Group 7-day waking average?

We’re off to the Algarve, a bit of winter sunshine. It’s a place we’ve visited many times, we used to just go to relax but now we explore. Use the local buses and go inland and visit the local markets

We used to go for October half term when the kids were primary school age, so I’m talking 20-25 years ago! It was a difficult time in my life, and I used to arrive with my jaw clenched with stress, but a couple of days walking on the beach and I just relaxed and let the peace and relaxation wash over me. We went to Albuferia the first time, then three times to Praia do Vau, which is the quiet end of Praia da Rocha. The first time we did a jeep safari up through the cork oak forests, and were all standing up in the back of the jeep, and stopped at a reservoir for a swim. We repeated it a couple of years later and discovered elf and safely had caught up, deffo sitting down with seat belts on at all times, and no wild swimming! Still enjoyable, though.

Good morning everyone! 5.6 today and nice and steady all overnight. Second attempt to get Covid Autumn booster this afternoon - fingers crossed! Hope everyone has a good day.

Success! We both have now had our Moderna autumn boosters this afternoon! Almost makes up for the wasted 3 hours queueing to no avail yesterday!

We’re staying in Albufeira. Did try Villamora once in October half term and it rained every single day! We decided to drive to Seville one day and it was raining even harder! Still enjoyed it though. We like old town Albufeira the best. We love the cobbled narrow streets and finding back street restaurants. We’re staying about 10 minutes walk away from the town this year in a lovely apartment in the new (ish) marina. The coastline, in our opinion, is the best of all the places we’ve visited.

I think I've used Brie in the past when Reblochon hasn't been available.

We love Tavira which is right on the eastern end of the Algarve. Last time (a year ago) we hired a car and went exploring inland which was fun. Had an especialy good lunch and wine tasting at Quinta da Tor where you could have a swim in their beautiful infinity pool. However it's in the middle of nowhere and probably not accessible by public transport. Hoping you'll have a brilliant time and looking forward to hearing about it.

I fancy Tavira but is the opposite end to where we’re going. I’ve looked at the buses to get there and it takes quite a long time and was very costly. We contemplated hiring a car, we usually do, but it was very expensive and we wouldn’t get the full use of it as we’ve been most places already, although I’d like another look at Lagos. We may look at picking up a car for a couple of days from Albufeira. We’ll see how things go. We’ll wing it!

Would the train be any cheaper? There's a very good train service.

That sounds delicious. I used Chaource cheese, far too ripe for me but I couldn’t get Reblouchon in Tesco. In the past I’ve used Camembert and Salut? Something like that, and it was perfectly acceptable. I always feel something is missing so that chicken version sounds just the ticket. I’ll be trying that.
We’re off to the Algarve, a bit of winter sunshine. It’s a place we’ve visited many times, we used to just go to relax but now we explore. Use the local buses and go inland and visit the local markets. Looking forward to getting some nice fresh fish this time as we’re going self catering instead of a hotel. We love the coast line and will walk for miles, as long as it’s not too hot.

Hope you feel better soon, it all sounds pretty rubbish. I sympathise with the shoulder situation, mine are useless especially my left one. I jarred it a few weeks ago closing the car door and I can barely reach up or outwards without pain. Might need another visit to osteopath for acupuncture, but in the meantime hoping a bit of warmth will help.

Do you find anything helps with your shoulders, mine are agony in bed, painkillers, voltorol gel, devil's claw gel, nothing seems to help. They are Ok during the day, but it is at night they give me jip. I even bought a special pillow but it doesn't help.
 
00:40 BS 8.2 🙂 Better! Tresiba +2 is starting to come through!:D

It’s silly ‘o clock & a Very Good Morning to you all, coming up for you NORMAL lot, & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

About an hour or so since I got up to watch the strictly results on iPlayer in bed completely horizontal which means the most minimal DP as long as it’s not over 2 or 3 hours, in which case it starts to rise at my normal rate of 1mmol/hour! So, that really is pretty much my waking BS. It WILL start to rise now, though as my stomach has woken up now & will have ramen for breakfast! 😛 Will try 44NR again, better lower reading, & see what happens?:confused:
 
Morning all. 9.4.
Went wild and had a Chinese take away last night. Clearly that went well 🙄.On the positive side, it did force me to take a nap which turned into a proper sleep :D
I'm libre free so back to a lot of guessing and shrugging. Considered grabbing another sensor but realistically, can't maintain doing that so need to draw a line somewhere. Didn't hear back from DSN yet re getting it on script.

Hope you all have a fabby day
 
Good morning. A 4.8 this morning for me!

Probably another futile day trying to get some software working on a new piece of hardware. So far no luck, even after a week of liaising with the chip designers.
 
Good morning everyone

BG 5.4 here
BP 117/77
Pulse 62

Arms still ache after the jabs

Today nothing planned. Rest.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Morning all. 6.5 for me. Reduced basal by half a unit last night. Its dark and cool this morning and the start of another mad week. I need to get a wriggle on, will catch up with you all later.
 
Good morning Monday
a respectable 5.5 today

I have my eye appointment at DMO clinic late this afternoon think I’m getting both eyes injected again today, it will be interesting to see if they think one of my eyes is as bad as specsavers thought it looked on Friday, new specs expected in two weeks.

Have a Great Day Everybody 😎
 
Did a fair amount of writing at various points yesterday as things were rattling around in my head and I wanted to get them out and on paper. Then segued into reading and amongst other things was reading some of the lower carb cook books that sit on my kitchen bookshelf.
Threw together a lovely beanless chilli and then followed that with a rhubarb and ginger crumble. With custard of course.
So quite happy with 6.3 this morning!

Got some admin type stuff to do this morning and then working this afternoon.

Have a good day folks!
 
Well 10.4 I was might check my second correction after but didn't wake up(gas a feeling it might not work for reasons) first one did bring it down a little bit but didn't do it but not as much as expected) I'm sure I'll get things settled again sooner or a letter hopefully sooner I do have have an appointment with my diabetes nurse today so I can digress things.
 
Morning all, 10.2 here! Was feeling rough yesterday evening, and by bedtime my head felt stuffed with cotton wool and I was shivery and achey. Feel a bit better this morning, but my blood glucose went up to 10 at bedtime and stayed in a steady line all night. Will do an LFT when I get up, and I need to send OH shopping, we’re just back fro hol and I’ve nothing in the house, AND i’ve got my boosters arranged at the local surgery tomorrow. They aren’t doing any more clinics, so I shall have to drive into Oxford for the Covid if I have to cancel them. (local pharmacy will do my flu jab).
 
Good moaning! After a dreadful night 11..8. I woke feeling cold at 1:00 am, and put a sweater on and had a cupoa. A few minutes after I went back to bed the phantom pain struck. Last I remember it was 4:15 and I was thinking of taking another pain killer. Have a headache and am totally pee'd off! ☹️
 
Good morning. Quite chilly today but dry. BG 6.3. Got a very sore trachea - maybe a reaction to the jabs? Nothing planned except a run to the tip with some of the rubbish evicted from the workshop. Ah the wild excitement of country dwelling.
