What have you been doing today?

Discovered an issue for me with the 7. My recipes are all metric and the 7 is set at oz and pounds. It hasn’t been an issue with the 6 as the scales haven’t worked for years. I’ve used digital scales when cooking. I believe I can change the 7 but don’t know if this translates to the recipes. I will not have time to test it out until Sunday.

Chookie I can weigh in grams? Is that what you meant?

Yes, my 7 is set on oz and pounds. This is fine for Cookidoo but not my recipes which are metric.

Maybe the country you have set it up on is England UK . It would be in your settings. Same with TM6 . You can change it each time put you would want to do that . I managed another batch of appointments! Two fasting bloods and an MIR of my elbow arm that has been giving me a lot of grief! But is so much better . Saw DD and we went out to Dinner and breakfast . Did a bit of clothes shopping.

It was my birthday yesterday and the family came to visit including one of our GD who I had not seen for a while.

Today DH decided to prune one of the hydrangeas with the hedge trimmer    I smiled and said nothing, just thankful that I don't have to do it.

Happy Birthday Mab. Great to see family.
Yesterday had dear friends for lunch. Brought a relative who is the producer for Master Chef. The ricotta cake I made was awful. We smothered it with Mandarin marmalade and cream. She bought me a SD starter which is said to be 100 years old.
Today, my DD is dropping me off in Melbourne while she goes paddling some where. We will meet for lunch.

Happy birthday Mab.  Hope your recovery is progressing well.

I'm not sure exactly where you live so not sure whether  you can answer my question.  How do your hydrangeas get on in your climate - we are in a semi desert type climate - very hot in summer and several days freezing overnight.  Is a hydrangea sturdy enough to cope with those extremes?

Your story also reminded me of something that happened to our friends when I was very young.  The dad was Irish so he, DW and  young daughter went over to visit family at one stage (this would have been in the 60s or early 70s so a visit from NZ to Ireland was a very special event).  They had a flourishing couple of hydrangeas at home and, when they got to Ireland the family they were staying with proudly showed them their very precious hydrangea - daughter quickly deflated them when she helpfully advised that they had lots of these plants and they were growing like weeds.  Very embarrassing for her mum and dad!
