So am now on Week 3, Day 6 of mounjaro and last night I added in my first gym visit too. All good habits hopefully stacking up.

I will admit I’m looking forward to going up a dose after tomorrow’s last jab of 2.5mg.

So I am now on a potentially controversial path. I have T2 diabetes & other weight-related health problems; long story short, I’ve just taken my 2nd dose of the Mounjaro injection.

So far I am genuinely loving it and feel the benefits already, even on the starting dose - 4lb off in my first week.

Melting chocolate WITH water against every instinct turned into practically effortless chocolate mousse thanks to Bee Wilson’s The Secret Of Cooking. And I added a drop of orange extract to the water, so chocolate orange mousse 😋

A baker’s dozen years ago I had a go at a Swiss roll and it…did not go well. Today I tried it again for the first time and I am very proud of how it’s come out! Might have to have a crack at a Yule Log in a few weeks 👀

Baking day 🥖 🍰 🍪

Born and brought up in Durham yet only today discovered Leonard’s Coffee House in Fowlers Yard. What a beautiful little place. Also, I am assured, the best bacon sandwich ever. My sourdough toastie (with smoked cheese and onion marmalade) was delicious.

Post-hospital appointment treat at Flower Cafe in Newcastle, fast (too fast!) becoming a regular spot for us 🍰 ☕️

Flower Cafe in Newcastle today. Absolutely gorgeous, and felt like a real treat.

Hot chocolate, cappuccino and flat white, with raspberry cream cake, carrot and cream (a patisserie take on carrot cake) and a delicious and decadent vegan salted caramel cake

Durham here!

Back to work today. Lots of book layouts to get stuck into!

Luckily being back home means I get my lovely coffee machines back. Kicking today off with filter 🤩

Is there a better way to start a holiday?
