Group 7-day waking average?

04:15 BS 6.7 🙂 About the same as yesterday!:D

Had another new bread, substitute, that I’ve never tried before Hovis 7 seeds even tastier than asda super seeded but, just a bit more carbs per slice 19g as opposed to 17g respectively: not much difference between the two really but, Hovis has the slight edge! 🙄😛 Will be batch cooking today slow cooked chicken casserole & chicken & vegetable soup for the freezer, in the main, with some portions in the fridge!😛 & sweating over the stove emoji! NOT that I really do that: my sister always said I cook in the style of Nigella Lawson; minimalist preparation & don’t mind longer cooking times hence, the slow cooker!😉 Definitely NOT the frantic, everything squeezed into a tight space of time, exhausting 30/15 minutes meals of Jamie Oliver!😱

There’s not really much going on & I’m definitely feetling a bit blah & stir crazy!:confused:o_O

BUT, this week there’s another golf clash tournament which I try my best to get into the final & finish as best I can? 🙂 This month’s highlighted player has REALLY made me count my blessings, though! He’s a C4 quadriplegic who’s paralysed from the shoulders down. He’s been playing for 2 years with a mouthstick held in his mouth & using iPhone‘s assistive touch technology to zoom the screen around, as he can’t move his phone, lines up his shots & lets the ball go by swiping the screen with a mouthstick!😱 AMAZING! And he’s VERY competitive being in a clan in the champions 100 League: the top 100 clans in the world; that sits above all 12 divisions below it with 1000’s of clans in each division!o_O & clapping hands emoji!

The birdies are having a right o chorus outside my bedroom window & all the chicks have flown the nest now!😛😎

An early Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day on this Bank Holiday Monday!😉
 
Housey housey - yes 5.2. 🙂

Back to early morning sunshine.

STYLE A RAT everyone and spread only love and kindness.

Morning Everybody ,

It's a 5.8 this morning for me
 
Beautiful sunshine, not even a breeze today, lovely weather for our street party. Looking forward to it, the last one was such fun and thankfully everyone is like-minded with the social distancing apart from one chap who has dementia so we all have to gently remind him all the time.
7 for me today, still miles away from an HS but congrats @MeeTooTeeTwo on yours. Hope your golfing tournament goes well @Lanny and as you say we must be grateful for what we do have, there are others with far more problems.
Have a good day one and all and stay safe x
 
Morning

Well had a call from a guy last night that brightened my evening, he ran the Salvation Army charity shop when me and mum volunteered there (he’s a youngish lad like in his 30’s) and when he left to change to Cancer Research shop in a different town he wanted to keep in touch, well he was drunk as a skunk last night and decided to phone, we usually just text or message on Snapchat, was in stitches the whole half hour! Lol

Bruce is away back to work today, involving buses etc but he has gloves, masks and snoods etc and has hand gel on the way so I’m confident and hopeful he and we will be ok

Anyways its a 5.8 for me today, again didn't sleep great, that futon mattress is so uncomfortable, I had a look at beds yesterday but they are more than a months money for me! 😱 uncomfortable it will have to stay :(

Have a nice day and stay safe folks
xx
 
Good morning, a woeful 7.4 for me. I’m blaming Tesco, they sent G&B 70% instead of 85%, and even though I know I shouldn’t have eaten half a bar of it, I did. I think I acted “ responsibly, legally and with integrity” and didn’t expect such a backlash when the consequences caught up with me. 🙄.
On another note, the Bank Holiday weather is set to be glorious, I hope you all have a lovely day and I know you will all “ Stay Alert, Contain the Virus and Save Lives”. 🙂

Morning all and snap @Northerner 6 on the dot for me.

I now have a full set of emptied garden waste bags so I can start filling them up again today.

Have a good day everyone.

We’ve booked a slot for Saturday at our local tip - can’t wait to get rid of the pile of c**p we’ve accumulated in lockdown. o_O Enjoy refilling those bags @khskel.


Morning all.🙂 5.8 here.

Going to take on our big cupboard today, see if it could be better organized. Wish me luck!😛
 
Morning all, 5.8 on the Libre, seems a popular number this morning. Put the sensor on yesterday just before a long walk, and it seemed OK, but yesterday evening it was reading constantly 3mml below my meter. Never had one do that before, though I know others have. Diagnosed dehydration and had another cup of tea, and it seemed to be closing the gap by bedtime, then this morning it’s nearly spot on. (meter was 6.2, but Libre had a slanting upwards arrow)
 
Morning all it’s a 6.0 for me which seems popular🙂

Good cupboard tidying luck @Bloden ,are you adopting the pull everything out in a great big heap strategy then shove it all back in later?😉

Beautiful sunny morning here so I’m off for a walk with some upbeat tunes in my headphones.

Have a good day.
 
Morning all,
I don't believe it...
6.0 on the nose (finger) for me also!
Very popular number it seems today.
Is it the new 5.2?

Blessings Snowwy
 
5.6 this morning. The day usually start well and then those biscuits start shouting at me when I have a cup of coffee.

Off for a longer walk today.

A gap in values between Libre and BG is always a reminder for me to drink some more water.
A dehydration meter as well as glucose!!

Yes, that’s it! I’ve postponed the cupboard-bothering however for a spot of hedge-trashing cos the sun’s come out. Enjoy your tunes. 😎
 
OMG I should be ashamed 😳- have just finished sorting out my wardrobes and have 5 bags of clothes going to charity that no longer fit, why did I have so many? 🙄I’m not good at throwing clothes away but they are never going to fit again. Have loads of designer dresses (bought from EBay, not new) so someone should be happy with them. :D If nothing else this lockdown will give us more space indoors 🙂 🙂
