Don't eat much sweet stuff being Diabetic. Took me a couple of months. They seem to be softening me up to go on insulin because my sugar went haywire when we were messing about buying and selling houses. However my recent full blood test at Oldham General said that overall my sugar count was 7.8 which was better than they expected so perhaps I'll be reprieved. I'm not really worried about it because the ones who go on insulin usually say that they feel better than they have for years. The modern pen injection needles are easy to use, you just stick it in your tummy through your shirt.

With pleasure Brian. Nothing complicated Marg. Just assign each one a number, decide what they are Mainstream Jazz , Dixieland, Progressive Jazz, Swing, Bop. Then cross index the artists and later I might try and include solo instrumentalists if it doesn't get too compicated. For exampleWoody herman recorded Bijou which is entirely different than the Bijou of the Stan Kenton Progressive Jazz Orchestra which has a superlative trombone solo.

There are different types of black puddings some even I couldn't stomache. It probably depends on who makes them. Some butchers put large bits of pig fat in them. With this type I usually sort out the bits I don't want and eat the rest. The really nice ones are what I call the Irish recipe. These have cereal, oats or something mixed in and have a drier texture. These last are particularly tasty with lashings of Colman's English mustard and a pint of good English bitter. I bet Brian's salivating.

I have Kodak DC3800 with smart card which can be put into card reader for computer. Had some problems with the reader software but I also have Kodak (Lexmark) Picture maker which takes the card direct (no computer needed) it has a little console where the picture can be manipulated and prints well once you get the hang of it.
