Bonjour tout le monde, I slept in a bit this morning which is unusual for me.
Reading at 06:20 was 5.6.
Hayfever, and sneezing already.
Here’s hoping the weather clears in Manchester and that England can finish the job.

Morning all, 8.6 here, oops! Tried a half unit reduction AND a piece of cheese before bed, because i’ve been dropping into the red around 4am recently. Looks like one OR the other would have been enough, I got a flat line, anyway.
Off to meet a friend in a NT garden in High Wycombe today, I normally meet her in John Lewis, but they haven’t opened their coffee shops yet. At least we can get a takeaway coffee from the NT tearoom and drink it in the picnic area. First time we’ve actually met since Feb, though we have been facetiming.

Morning
3.3 for me at 5:50, no earthly idea why/how as was 8.8 at bedtime! Slow absorber bolus for tea maybe? Anyways 2 glucose chews provided me with a 5.3 an hour later before breakfast, hopefully things will stay settled! Already got the sore head after effects though
Our bin day too, general waste this week though, they are up on the main street just after 7 every week yet not down here until after 1 in the afternoon, doesn't make much sense as the main street is where our street actually starts!
Have a nice day folks

5.9 for me this morning which I am very happy with.
Had some lamb bolognaise last night whivh my brother in law had made me. Didn't bolus as it was that time of day when my Levemir causes a bit of a dip and didn't have any carbs with it but it took me up to 13 for some reason. I am guessing the passata and onions in it hit my blood stream initially as my BG went upwards pretty quickly and then the protein from the meat kept me there but it wasn't a massive portion. It took 2 x 2 unit corrections to bring me down so I am delighted with my morning reading after that chaos.
Woohoo! @Baz Congrats on your HS

Evening all. Congrats Baz. 🙂
You lucky burger Madeline having a cleaner! I'm getting one of them when I win the UK Lotto.
9.7 @ 8.02am agh I'm so sorry now that I refused the bariatric. I'd have it done now if given the chance but have left it too late, no point. I'm a stupid burger!

Good morning 🙂 4.3 for me today - new sensor reading low, which is annoying, cue lots of hypos that aren't really hypos

Morning all
A 6.0 again today...
Grandparent duties today, I think we are making mud pies in the garden ...yum!
In other news, I have been thinking about our many contributors to this forum and how easy it is to beat ourselves up when it all goes 'pear-shaped' with DB.
So I leave you with a thought from a wonderful book written by Charlie Mackesy - 'The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse' you can buy it in most bookshops or online and follow him on twitter @charliemackesy.

My turn to have an extraordinary outlier of a reading this morning with a whopping (for me anyway) 7.8
Eustachian tube still blocked and that half of my face now complete with painful sinuses and slight swelling but I feel like it’s easing so hopefully it’s peaked and is clearing.
Other than that, went for a mid length walk yesterday (8 miles all in all) on a mission to find an 32cm planter so toured some local, and not so local, shops. Found nothing.
Lawyer conference call later in the afternoon where we decided on a slight amendment to strategy and then relaxed with an Agent Carter binge on Disney+
I’m a fan of the marvel films so decided to watch them and the TV series all in chronological order - as I’m on Agent Carter I’ve got a long way to go!
Main task today is to get on the phone to BT and serve them notice I’m off. Their email informing me I’m being put on a “better” package which includes things I never use and services I don’t want means I’m off. And a quick glance at uswitch suggests I can halve my Internet bill by going. So I’m off.
I’m also going to plan a holiday (although I think planning is as far as it’ll go). Quite tempted to research something tranquil like walking in the alps maybe, or even heading off to the vestigial remains of the primordial forest in Poland perhaps. Whatever, it’s likely to really freak out my ancient laptop which takes 15 minutes from powering up to being able to actually do anything vaguely useable!
Ooh! Don’t know if I mentioned this ever before but I used to be an actor. A real professional one who made his living from it, but grew bored of auditions and rehearsals etc so quit... yesterday I received an email out of the blue from a director saying that my name has come up in conversation and that he has a script he’d like me to read. I read it. It’s decent. The role he’s keen on me for is interesting. I said we should talk.
