Its probably just me being overly cautious. I've been told to stay in until 29th so i've taken it literally. The road i live on is quite busy, not with traffic but several people walking, children playing out (because there is no traffic). Its also used as a short cut to get to another road. I've never been on a walk down the road yet when i've not met someone i know. Even when social distancing it would worry me if they stopped to speak. As i said, its more me being TOO overly cautious but i would rather that than put someone at risk, even though i have no symptoms. If i lived somewhere more rural i would definitely be out.

Oh I see the problem, and I did say "without Coming into contact with anyone else" Its a mixed blessing being able to walk out of my house and not see a single person even though there are houses around! No you are not being overly cautious. Thank goodness not long to go till you can get out. At least being outside is pretty safe unless you hug everyone you see x

Good morning elves - that’s your lot for this year. Sorry, gig economy and all that.:D

I woke up with 5.1 after a reasonably straight line overnight, much as I did the day after Christmas, which was fun. Had a great Christmas day watching the Libre while reversing policy - gave myself a hefty dose of Fiasp, then just kept eating goodies till the insulin ran out. Never hit double figures all day.🙂

Don’t try that at home (Health and Safety warning).😉

Isn’t the weather fun? Reminds me of living on the Isle of Mull in a normal winter. There’s actually a dusting of snow on the hills hereabouts, very pretty. Don’t much like the high winds and sideways rain, it plays havoc with the Sky signal. Thank goodness for Netflix and Prime.

Bit concerned at the moment, daughter (who has asthma) is struggling a bit with Covid, and is swallowing shovel loads of steroids. Feeling a lot better, mind, according to today’s report. I used to go high as a kite on high dose steroids for the ulcerative colitis. The only downside was almost doubling the basal insulin. Bolussing wasn’t much of a problem with food just passing through without touching the sides🙂

Anyway, gang, put your feet up and get ready for New Year celebrations. If any, of course - it’s going to be just the same as the old year, with the added bonus of Brexit to make us all poorer. Have fun🙂
 
12:35 BS 7.7🙂 Oops!😳 Completely forgot to check in again yesterday & didn’t take a waking test! I’m currently trying to get my sleeping pattern back after all the lateness, getting later, the Christmas last few days, week TBH!🙄 Midday alarm woke me & I’d just taken my meds & LR when my sister rang me for a post Christmas chat! So, a bit of a delay there before I tasted & posted: knew I had to react fast after alarm otherwise I’d doze off again; why, for once, I tested after, just not so late after but, I didn’t know I was getting a phone call!🙄

I’m also in the midst of a post Christmas naughtiness detox, so to speak, & been a fairly good little angel, food wise anyway & I’ll leave the rest up to your imagination: I wonder now, just WHAT kind/s of naughtiness do YOU think I’ve been up to; I put it like THAT as it reveals much more about YOUR psyche than it does about MINE! 🙄:D😎😉

A Very Good Day to you all mates & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Edited to add:- Oh yes! Haven’t read any posts yet & will catch up later!
 
Morning all, looks like I’m the first day. 7.7 today, going up and up!! Back to work today so can’t linger. Have a good day all xx
 
6.1 for me. I’m slowly clambering back on the wagon.
 
4.9 this morning. First time below 5 for a while. It is so odd that if I am outside my target range (between 5 and 6) I feel quite disappointed and yet I know that at other times during the day it is very likely to be higher or lower and that doesn't seem to bother me. It's an irrational disappointment. After all, 4.9 is ok. It might be a part of my usual worrying self. I must get a grip.
 
Morning all and a hat trick today. Yet another 6.8! And I never touched the Quality Street, hardly! 😉 Up and out early doors today, into the Lakes today for our Twixmas walk and before we’re all put into Tier 4 tomorrow. We’re walking the new Keswick to Threlkeld trail which reopened four weeks ago after being destroyed by Desmond in 2015. Apparently according to the masses of photos on my FB page, it’s busy! Touch wood they’ve all done it by now and we get a peaceful walk. Hah! Who am I kidding? See you tomoz, Judgement Day. 😱
 
Morning all,
A 5.5 after struggling with all over the place reading and difficulty getting blood!
Did try to warm hands up under the tap but was having none of it!
Left it for a bit and here we are...
No snow as yet, I need a topup! :D

Blessings Snowwy
 
5.3 for me this morning and no JBs needed overnight so I'm very happy with that. I ate late 11pm (low carb .. bacon and cauliflower cheese ... so no bolus) and walked earlier 8pm and did a slightly shorter route of about 5 miles but the first 1.5 miles is all straight up a steep hill so it is a good workout.
My TIR has also hit 95% for this week which is my highest ever score, so I feel like I am getting to grips with using the Fiasp now and being single is giving me the time and space to get to grips with my diabetes management, so there are positives to everything.
 
4.7 for me this morning. 🙂
Looks very icy outside at the moment 😱 - so no walk for me until later.

Stay safe and well.

Dez
 
Morning all, 7.5 here, Woke up in the middle of a stress dream. Haven’t got anything to be stressed about, really, so no idea why I was having one, but it was a relief to wake up and discover I hadn’t got to sit my History A level, for which I hadn’t revised! (in real life, many years ago, I got an A for it! Don’t know why it's haunted me ever since, but it’s always my 'go to' stress dream)
 
4.2 today, back to work this afternoon so should ease the cabin fever.
 
Morning

7.7 today, that was after 2 Lifts for a 6.8 on waking, looks like the Tresiba adjustments are finally having an effect! Was safer to have the Lifts though as went from 9.0 on waking yesterday to 6.2 an hour later before breakfast and I'm not willing to take the risk after daily morning lows for more than a week now!
xx
 
Morning everyone. A disappointing 10.2 for me. Went to bed in 7s so not sure why it went high and stayed there. Need to look at basal again i think.
Have a good day.

I have what I believe is a late 19th century oboe. How difficult is it to restore, or how expensive to have it done? Thx.

I don't know much about oboes except that the mechanism is more complicated than a clarinet. Going by what I was quoted for repadding and springing a sax I would say you'd be looking at many hundreds.
