats?
