Group 7-day waking average?

04:49 BS 9.5 after a achey night after flu jab has left my left arm throbbing but, not yet showing signs of swelling: it’s pot luck each year how much or any swelling I get; some years a lot & need ice packs! 🙄o_O

Obviously been up for a while & lost track of time a bit as I’m currently re reading the Anne of Green Gables books from the complete works of L M Montgomery on my kindle: strange place to start but, it’s my favourite of the lot Anne’s House of Dreams; finally marries Gilbert & move to a new home in another village on Prince Edward Island!🙄😳😉 Was inspired to read the books again after watching the latest production on Netflix recently “Anne with an e”: the most unusual take of any film or TV adaptation I’ve seen with loads of characters & stuff NOT in the books; it was enjoyable but, key scenes, from the book, were missing like Gilbert rescuing Anne from a sinking boat on Barry’s Pond!🙄 Nope, the best adaptation, for me, remains Megan Follows in the 1985, Wow! SO kong ago now, mini series that just looked SO visually stunning!😛😎

A bit distracted & late ish greeting from me for a Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉

Thanks friend of @Michael12421. Wishing him a swift recovery!

Morning folks. 🙂 6.2 here. My BG’s all over the place at the mo. Underlying stress or change in wind direction - not sure of the culprit as yet! As yet, LOL, it’s more likely I’ll never know.🙄😉

I don’t know how many films have been made based on The Thirty-Nine Steps, but none that I’ve seen are especially faithful to the book.

I've got into Heathrow that early more than once without a thought for those down below who might have been woken by my flight so I suppose I have no business complaining.

So true!

My father was in a care home close to the M25 and not far from Heathrow (Rickmansworth, no doubt well known to you). His sight and hearing were failing and he was convinced that the sound of traffic from the M25 was planes in & out of LHR. At night he’d imagine the places people were flying to & from.
 
Good morning 3.8 on a very sunny day temperature 22.C inside, if it gets any colder will have to put the heating on.😱:D
Laundry all done and dried start on the rest of the place now,🙄 not much to report today other than CV19 is making its
way down here.😡

So glad @Michael12421 has a good friend who can keep us up to date.😎

Safe journey back home Mr& Mrs @eggyg.🙂

Enjoy your day folks take care stay safe.🙂

Many years ago I spent a year living in a rented house in Hounslow directly under the flight path of planes coming in to land at Heathrow.
Every 90 seconds throughout the day, a plane would pass overhead (seemingly no more than a few hundred feet) and our telly picture would get disturbed. Eventually you stop noticing it.
Went back there just before the lockdown and can't believe I used to tolerate that. I certainly couldn't cope with it now.
 
A little late reporting for duty today but I've been up a while.
A much improved 7.2 for me today.

Last couple of days I've been feeling a lot better. The neuropathic pain is mostly fine throughout the day now but kicks in between 1 am and 4 am which royally buggers up my sleep. My bloods are about 1 mmol/L higher than they should be because I've not been exercising quite as much.

Picking up prescription today for my 100 glucose test strips. Apparently I have to go to Robbie the Robot outside the pharmacy and enter a 6 digit pin code and my prescription falls into a collection box, a bit like a food vending machine. No queueing for me!

Busy skies here this morning, starting at 05:07, for the first time in a while. Managed to doze off again but woken once more just after 6.

I live on the approach to John Lennon, jets are some times as low as 500 feet above my home (I don't actually know why, as they should be at 1000-1500 with the glideslope). Looks cool but you are so used to it you don't even hear it any more.

I have had relatives who're not used to it say that it's incredibly loud and even worrying when the planes come in that low, but I don't even notice the planes they're talking about :D.
 
Morning all,
6.0 after consuming some quality food lovingly prepared by my wife yesterday. Also good to have a visit from my son who never ceases to amaze me how much food he can hoover up in a sitting!
Attempting to start the 'double-sided' jigsaw this weekend in between everything else...

@Michael12421 looking forward to your return to the forum and trust the eyes might be in a bit better shape!

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning you lovely lot

Bruce brought up some goodies on Tuesday to replenish my stock, we have 3 Clubs left from last week, 4 chunky PB kit Kats and 10 rapsberry cake bars to keep me going lol, also need to replenish the insulin in pictured case tonight but it will do the days meals

Anyways it's a 7.0 for me, getting really stuffy during the night as I've had to shut my bedroom window, was shivering every time I climbed into bed and couldn't carry on that way

Have a nice day folks
Xx
 
A 6.1 for me :(. Maybe the smallish portion of pasta last night?

The latest “circuit breaker” has forced the cancellation of our weekend away for my wife’s birthday in a couple of weeks, so we’re going out for lunch today.
 
5.7

One week to 1/2 term!

Have a lovely day @eggyg

best wishes for a good day for everyone else.
 
Morning all on this wedding eve. A 6.9 at 6.30 although I have been downstairs since 4.50 and awake since 3.30! We’re a bit on edge incase Lancashire goes into Tier 3 and it kicks in tonight. The wedding can go ahead still, with up to 15 guests but no reception is allowed! 😱 Fish and chips on the prom it is then! All socially distanced and in our own bubbles. It was always going to be a “ different” wedding but at least we were going to get fed some proper food, inside! Ah well, I’m sure we’ll make the most of it. If you don’t hear from me tomorrow don’t worry. I’ll be doing that! TGIF!🙂
 
Morning all. A surprising 9 this morning but with a downward trend. Had flu jab yesterday, could that affect it?
@Kaylz your treat stock is amazing
@HenryBennett enjoy your lunch
@eggyg i hope everything goes well tomorrow, enjoy yourselves
@Bexlee i'm on thr countdown too, its been a reeeeally long term.
Have a good day folks x
