BTW I'm intrigued by a word you've used a few times CLOSEY.

what most Scots call the area inside a block of flats, think you'd call it a communal area or something like that xx
 
@Kaylz thanks a new word for me. My old ma was Ulster Scots and had a wonderful range of words.
So you'll probably know what she meant by oxter.

Morning all. Late on parade today. A much better 6.3 today. Just relaxing after a full English. Going to attempt a walk today without having a panic attack. Hoping that this bitterly cold wind will keep the fair weather walkers home. I’ll be taking antiseptic wipes for gates, styles etc. Other than that not much doing. Have the best day you can. 🙂
 
Good morning 6.5 on a cloud covered, windy, cool day.🙂 Went to Lidl at 10:00 in shopped paid and out 10 minutes done,😎 sea is roaring like a Lion with waves to match. Walked back through the park and could see this bird with what looked like it had something attached to its rear, as I got closer to it turned out to be a mother duck with her babies in tow a beautiful sight.🙂 They walked in front of me while I was trying to find my phone for a photo but they disappeared into the stream before I had a chance,:( made my day.:D

Hope you feel better @ColinUK you`ve done the right thing.

Still another Jerk in your midst @Kaylz so sorry, still we are all learning some Scottish vocabulary.😱🙂

Hope your nightmare didn`t upset you too much @SueEK {{{HUGS}}}.

Keep it together folks stay safe you all have the forum to fall back on, hope you have a pleasant Sunday take care.🙂

So yesterday I felt like c**p. Very sore throat, nauseous, touch of the squits, pounding headache, a little achey but nothing too severe on that front. No temperature.
Ate healthily all day and this morning my reading is 10.6.

I’m guessing that I’ve got some kind of infection and the metabolic response is to flood the body with hormones etc and that’s caused the spike?

Hope you are feeling much better very soon @ColinUK 🙂
 
Morning all, 8.5 @ 7.34am

I luvs words so tried to look up 'close' as I was sure I remembered Henry James using the word for an area in Cambridge in his ghost stories. Those posh areas outside living spaces in colleges. I googled and got told not to get too close to anything with the Covid lol.
 
5.4 for me ... then dropped to 4.2 two hours after breakfast. Nice walk with our dog Freddie after lunch . Lovely getting out and having some fresh air . To beat the boredom I’ve been cooking and Christmas crafting

LOL Yes I remember poetry writing class like that.
"On wintry nights when the wind is high
And black clouds scud across the sky"
My pathetic next 2 lines were
"I am lying up in bed
With the blankets o'er my head" 😎

Stay safe and well everybody.

Morning all, couldn't sleep too well, woke up and have a 5.2 on the meter, after a rather silly 6.8 last night after eating some rice. Just testing to see what kind of a raise I get from rice as I've got a lot of it in the house and supplies aren't due until Thursday PM.
 
Good morning folks . 7.8. Guess who forgot tthere Basal yesterday morning 🙄
 
Definitely unwell and BG this morning at 11.

Sore throat, slight temperature, utterly wiped out.

Hopefully it won’t be a nasty bout and BG will drop quickly once it’s gone.
 
Morning

Don’t see my grandad over the weekend as he generally has other things on but he’s keeping his weekend routine by not coming for tea’s etc, phoned him yesterday to see how he was though, fine and well but also asked him while I was on the phone if his other daughter or granddaughter had bothered phoning lately to see if he was doing ok, absolutely raging to find out they haven’t! They pretend their angels and caring etc but haven’t been in touch with him for weeks! If there’s something in it for them they are quick to be in touch though!

Going to have to move the stuff that’s sitting around my cross trainer, I’d stopped using it as me & Bruce were enjoying weekend strolls together but I’m going stir crazy, have had to shut my bedroom window as was absolutely Baltic yesterday

Anyways 6.4 for me today and away to get breakfast, hopefully the day gets better as I've already poured a load of almond milk all over the worktop :(

@ColinUK I hope your feeling better soon, rest up and take it easy
Xx
 
Morning All today's reading was 7.8 for me hope you are all as well as can be and stay safe and well

I haven’t got to the thesis part of the course yet, just doing a pesky little essay! I’ll get there... 🙂

Morning all.:D 6.6 here.
 
Morning all. A highly unusual, but very welcome, 5.4. I’m nothing, if not inconsistent! Managed a walk without a panic attack yesterday, although still a lot more folks about than usual. The one thing I noticed was how quiet the roads were, even the M6! I think, fingers crossed, people have started to realise how serious this all is. Haven’t a clue what I’m going to do today, I will definitely be reading, that’s a given, and might try another walk just incase there’s going to be further lockdown measures as rumoured. Stay safe everyone and @ColinUK hope it’s nothing too nasty. Look after yourself.
