Good morning folks! 🙂
Well went to bed on a 6.0 and knowing how I've been dropping the last week or so decided I wasn't safe so took a rich tea on board, woke to 6.4 and up to 6.7 before breakfast so I'll take that
Roasting here and the windows open already! Quite dull atm though
Hope you all have a fantastic day!

Good morning, breezy and cool here but very bright, expecting to melt later. Got to go chemist, pick up meds for me, Mum and brother, always a hassle.
7.4 @ 8.09am not bad after a small helping of potato with dinner last night, Stella Maris from M&S, mmm. 🙂 I luvs spuds.
Have now got Steve Winwood playing in my head for some reason... Also watched BBC4 TopOfThePops 1964 to 1975, took me right back. Mum says "Isn't there a film on?"

So, it wasn’t just me that was very hot last night then? Absolutely bucketing down later in the night/early morning though & still raining now! 😱
I finished in 58th place this time & got my qualifying medal! 🙂 Oops! 😳 Still can’t get it anywhere but, at the top! 🙄
A very late for me Good Morning to you all! It’s the weekend again & time to go wild! 😉 Have a Wonderful Day! 🙂
Exercises beckons & my tingles have almost completely gone!

5.7 for me this morning and a good weight loss of 2 1/4 this week. Was going to be baking today but will just do double tomorrow or bake a couple of evenings during the week as I am too hot already without having cakes in the oven.

Good morning all.
I woke with 7.0 mmol feeling hot - can the heat affect BG?
Any way this morning I thought I would go for a walk before breakfast to see if BG would come down some. Also before it got too hot.
After 20 min walk and 10 mins in the garden picking some raspberries and red currents BG down to 6.2 mmol before breakfast.
Question, does the BG routinely come down after any exercise?
Have a great day all, keep cool.

Good morning world🙂
I woke up on 6.7, another straightish line overnight, so that’s fine and dandy.😎
Busy afternoon yesterday, residents meeting (tedious) and the aerial engineer came to check the work on the satellite connection upgrade. All working nicely, so Sky Q being installed on July 8. Makes having a 4K Ultra HD TV worthwhile. Can’t wait
Bit cloudy and muggy here in the Ribble Valley. Must get down into the village to pick up a prescription. It wouldn’t do to run out of insulin.🙄
Local derby in the cricket this morning - Pakistan v Afghanistan. Headingly will be stowed. Not quite local derby this afternoon, New Zealand play Australia. So that’s the day sorted. And next week, b****y Wimbledon starts, which the BBC thinks is so important that all its channels get disrupted, and your favourite programmes disappear in a cloud of grunty women and miserable Russians.
Anyway, have a good day everyone, last day of stupid temperatures, thank goodness🙂

Good morning 6.2 on a lovely morning, 24.5 C with a welcome breeze.🙂
That`s on quite often @Ditto also with different years, a real memory jerker.🙂
@Jodee, I have to be careful with exercise because my BS drops very quickly, also the heat lowers it as well.🙄 Other members will tell you it affects them differently,so it really is an individual effect, test before you start and always have your preferred hypo treatment with you.🙂
Have a great day folks.🙂

Pleased to report a very nice 6.0 this morning after going to bed with the same number, so will kid myself that my BG was level as a train crossing all night.
Lost another swarm yesterday (bummer!) but would like to say that I am in no way responsible for that disruption of the international cricket yesterday at Chester le Street! So funny seeing all the players flat out on the ground like that!
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend whatever they are doing.... I will be mostly hiding out of the heat I think!

I'm happy to relate
Today it's 5.8
Slept very little last night (insomnia and the stuffy heat) I'm beginning to suspect that lack of sleep does affect my numbers.
It was my turn to do the washing up last night. During the procedure, I got that old warm wet feeling.
Yes, you've guessed it, my trusty Marigolds had sprung a leak.
"Alexa, add rubber gloves to my shopping list" says I to my trusty Amazon Echo.
"I'm sorry, I can't find that song on Spotify" says she.
I repeated the request, this time enunciating clearly and slowly as you would
if you were addressing the cat or a 2-year-old child.
See Exhibit A below 😱
A Crackerjack! Pencil or a cabbage to the first person to figure out what the ‘eck “Tickler Honey” is!!
Have a great Sun day everybody.😎

4.7 for me this morning. Off for my Sunday morning run and then a coffee with my running friends to discuss training plans and apps for our half marathon which is a first one for us all.
