Haven't heard that expression since I left Wales back in 1972. I'll wager everyone who's not Welsh is now wondering how it's pronounced (not how it looks, everyone..!)
Morning all. Wet and windy this morning, and the weather is rubbish too! Boom boom! A very disappointing and unexplained 8.2 today. I suspect the Diabetes Fairy flew in on Dennis’ coat tails. Got the little darlings today, mum bringing them about 9.30, let’s see how long they last before they say they’re hungry and raid the biscuit cupboard. I’ll start the book....9.55am. Have a fab day. TGIF! 🙂
Still up at 6.6 so need to 'get a grip' today. - Still eating more carbs and blaming it on the 'grandson staying here effect'
But he is leaving today ( will miss him) - so all left-over food temptations, will get packed in his bag to take back home. and no excuse for higher reading tomorrow.
Lovely 5.7 for this morning, must be because I managed to test before getting out of bed. Extra pleased as went out last night with my friend and had a wonderful, beautiful, delicious, desperately missed spaghetti carbonara, yum yum yum it was gorgeous. I debated, dithered and agonised whether I should and then thought ‘no sod it’. As you might have gathered I really enjoyed it, 4 hours later 7.1 so it was worth it.
Going out with my daughter and 2 of the little ones, not sure where but will definitely be an active day.
Doggy is very quiet after her little procedure yesterday, having difficulty getting on bed/sofa as front paw dressed (had her dew claw removed). Just want to keep cuddling her but she wants to be left alone bless her.
Have a good day all x
PS had sent in sample to be tested for possible water infection - got a text yesterday to say I had tested negative for chlamydia and gonorrhoea and to test between sexual partners - hmm, been married for 34 years 😳😳
Good morning. A silly 9.2 today and I don't know why as I had very little to eat and what I did have I had more than enough NR to cover it.
Never mind, the Spring flowers are out, cyclamen, Tulips, begonias. Wished I knew how to post a photo.

Hi Michael, flowers sound lovely. On the reply box that you type into, bottom left there is an Attach files box, if you click on that it will take you to a choice where you can go into your photo library to post a photo. Hope that makes sense. X
8 for me this morning after an over indulgence last night, plus missing a dose of my canaglifizon yesterday morning, I forgot to grab the new box before work, and then forgetting my evening Metformin, so all in all could have been a lot worse.
Morning All. 7.1 today.
Hope you all have a good Friday and a great weekend. Catching up with niece and nephews (3,5 and 8) tomorrow looking forward to it. I usually get into ‘trouble’ with the nephews last time I got put on the naughty step much to their amusement !
7.1 @ 8.55am which isn't bad if you knew the rubbish I'm eating. I can't seem to pull myself up, just meandering along oblivious. Trying to get on the SlimFast liver diet, leave the makings out daily, put them away when I get up and get out the frying pan.
Where are the smileys? Nothing's lighting up for me.
