Morning all. 6.1. Leaving the cottage today to mosey on home. Going into Hull especially for Mr Eggy to take a photo of the bridge, then drive on it, it’s not the way home but when in Rome....going to be a hot one even up north today. Thank goodness for AC in cars these days. Have a great day and don’t forget the sunscreen. 😉
Congrats again @Baz.
Morning all. 🙂7.3 here...that’ll be because I haven’t had my morning walk for three days, even tho I HAVE raised my basal - amazing, the power of exercise.
Morning all, 23.8 on my thermometer already this morning, phew going to be very hot today in Sussex. Had a lovely day at my sons yesterday and my grandson really enjoyed himself and thankfully loved his presents. 7.3 for me today following the bbq!! Have to go to work today as no secretarial cover. Cancer referrals have to be sent within 24 hours of patient being seen so will have to go in about 12 to make sure they are sent but dont have anything planned today so that’s alright. Eventually got hold of dr yesterday about my tremor. They are going to write for advice from the neurologists so that’s good. @Baz. yet again well done on an HS @eggyg sounds like you’ve had a great break, so pleased for you and Mr Eggyg.
Have a good day, keep your sun lotion (and mask) to hand x
@SueEK please on a waking thread, do not start a post with - morning all, 23.8, have to say got a tad concerned until I read the next few words that followed! lol

Well Bruce's mum managed to get my 2 finger dark kit kats and cocoa powder but no dark mint kit kats or Cadbury caramel cake bars she says she'll keep her eyes peeled when she's shopping elsewhere so fingers crossed, I only want a little treat in the cake bars!
Anyways twas a little on the low side 3.9 for me, 2 glucose chews got me to 5.8 before breakfast, absolutely no earthly what is going on and sensor playing up so it's not much use as no patterns! (runs out tomorrow morning)
Morning all, 6.3 here. Yes, @Kaylz , I did a double take until my brain registered the word ‘thermometer' in @SueEK's post! Glad it wasn't your BG, Sue! It’s going to be a scorcher here, too.
Its a 5.8 from me in sweltering Staffordshire this morning. Weather says it will feel like 35° by late morning! Going for a coffee with a friend this morning, hope we can find a shady place to sit . Whatever you are doing today, keep hydrated and be safe out there.

Sorry about that Kaylz, just rambling as usual. I think I’d be flat out the floor if that was my bg reading haha. Thanks for your concern though, that’s sweet xx
Joining @ColinUK 5.5 this morning. I like those ones as I have a single figure target in my test kit so that I always correct with a Bolus at meals. That is the only value which appears green when I test. A very exciting and rare occurrence (for some people like me)
Congrats to @Baz and @Madeleine on those HS @SueEK I am with @Kaylz and others starting with the 23.8 in your post had me worried.
@Bloden It was me that went to Wild Side. It is the most amazing garden at Buckland Monachorum (fabulous name) which was the vision and work of one couple Mike and Ros Wiley. They started with a flat orchard and have moved earth and shale and rocks (on the edge of Dartmoor) to create canyons, banks, Lakes, ... it is a feast of colour. It is open for four days each month from May -July. I had never heard of it until last week but I am so glad I went. Ros died last year from Cancer. Mike is continuing their work on a new area in her memory which will become a cancer respite garden. Have a look at their website www.wileyatwildside.com It is well worth repeated visits, but you have missed it for this year, as today is the last today. Their dates on the website are similar for next year.
@eggyg turn that AC up and relax. Glad you had a good break.
Keep as cool as you can today. It might be a bit wobbly on the levels today.
It was 8.1 this morning after 15.1 last night, it was my wife’s birthday and we had a Chinese meal with friends, although I went easy with the meal it was still far too high
Golf today and I will get the numbers down somehow ( I hope)
have a great day everybody
