5.3 for me today.🙂

06:38 BS 5.4 🙂

Just checked to see where my new iPhone is & it’s still hasn’t made it across the water yet going from London up to just outside Newcastle upon Tyne so, I don’t think it’ll be arriving today: MUCH more likely tomorrow; across the north of England, across the sea & arrive in Belfast by the end of today is my guess!🙄 Muted bouncing bunny emoji!:D

Spent all yesterday watching on BBC iPlayer the life & travels of Michael Palin going over his travel diaries, & cassette tapes, of his travel programmes from the very first one back in 1988 Around the World in 80 Days to Pole to Pole, Full Circle etc. Which of course sent me off on a nostalgic journey back into 1988 to watch that groundbreaking 80 days trip: the absolute highlight of which was that little fishing boat across the Persian Gulf & old man that managed to take Bruce Springstein at full blast through the earphones of a walkman!😛:D😎o_O:D I’m now about half way through Pole to Pole & I’d forgotten how CLOSE he & his team were the end of the USSR; 2 days after they’d left the Ukraine the rebellion started that ended up disbanding the Soviet Union; looking back on those 2 episodes where he met & spoke to people in Estonia, Lennigrad as it still was then & Ukraine is REALLY interesting!😱😎😛 I look forward to seeing all of the Michael Palin programmes that are on the iPlayer now!😛

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉
 
Morning all. Another 5.9 surprisingly. Thanks for everyone’s kind thoughts yesterday, they are much appreciated. Last I heard my auntie was hanging on, that was lunch time yesterday. Don’t know what today will bring, the knowing it’s going to happen but not when is the worst thing, it’s taking me back to 30 years ago when my mother died. I will try and distract myself as much as possible, yesterday I did some Christmas shopping. Today is ironing and watching rubbish telly. My stomach drops every time I get a message on my phone but I don’t want to put it on silent. Have a good day.

Michael Palin has always been my favourite Python 🙂 He's a Yorkshireman, like me, and went to school in Broomhill, Sheffield, where I used to live 🙂 His travel documentaries are the gold standard - he is to travel what David Attenborough is to nature! 🙂

That‘s deeply upsetting news for you all Eggy and it makes us feel so helpless that we can’t help. I unexpectedly lost a very valued friend on Saturday morning from Covid. He was 62, no serious pre-existing illnesses and it all happened over a 2 week period. I’ve felt emotionally wretched since and it brings this awful virus too close to home.
Best wishes to your affected relatives and hope they’re on the mend soon. Amigo x

I’m so sorry about your friend. You’re right it really does bring it close to home, up until Sunday evening I didn’t even know anyone who had had it. I knew people who knew someone who had had it but that was closest I’d got to it. I feel so helpless and angry, she may be 81 but most definitely doesn’t look or act it, she is very young for her age and apart from aches and pains she doesn’t have any pre existing illnesses. It is a very cruel and indiscriminate virus and those, who still after all this time, pronounce it as a fake virus or a “scamdemic” need to spend a few hours on a Covid19 ward. 😡
 
Morning all. 8.3 here.
Quick question ...i've noticed from the libre graph that if i go to bed on 6's i don't go out of target all night even though it rises by 2-3 it settles again and i wake on the same. If i go to bed on 7 or 8 i have a rise overnight which takes me out of target even though mostly i'm back down to 8s in the morning. On the nights i go to bed on 7 or 8, would it make a difference if i have 1u extra of Tresiba on those nights or would it make no difference? I don't have half unit pens for either insulin so couldn't use that. Would alternating Tresiba doses between 15 and 16 work?

@Lanny, i think Michael Palin is great, he would be on my dinner party list if we could have anyone we liked.
@eggyg, its the waiting that is horrible but we are all thinking of you.
Have a good day all
 
For the second morning in a row I got a 5.8 at 07:12. Damp and dreary here in West Berks today

I can feel the excitement building. Every year when they upgrade the processor I’m open mouthed at its power.
 
@freesia no it wouldn't work, Tresiba is ultra long lasting, 42+ hours hence why any dose adjustments take 2-3 days to have an effect, for that reason you'd be playing a very difficult and unpredictable game as the increased dose may hit you 2 days later throwing lows at you etc, you'd be better asking your team to switch you to cartridges and a novopen echo, it only takes a quick call to ask and they shouldn't have a problem with it xx

Miserable, wet and chilly morning here. Only to be expected at the end of October, I suppose. Took an umbrella with me when we went to get a newspaper post-breakfast, just in case, but didn't need it.

Sainsbury's delivery at lunchtime, but some curious substitutions. Ordered Shower Shine, substituted Kitchen Cleaner. Yeah, that's going to do the business on our shower screens. Ordered haddock fillets for a new recipe my wife wants to try tomorrow, substituted smoked haddock fillets. Why do they think smoked is a suitable substitute? Once again, no large eggs. Is there a shortage of large eggs? Morrisons down the road never seem to have any either.

Happy to have dropped back to a 5.3 on waking.

I ordered frozen spinach as it’s handy for popping into curries, stews etc. They substituted frozen cabbage! Well I suppose it’s green!

When you order on-line in the UK can you specify 'no substitutions' or are you grateful that they send you something

I think we just hope that they make a sensible substitution - but it’s mostly a forlorn hope. The drivers probably never do the shopping or any cooking!

That’s strange because I find Sainsbury’s are frequently out of medium eggs but plenty of large. I blame the Deep State.
