Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning hermits🙂

I woke on 5.1 this morning. DP and a triple shot black coffee has lifted that to a steady 6.0. That’s if you believe that’s different, of course. Can’t even do proper DP these days. That’s due to CV and Brexit, obviously. Nothing else has changed.😉

Anyway, after lunch it’s lucky dip time with my Tesco delivery. Just as long as I get my pork scratchings, all protein and fat, the perfect nibble. At least pig slaughtering hasn’t stopped. Bit of a non essential, mind.

Speaking of non essentials, Boots have stopped selling makeup online, so I turned to John Lewis. Mrs B made me spend nearer £100 than £50. Cost a fortune, these women. And the scullery maid wants a pay rise. I’ve asked the butler to flog her, knock some gratitude into her.

It’s a hard life.

Anyway, stay safe, and don’t volunteer for anything. Make sure you get paid union rates😉:D
 
Well it is a 6.5 for me today. I'll take that although it meant I had to take a 2.5 unit bolus to cover DP as just had a boiled egg and 2 cups of coffee with cream for breakfast but doing nicely at 5.4 at the moment.

Got the vet coming out to one of my partner's horses today as he has been off colour and losing condition for months despite getting 3 buckets of feed a day. We had hoped that Dr Grass would fix him but he's just not picking up now he is out in the field. He has a tooth causing problems so some dentistry will be the first line of approach.... I think it may have to be extracted and it's a long way back, so that may take some doing 😳 and then some blood tests after that. I am starting to worry that it may be an internal tumour or something else major but fingers crossed it is straight forward and easily fixable or the tooth is the only problem, but not really convinced of that. He is so honest, he will still give his all if you take him out and has never flagged but the weight loss is scary for a big cob like him.
Other than that, it is just another day of working in the garden and on the land and feeding and mucking out. Hope everyone stays safe.
 
Was woken early with a 3.0 and tingling lips.
No idea what, no logical reason just one of those days.
It gave me an excuse to have a slice of whole meal fro breakfast instead of my
sensible lower carb cereal.

A morning of weaving while OH finishes pointing slabs in new patio area, then shredding of the prunings from yesterday’s gardening. This weather is so lovely.

Hope your cold goes as quickly as it came @ColinUK

Enjoy whatever you do

It’s gone now I’m pleased to say 🙂

Lovely walk in the warm sunshine and just took a BG test and it was 4.8 🙂
 
So pleased to hear that @ColinUK I woke up this morning streaming and since I haven't seen anyone to catch cold, I assumed it must be hayfever although it is years since I suffered from that. Once I got out and about feeding and mucking out etc, it seemed to settle down. Maybe there was just something irritating in the air this morning.
 
Pleased to report that the vet is pretty sure it is Ernie's teeth which are the main cause of his problems and our equine dentist has been ignoring a problem that perhaps should have been dealt with sooner, together with the sandy soil in his field causing more wear on his teeth than normal. His upper teeth on one side are worn right down to the gum line, which would be pretty painful for an animal which should spend approx. 14 hours a day chewing fibrous food. Hopefully the dentistry has made him a bit more comfortable and the blood tests will come back clear for anything more sinister but he is probably going to need supplemental feeding during the winter from now on in. Feeling hugely relieved at the moment.

That’s good news Barbara, so worrying when our animals are poorly. Hope all the results are clear x
 
Evening all. Nice longer posts, thank yous. :D

I live with my Mum too, we're at it hammer and tongues (what is that exactly hammer and tongues? Maybe tongs? Like in a companion set?)

It was boiling today and I hates the glary global warming sun, nasty. I went all over, different shops have different ways of dealing with customers. In the £Shop we had to follow each other round keeping to the lines. 🙂 B&M was very free and easy, just a bouncer on the door letting in one at a time but once you were in you had to be sensible. There was nobody in Barclays, just me paying in for my brother, he wasn't too good yesterday, a young man on the door was very friendly, I quite like all this have a nice day stuff.

If I'm out for 7 there's hardly anybody about which is just how I likes it. People are getting very complacent imho. I was 8.2 @ 7.03am. Be interesting to see what I am tomorrow as I did my version of low carb today. Go me. 🙂

Last night's clap was very emotional, I was blubbing in the garden.

I can't believe the horse is called Ernie, that is lol.
 
5.1 this morning. 🙂
Another warm sunny day is forecast. :D
My first time for being on here first. 😎
Stay safe and well.

Morning all,
5.5 for me today, have a great weekend!

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning all hope all is well , today's reading is 5.9 making me have an average reading for the week of 5.7 (last week 6.3) so I think it's been a good week here.
 
8.0 this morning. About to go out for my walk.
Have a good day folks!
 
Another Saturday early bird. A nice enough 6.1. Should have being going on holiday today to the Isle of Arran. :( Ah well, who wants to stay in a cottage on the beach with red squirrels in your back garden and sea birds for ever more? Holidays are so 2019! Have a good a day as you can, I’m going to cry into my cornflakes ( other breakfast carb filled cereals are available).🙂
 
Morning

8.0 for me today 😱 hopefully it's just the2 glucotabs an hour before bed and the 2 digestives at bedtime catching up with me, fingers crossed anyway as at the end of my tether already and cant deal with much more :(

Try have a nice day folks
Xx
 
6.8 for me today. Nice number @Michael12421 🙂 . Overcast and quite chilly at the moment, hope it will brighten up. Had a productive day yesterday, did another fence panel and the back of the shed, one and a half more panels to do. Cleaned the windows and frames outside at the back as well plus cooked a gammon roast. Hubby has finished the garage roof, so much brighter in my hall now hurray🙂. My brother rang and was a bit upset as my niece was going to hand in her notice at work, she works as a care assistant in a nursing home and someone has Covid19. There is no testing at all and they cannot get access to it. My sister in law has severe COPD, fibromyalgia and epilepsy and smokes way too much. She is convinced she is going to get it and die and vocalises this all the time so I’m not surprised my niece felt she had no choice. I know my niece would blame herself forever more if anything happened to her mum and I think I managed to get this over to my brother. It’s a very tricky one isn’t it, she wants to work but is scared, I feel sorry for her being in this situation. Will ring him later to see what happened.
Have a good day everyone and take good care xx
 
Blooooomin eck @Baz. You’re going great guns!

Morning all. 8.0 here. So, I either up the Tresiba or do some gardening today...gardening, plz. That pesky bindweed is back!
