Group 7-day waking average?

This is the West End of London. Junction into Tottenham Court Rd. There will be CCTV but it’s whether the police have the capacity to follow it up.
I’m assuming they will as there is a traffic camera facing the location but with reduced numbers of officers it’s hard to know where this will fit on the scale of response.

One of my neighbours was victim of a hit n run in our village. The driver mounted the kerb, hit her from behind and sent her flying, then drove off. She said the police were quite useless (I'm paraphrasing), but him indoors said the same as you - they just don't have the resources. I hope they get the fool (paraphrasing again!). How are your injuries today?
 
Afternoon all. A 4.8 for me this morning. The weather is lovely and so far this holiday, we've been out all day every day. I'm currently sitting in the sun overlooking a beautiful bay, the tide is in and the sea is calm and blue with little boats bobbing about. Its so peaceful sitting here, i wish i lived by the sea permanently, its so calming.

@ColinUK what a horrible thing to happen! I hope you recover from your injuries soon the police find out who the driver is
 
I started to post this morning but got sidetracked tracked catching up on posts!!

5.4 this morning. Enjoying just sitting and doing absolutely nothing !

Have a good rest of the day

Take it easy @ColinUK

Painful.
Areas on arm and back are very tender so getting showered and dressed was a pain. Literally.
I got to the office by cab as didn’t really want to work from home today and I’ll get a cab home later probably.
I’m dosed up on painkillers and my ankle is clearly quite swollen.
Mentally I’m still a bit battered but that’s more to do with the mental side of the physical injuries I think.

I’ll recover though.
 
G'day all. Lovely again. Just issued the weather warnings though so have to be careful. 7.1 for me today. Pleased with that. 🙂 Have a good day all.
 
Sorry been away for quite a time
Must let you know I eventually got PSV license back from DVLA in June.
National Express still covering their backside and putting me through medical and Occupational Health.
I feel like a performing dolphin catching ball and tossing it back through their hoop.
Working on a Libre and finger prick for DVLA as for large vehicles DVLA do not accept Libre.
Time in Target is somewhere above 80% most days and average BG in the 7’s.
 
I’ve lasted a full day in the office and now I’m debating whether I deserve ice cream or just painkillers and bed.

Have ice cream, then painkillers and bed.
 
Good morning 6.9 today

have a great day everybody 😎
 
Good morning. Nice and chilly but forecast is to slow roast later so off to let Wolf out, top up the hens, check the Gs, and do a quick sort out of the hydroponics before retreating behind drawn curtains. I used to quite enjoy the heat but these days anything over 20 degrees and a cool bedroom with a book calls insistently. Had a busy day yesterday with visitors wanting free advice followed by wet chaos with 3 of us convincing 40kgs of dog that he really would enjoy a bath. Gave in to the heat thereafter and ate far too much ice cream which doubtless accounts for todays score: 6.1. Must try and get diet under control but heat, heart and discomfort making me lose enthusiasm for a high protein diet.
 
Morning all. A much better and back to normal 6.8. My graph looks more like a wiggly worm rather than an European mountain range!

Busy day ahead, firstly dentist, haven’t been since November 2019! Eventually plucked up the courage to be almost in kissing distance with a stranger back in about March. Rang up in anticipation of an appointment in a month or so, two at the most! Here we are five months later! This is a private dentist so I can’t imagine how long I would have had to wait to see an NHS one! Then onto Tesco for the bits I can’t get in Aldi, home for a quick lunch then back out to visit a friend who has broken her pelvis, stupid freak accident, she fell over whilst dragging her clothes airer back into the house. Ouch! Her husband has dementia and can’t help and is very confused about it all, luckily they have two daughters, both teachers so off work at the moment, to help. She sounds in a bad way, can’t sleep or shower, is on morphine and has been given a zimmer to help her get about. She’s very, very house proud and smart, always immaculate, makeup, hair done. I wouldn’t be surprised if she cancels with some excuse even though we’re known each other 30 years ( our youngest daughters are best friends) I know she’ll be embarrassed even though I have told her I don’t care. We’ll see. I feel quite helpless and have offered help, but she says it’s all in hand. I’m going to take cake, that makes everything feel better doesn’t it?

Have a great day, it’s going to be hotter so take care. @TinaD I’m with you, twenty is plenty! 😎
 
Morning all, 6.6 here, though I was down to 4.9 at 2am. I also see from the graph that I had a huge compression dip at one point. It’s either the sensor, or where I've placed it, or dehydration in the hot weather, but my overnights have sent me from 0% to 8% below target since I started the new sensor last Friday. I hate it when a sensor ruins my time in range, luckily I haven't got any clinic appointments coming up. An experienced clinician will agree that it’s most likely the sensor, not me, but I’ve had some zealous interns that have almost fainted at the sight of the red line!

After more than 2 years living in the UK I've decided I should find a dentist here and not waste precious holiday time going to my old dentist in Spain. Asked about the NHS first, just to know. The lady said the waiting list is more than 2 years 😳 so private it is...
 
6.4 after ice cream, painkillers and a sleeping tablet.
117/76
69 pulse so everything’s a little up on normal but that’s not surprising with the torment I’ve put my body through.

Ankle still swollen and very tight, but everything feels slightly easier this morning I’m pleased to say.
 
Woke up, ate porridge and berries, then 20 mins later realised I hadnt taken a reading, it was 6.1 - 20 mins after eating, not sure what that is considered, is it before or after eating as I dont know the time it takes for the glucose/insulin to be released after eating. Anyway I am happy with 6.1 whatever as its lower than all other readings I have taken since being diagnosed (with 19.4 on 29th June)

Today I am working solo as everyone else seems to have taken the same day as annual leave, I dont really mind as being busy makes the day go faster.

My daughter and her boyfriend are off to Greece in a couple of days and I am looking forward to having some peace. I love them both dearly (both live with me) but to know when I go into a room it will be exactly as I left it, (meaning no empty loo rolls in the toilet, no washing up on the side unless its mine etc)

I was up late last night, or rather early this morning chatting online to my middle son (the one that got married in July) we were discussing the cost of living crisis and have decided to have a frugal christmas this year to help him and my older son as both have mortgages and are struggling with fuel costs etc, which is worrying as my son and his wife are both band 8a NHS so if they are scared about the impending costs then what about people who are on lower incomes (like me 🙂) - seriously though I worked out with the increase to the cap mentioned from January, my 140 a month will become 350 a month for fuel (2 bed maisonette) I ordered a clothes airer today (so not to have to use the tumble dryer) also ordered some torches from Amazon as apparently 4 days of blackouts are predicted. Sorry to be a gloom merchant but its best to be prepared I guess.

Anyway on that note have a lovely day and enjoy the sunshine x
