Group 7-day waking average?

Anyone looking for an alternative to the traditional donkey..... have you thought about equipping yourself with these....

They are Jumping Stilts or Kangaroo Boots and you can run at 15/kmh in them with very little effort so they’d be ideal for climbing the odd Greek island or two!
 
They look hilarious, ridiculous and terrifying in equal measure! I quite fancy trying them :D
 
Morning

Dull, cloudy and a little rainy looking here, was sweltering yesterday afternoon and night! Was a bit odd watching BBC Breakfast this morning as Reporting Scotland has appeared back. only 2 stories and no change away from the only thing being reported these days but at least its back

Anyways its a 5.8 for me, sore neck which is causing a stonking headache with the pain travelling up the nerves, no idea how I've managed it but hoping it doesnt last too long

Have a nice day and stay safe
xx

I can just see @Snowwy bounding past the donkeys up to Fira with those on! Look terrifying to me, I’ll stick to my own two legs, thanks! 😱

Morning all, 4.7 here. Off shortly for the early morning supermarket raid.
I hope you’re going to climb your stairs a few dozen times to simulate the path up the cliff, @Snowwy, and no cheating and importing a donkey!

Yeah no donkeys for me ... support the IOW donkey sanctuary.

@ColinUK can you imagine putting those 'bouncy' things in the suitcase, would set off all the alarms!
Yes Santorini is not flat, the last time we were there it was host to the world 'Freerunning championships' which was amazing for those taking part with all the levels, but it was a bit crowded! We took the easy route to the top via a coach.
Glad you are enjoying the virtual ride, no packing involved.

Blessings Snowwy
 
6.0 for me this morning. 🙂

Stay safe and well.

5.5 this morning. Still on extra insulin, (130%j but I need what I need.
I would still like to work out why.

Great to put faces to names for some on the Zoom call yesterday.
I like the idea of the ‘shoes’ @ColinUK , but I suspect I would be joining @KARNAK in A&E if I tried them!! I hope you are resting @KARNAK and that the colour on your foot is fading.

Have a good day all.
 
06:27 BS 10.9 :( I can only put it down to pain! I inadvertently cut my right thumb last night with my leftthand ring fingernail: didn’t know I’d broken it so, it was ragged & sharp as a razor blade; in the little girls room, at the time, just before bed & caught my thumb getting toilet paper!😱 I felt the sharp pain at the time & yelped in surprise & pain: looked at my hands & noticed the broken nail & a deep 1 inch fine cut across the top of my thumb from just below the nail bed to just past my thumb joint, like a paper cut but, not as clean as paper is a straight edge & my fingernail was not! It bled quite a bit. I put tea tree oil on first, antibacterial, then, propolis & aloe vera cream, healing & topped it all with sudocrem, the thickness sticks to & fills in fine cuts. Then filed my broken nail so, it wasn’t a dangerous weapon anymore. Went to bed & I was aware of the painful sting & throbbing through my sleep. Midnight Levemir reading was BS 12.0 stuck in 12 units of Novorapid as well as 28 units of Levemir, upped by +2 units. Still woke up high this morning!😱

Had breakfast Novorapid 38 units, I decided to see what happens? After 08:28 BS 14.8 & stuck in +4 correction. I have a feeling the rest of the day will be the same & I’ll need to increase insulin more: think I’ll go with 50 midday Levemir, a smallish jump of +4; go for higher jumps with Novorapid as a safer option as advised by new temp. DSN. I think 36 units for lunch later & see how that goes? My thumb is stinging & throbbing away furiously: if you’ve ever had a paper cut, you’ll know how deep it can be; also, how painful! Teardrop emoji!

Got my golf results & medal just after 08:00. Finished in 82nd. Place my 2nd worse ever result but, glad to MAKE it to the final weekend round at all: my worst result was 84th for the first tournament I ever managed to qualify through the qualifying round & the opening round to reach the final; the 3rd. tournament I tried & the one where I finished 3 holes in 16 minutes that I posted about last year!😱 Here it is:-

A bit distracted & a little Miss Forgetful Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉

PS: Is this a bit of karma for semi admonishing Ted @KARNAK to be careful: I get hurt myself?o_O🙄:D😉
 
In the 7s again today with a 7.3, guess that was the bbq but I did more serving than eating plus loads of walking. Was in mummy/nana mode lol. Gorgeous day again, walked the dog though not too far as she was limping last night from our activities, she’s feeling her age bless her. Going to B&am this morning so masks are the ready. Stay well everyone xx
 
A shocking 8.8 this morning which is the highest waking level I’ve had in 5 yrs. I recently had to drop a cancer med which, when I first started it, plunged my levels brilliantly low. I literally could eat anything I wanted without spiking. Of course it didn’t last and I didn’t abuse it. It was brilliant to have 4 & 5 waking levels for a while though. Fast forward a year and coming off this med has had the opposite effect. Having always been able to control my levels with diet, it’s shocking to eat very few carbs and still see levels indicative of a huge, carby meal! :(

Very depressing indeed and can only hope it normalises. Of course my annual diabetic review is due 😱
 
Good morning 4.8 on a very overcast day although its 24.C outside.🙂
Not much on today except sorting tablets out for the week, that`ll take me a couple of hours.🙄

Congratulations on HS @khskel.🙂

@ColinUK gimme, gimme a pair,😱:D:D just don`t tell @eggyg.:D

Sorry about your thumb @Lanny should have opened your take away up,o_O then you could ask your customers sore finger.😳:D

Don`t beat yourself up @Amigo your review should be ok and I know you will get your control back.

Thanks for more best wishes folks.🙂

Have a good day folks take care stay safe.🙂

Thanks Karnak, I certainly hope so. Don’t mind if I’m to blame but this feels out of my control:(
 
Sending you heartfelt sympathies @Michael12421
Lola had a wonderful life with you and that is all any animal can ask for and she repaid you with love and loyalty. I hope you and Missy can console each other during the time of grieving ahead but focus as much as you can on the good times you had together.
Sending you virtual hugs. XX

Today at 12.36 my eldest dog died. She was 15 years old and I rescued her when she was just 11 months old. I am completely bereft.

Alway tough when you lose a pet however long its been with you.
My daughter lost her dog just before lockdown, we looked after it 3 times a week and we were in pieces for a while. We are cat people but somehow this dog ( a tibetan spaniel) had wormed his way into our lives during the last 12 years.
Take time to mourn the loss of family... but look after yourself.
 
Somewhere between 6.5 and 7.5 for me.
Just had my annual blood test, down from 44 to 39 (deep joy) but cholesterol up to 6.5 from 5.5 (deep despair)
Seem I can never win.
 
Improvement from yesterday with a 6.0 today.
