What a beautiful idea..
So a friend from Germany is getting married today! Another one of her friends decided to collect friends from all over the world (who she has met so far in her life) to make a book of treats for her to make! I thought I would share mine below as the big day is now here!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu Ihrer Hochzeit!
Banana Loaf (A.k.a
Bananenbrot)
If you have any bananas that might be going mushy don’t
throw them away! Make a banana bread to share and enjoy with friends and a cup
of coffee!

Post Fun a day - May the fun continue for the rest of the year
5-7
Just a quick snap of my efforts : Fun a Day exhibition 2014.
(The breakdown: Pricking your finger can be frustrating but put that into your daily
routine a recommended “6 times a day” can be somewhat trying. With the
opportunity of Fun a Day I wanted to make this process a more enjoyable
requirement but I couldn’t even manage that!
With my measly 54
test strips from over 31days (an average of 1.7 tests a day) my average
level came to 13.02. (a normal average being between 4-7).
If
nothing else, I have learnt that my control in my hands (quite
literally) and aim to improve the amount of finger pricks I make)
