Bom dia everyone. Day 8 in the Portuguese household and a 6.6 from Eggy.

Like @freesia I succumbed to a cocktail last night. Just a good old fashioned Pina Colada, full of sugar and pineapple juice. 😳 I had it whilst nibbling some bread and cautiously bolused ( no time for pre bolus) 3 units. Went from 5.6 to 9.6 in 30 minutes. Had 4 more units as we’d ordered our meal by then and it had potatoes in. 30 minutes later 12.7! Ooops! Destroyed any hopes of having my second unicorn day on the bounce.Meal came, didn’t finish it. Came home 9.4. When I went to bed an hour later I’d plummeted to 5.2 ( can’t get one for love nor money when I want to). Held my nerve and I’ve had had a steady night.

Off to Lagos today ( not the one in Nigeria) pronounced Lagosh, a lovely old town but with a modern marina, about 40k away. We’re getting the bus. It’s takes forever but it goes along the coast some of the way and it’s a nice way to see the area. We’ve been before, many years ago but haven’t fully explored it, which we’ll do today. It’s 3.5 kms to the bus station before we even start, all up hill! We’ll get plenty of exercise today.

Have a Happy Monday. 🙂

I’ll leave you with a couple of photos I took whilst exploring yesterday. Oh and one of yesterday’s graph, can you tell when I had the Pina Colada?

I believe this has a special name…

Morning all, 6.7 here, OH is trying to decide if I’ve given him my Covid. He'd definitely got something last night, but says he feels better this morning. I'll get him to do an LFT later. It would be odd if it wasn’t, because he didn’t go anywhere or see anyone, apart from to the shops once, last week.

03:42 BS 7.8 Forgot to post that earlier! 😳

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

I’m about to become VERY distracted again, I’m afraid! 🙄 Remember I said there’s another Chinese drama aired in 2021 with Xu Kai & Bai Lu? I did some checking up & apparently the two started dating after AMA, it didn’t work out & they’re both with other partners now! I THINK, I’m not into celebrity gossip & never have been, but, the drama was recast with a different actress & delayed until August 2022. In the meantime Xu Kai was in another fantasy drama in 2021 Ancient Love Poetry & it’s now released very quickly with full subtitles on youtube & loads of other apps, platforms etc. it has great reviews! So, I’ll be watching that.😛 49 episodes of a similar storyline to The Legends or Zhoa Yoa set in the fantasy kung fu/magic genre, which I’ve discovered has an official name known as the Xianxia genre. It’s also, available on Amazon Prime but, it’s free on youtube, with ads, & I’m watching it on “myasiantv” website where I watch most of the Chinese dramas without ads: I HATE the constant ads on youtube! To be fair youtube can go upto 1080p, you set the options, & myasiantv is only 720p resolution!

The recast drama Royal Feast is also, to my sheer surprise, JUST been released with full subtitles too even though it had only finished airing but, they’re not as well translated, from the couple of episodes I checked out quickly! It has very mixed reviews: some loving it & some hating it; the recasting & delays MUST have made SOME difference! I’ll watch it next & make up my own mind! 40 episodes of a Ming Dynasty palace drama, the Ming Dynasty built the Forbidden City before being overthrown by the later Qing Dynasty, about a cook in the imperial kitchens that met the crown prince & became his Empress after he became the Emperor! The consensus is that there’s too much emphasis on cooking in this drama! 🙄

I told my nephew that I’ve been watching a lot of Chinese dramas & learnt a lot of Mandarin since 2015 when I didn’t know a word of it! I started practicing speaking it now on the john! I always go now BEFORE washing my hands before testing, run the tap first, as I got tired of washing once & then, washing again in quick succession as the sound of the tap made me want to go! 🙄 I pick two words with opposite meanings & keep saying them aloud until what I say matches what I know it sounds like in my head! It took AGES at first to get them to match but, it’s coming along faster now: just takes practice!🙂

BUT, I found that my Hakka has been a bit affected as I found myself mispronouncing it slightly when talking to my nephew but, he didn’t notice as he said he’s out of practice too, to which I said “to be fair, you’re half Hakka” as his dad isn’t!

