Group 7-day waking average?

06:29 BS 10.9

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

I lost track, a bit, of the days since I changed to +2, 86, Tresiba & I’m sure it’s been over a week: definitely rising waking again: will increase another +2, 88, later today! Starting at 50 down to 48 NR for breakfast, going -4 increments for successive meals, lowered my BS a bit for a while but, I see that I need a bit more! So, it looks like I need to go back up to last winter’s doses of 88 Tresiba &, once that comes fully through, 44 NR for breakfast? :confused:

I’ve already stuck in the same 48, 47 actually as that’s the last of the pen, & try a bit of prebolusing, while I post this, & see if that helps? The increased Tresiba is hours away yet at midday! 🙄:confused:

The rest you can skip, honestly I won’t know, as it’s Chinese drama!

I started watching Ancient Love Poetry yesterday, eventually, after waiting for tesco shopping & then, had a last phone call from my eldest brother before the family here in NI leave for HK tomorrow! Dad had a nice birthday at home in HK with my youngest brother, who’s stayed with him throughout these last few years of covid lockdown & it was lovely to hear about that! 😛

It was about 14:00 ish & watched 5 & a third episodes, these are about 46 minutes long & it makes a big difference those extra minutes: programmes were much closer to 1 hour, about 50 minutes, in the 80’s as I remember; over the decades that’s gone down to 45 then, 40 minutes now & I admit that’s a bit too fast storytelling for me! Especially the current American tv shows where I switch on the subtitles to help me process it a bit faster to keep up with the plot: even then, I end up rewinding quite a bit to get the plot straight! I notice that loss of minutes, longer & more ad breaks, when watching older TV shows from my collection of DVD’s: don’t have to process as fast with the slower pacing! 🙄

It’s slower going, as always, until I get the vocabulary & it’s looking pretty good: I like it! 🙂 This one is much more magic than kung fu so, it’s a different set of rules & vocabulary than the more kung fu genre of my childhood: in fact that’s what the Xianxia genre is; magic & other worldly realms!:confused: The genre I grew up on has changed a bit: everything does!🙄

It looks SO beautiful the sets & costumes: think of it as the Chinese version of The Lord of The Rings, even in only 720p; can’t wait to advance to, I’m doing it faster now, to not needing subtitles & see it in full 1080 4K HDR on the Chinese TV websites with only Chinese subtitles! The difference is like night & day I’ve already discovered with AMA! 😛😎 The difference between 720p on myasiantv isn’t much compared with 1080p on youtube but, 1080 4K HDR is HUGE! 😱 EVERYTHING looks SO much better!😱😛😎

I was just thinking that my poor old macBook Pro, that’s been sitting there unused since aI can’t remember when, is only 720p & my iPad mini 5 is slightly higher resolution than 1080, it’s exactly 1152 pixels I know from taking pictures, & the bigger iaPads have higher resolution! Even the little iPhone SE 2020 has 720p but, of course being much smaller than the laptop, the pixels are much smaller so, it looks MUCH better! 😛😎

Breakfast is calling now, my stomach is grumbling & that’s as much pre bolus I can stand & calling it an end to this post! 🙄:rofl:😉
 
Good morning. BG 6.2. A busy day yesterday - 2 hours stacking the Taras split wood, 3 hours clearing storage area behind barn (exhuming several surprise finds), then supervising and clearing up after the hay move. That produced an even bigger surprise - a large and disgruntled hedgehog who was planning a cosy winter. Hopefully, having left the doors open overnight, it will relocate to the new stack.
News from Ukraine rather worrying. Don't like the sound of that new Russian General.
Dry day forecast so need to get on. Wishing everyone a good day.
 
Morning fellow early risers. Even on holiday I can’t get a lie in. Ah well, rewarded with a wonderful 5.4, a unicorn and the flattish, flatfish in Portugal. It must be the pastel de natas, can’t think what else it can be. I think, I’m cured! 😉

Of course it could have been all the walking we did yesterday, almost 10 miles! Luckily it was a fresher day, still hot at times, we really enjoyed Lagos, 20 years since we last visited and we realised, as “youngsters”, we didn’t appreciate its beauty. A walled city with wonderful architecture and fabulous harbour, beaches and a great atmosphere. Well worth a visit. Staying local today and probably only venturing over the road to the Spar! We’ve had a bit of rain this morning, there’s a few puddles lying around. Two more full days left and we’re back home Thursday, better do the dreaded holiday present buying for the grandchildren as well. ( Not at the Spar!).

Have a terrific Tuesday. 🙂

Morning all, 4.3 here. OH tested positive for Covid yesterday, not surprised, only that it took him so long to catch it from me. He’s much the same as I was, mainly cold symptoms, but he doesn’t have the raging sore throat I had, s'not fair!

I’ve woke up with a snotty nose and lots of phlegm. Absolutely no sign of anything untoward when I went to bed. Feel ok so far. Day nine after flying in a tin can with 200 other folks and being in taxi with a snotty, coughing, sweaty driver! Fingers crossed, it’s only a cold. Hope hubby only gets a mild case.

Oh no! Just what you don’t need in the middle of a lovely holiday. I hope it doesn’t amount to anything, and the sunshine sees it off.
 
5.5. Not enough sleep as had to wait up for washing machine, realised after I'd started another load that kids needed shirts so had to wait up for them. Slight sniffle today but covid test looks negative so far

Fingers crossed. And guess who forgot to bring the newly bought LFTs with us? 🙄 It’s maybe best I don’t know as I would feel bad getting on a plane to come home if I was positive. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss. I’m sure it’s only a cold, I’ve managed to avoid it for the last 2.5 years and I’m five times jabbed, I’m sure I’m immune!🙂
 
5.4 for me today. 🙂

6.0 this morning.
Wordle in three again.
 
Good morning
a slightly higher 7.6 for me today @6 am
after a disturbed nights sleep.

I’ve been busy this morning catching up with a few work emails
off out to work in a minute

have a great day everyone 😎
 
Good morning everyone, sunny but a bit 'fresh' here this morning, 5 at 8 am load of washing in did four loads yesterday! Forgot how much washing little people make, especially toddler with a snotty nose :rofl:
 
Good morning everyone! 4.8 this morning for me.

@eggyg hope you’re ok and it is just a cold and doesn’t spoil your holiday!

Hope everyone has a good day!
 
Morning all, and it’s a 5.7 this fine sunny day.