Good morning all. Congratulations to @harbottle on the House Special - you will be joining my curmudgeonly list of ""Jammy Bar stewards" along with @MeeTooTeeTwo and several others - you know who you are! Such splendid numbers are avoiding Chez Tina at the moment. BG 6.4 at 0700 today.
Met Office promising mix of sunshine and cloud today but only 5% precipitation chance. Local observation (i.e. quick look at sky) suggests they may be right for once.
Neighbours came up for logs yesterday. Since they hadn't come to help with carting or chain sawing up I made sure they got all the knotty ones which are slow to split....Taras worked until late (despite me telling him firmly not to) on the splitter and the pile is now much reduced so that, with any luck, I can finish the job today.
Scratching my head to know where to store the children's bicycles - if I was certain they were not returning they would be on freecycle in a flash. The irritating things seem always to be in the wrong place or have actively searched out a hose in which to entangle themselves.
Cough and filth from lungs declining so had a reasonable night, pain levels tolerable, looks like a good day in prospect - and I wish everyone on here the same.

Morning folks. 🙂 8.1 here.

A busy few days ahead painting our bedroom. Today’s task: clearing and cleaning. I’m looking forward to losing the original colour - I call it nicotine-custard (the last owners were professional smokers). Hubby won’t allow anything but white “cos the house is too small for colours”...okay, boss.

I hope your OH hasn’t succumbed @Robin.

 

[MeeTooTeeTo]

Well done @harbottle on that House Special.
My reading this morning was 5.8. 🙂

It was 9.5 when I checked at 6.15 I had a biscuit in the night. So gave myself half a unit knowing that most likely creap up at tad. And by time backfast came around it was 8.9.

6.2

Wordle in 3 again this morning.
Cold definitely on the retreat.
Therapy this morning.

Oh and happened to run the washer/dryer on a different setting to normal (I usually just shove everything in on the Eco setting at 30 or maybe 40 but this time put it on the mixed fibres setting instead. Still ran for the same time and came out lovely and clean and dry) and the difference in power usage was phenomenal. Instead of about a 75p spike for the wash n dry it was £2.75 Amazing difference.

 

[Eternal422]

Good morning everyone! 6.3 this morning for me. Back to normal patterns hopefully now after the weekend.

@harbottle - congratulations on the HS!

 

[Wannie]

4.7 this morning, lazy start compared to past 3 days when I had the 2 little live wires here catch up on household tasks today and make sure everything is organised for next weekend.
Have a good day everyone

 

[Colin g]

Morning all 5.1 for me this morning.. hope everyone is doing well

 

[khskel]

Morning all and 5.9 for me.

Not sure if going out today or getting the saw out to attack the yew again. Currently awaiting orders

Have a good day everyone.

We have just had the worst storm in 17 years. i was in the campo with Missy and suddenly it went very dark, lots of thunder and lightning so Missy stopped in her tracks and looked at me, i said ' shall we go home? ' and she turned and ran back. Still got a little wet but a few moments later it poured down, so much so that it brought down hundreds of grape vine leaves and blocked the central drain in the courtyard. The water level rose very alarmingly and I had to brave the rain and unblock the drain, I had to do it 3 more times! Just checked the weather station and there is worse to come. My plannd tip to the surgery to book my 'lu and covid booster jabs is off. The only happy people will be the olive grove owners!

 

[rebrascora]

Well I am not sure it is in the spirit of the HS to claim this since the whole idea was that it was a number high enough to suggest that you hadn't been too low in the night but at 4.10am I woke up to my Libre definitely saying "Lo" (3.2 on my BG meter from a finger prick)

Normally I would have had 2JBs and gone back to sleep but I felt this one needed a bit more so I got up and had a half a square of dark choc and a couple of spoons of peanut butter on top of the 2 JBs and clearly that was a good choice. The decision to stick with 4 units of Levemir last night was clearly a less good one. 🙄.... Probably more to do with the extra 2 units yesterday morning which was the right decision at the time but perhaps just a little of that extra overlapped with the evening dose to drop me during the night. Just when my TIR stats were picking up a bit too. 😡

Anyway, all good now. Hope everyone has a good day.

 

[rebrascora]

Oh!... and congrats to @harbottle on your genuine House Special achievement as oppose to my fabrication.
