Just frost today but just up the road in Penrith, North Lakes, there’s a dusting. Going to be a cold but sunny day tomorrow. Sounds perfect.
 
13:11 BS10.4 😳 Indulged in chocolate yule log again, reacted too slowly to midday alarm, nodded off & next thing I know it’s gone past 1pm. Midday Levemir a bit late & in first then, reading posts: will take my meds after posting & I’ve decided to roast my tesco two bird roast today & eat leftovers tomorrow; leftovers always seem nicer to me anyway!😛

A Very Good Day to you all mates & Merry Christmas Eve! 😉

Meds first with half oatcake & half NR dose for DP, roast in oven with trimmings & start the Opening Round of golf which I have 2 days, today & tomorrow, to complete 18 holes to see if I can make the Final on Saturday? 🙄
 
Expected in the New Year, but I’ve just received the eye scan result from last week. “Your test results show that you have no diabetic retinopathy.” Nice.
I still can‘t fathom why almost everyone booked in for the scan had cancelled. In a dark room I didn’t need the drops to dilate my pupils and the result has come through in quick time.
Some people are daft.
 
Good evening elves 🙂

Late reporting - busy day. 4.1 this morning, which is fine because I let the dawn effect lift that to 5.6. Accurate bolusing for tagliatelle with Bolognese sauce last evening. In Bologna they never serve spaghetti with Bolognese sauce, because proper tagliatelle has a slightly roughed surface to cling to the sauce, which is never dolloped on top, but stirred through the pasta. That's the cookery lesson for the day😎.

Learned something else yesterday - pay more attention, and don't panic. In a mistake I made once twenty years ago, I gave myself 20 units of Fiasp instead of Levemir (I usually take 18 at midday, but anticipating pasta). So briefly sat in the kitchen wondering what high carb concoction I could contrive. Adding things up, that turned into two Eccles cakes, a mince tart and two bourbon biscuits. My BG before the pasta was 5.8. My Libre sensors arrived yesterday, so I'm back the 21st Century, so I could observe that there was barely a spike post lunch. Much self satisfied smugness.😉

Did feel a bit sick, mind. But it beats eating a bag of Jelly Babies.🙂

Went down into the village this afternoon to collect an insulin prescription. I'd ordered it because I can never work out the days when Lloyd's will be open or the hours they will be open at this time of year. I have enough (probably) to get me over the new year, but you never know how many gallons of insulin you'll need for Christmas excesses. 😳 It was bloody cold, that little journey. Easily cold enough for snow, but you need clouds for that to happen.

Anyway, tomorrow morning me and Mr Kenwood will be making a Christmas log, as you do, and the lamb leg gas been taken out of the freezer for a slow roast tomorrow (the sponge for the Christmas log only takes 10 minutes to cook). Presents will be exchanged with the family as soon as they are cleared from Covid infection.

All the very best wishes for a great Christmas everyone. Don't worry, it only happens once a year.

This year, it's every moron gets Covid, courtesy of Boris Johnson. See you all in the next full lockdown:D

Although important especially for me I'd find it difficult to attend, close contact like that and the pandemic has caused many to develop mental health issues, I haven't even hugged my partner in months so I can understand completely how people feel, just because you feel differently doesn't make them daft

I understand, but surely not everyone?
 
4.8 Nice and cold outside.

Told the kids that Santa is self isolating so saved myself some money this year, there's always some good in a bad situation 😉.
 
A rather more regular 5.6 this morning. I don’t do a prick very often just before going bed, but last night registered an unusual 3.6. I pricked again, another finger, same result. I’m not sure what to make of it.

Have a great Christmas Day each and every one of you.

4.6 for me today. 🙂
Have the best Christmas you can under the circumstances.

5.3 this morning. Up late too - Shocking. Must try harder. Happy Christmas everyone. I have already had my best Present, the good BG reading, everything else is a bonus.

No snow here in Lytham, just bitterly cold.
 
Morning all and a Very Merry Christmas to you all!
A surprising 6.4 this morning after a very poor sleep.
No idea why!
Had an early present day with grandson yesterday before tier 4 looms tomorrow. He was delightfully excited and the time (albeit brief) went really well.
On our own today until this evening when our son returns from his first day back at work after furlough. He then works boxing day also followed by three nights!
He may be tired...

A Christmas blessing from Snowwy
 
Happy Christmas everyone.
5.6 for me this morning after a jelly baby an hour earlier to keep me on the straight and narrow.
@Bloden Can't believe you were so tantalizingly close to the hat trick. Would have been something really special to pull it off on Christmas day.... maybe next year!
@HenryBennett Could it be that you had a wee dram last night??? That can lower your levels.... it can stop the liver trickling out glucose whilst it deals with the alcohol.... or maybe you were just feeling really chilled. Out of curiosity, did you eat anything to bring it up? No reason that you should unless you are taking medication which can lower it to the point of being dangerous but just wondered if it came back up overnight itself or you helped it?
 
Good morning everyone and a Very Happy Christmas to you all. 6.1 for me today which I’m happy with after stew and dumplings yesterday, needed it as was very cold here. Will shortly be taking pressies over to my sons, so excited to see my grandson open his presents and then dinner out with them at Hangleton Manor. Will FaceTime our other grandchildren and take their presents up Tomorrow with masks on, standing in the conservatory to watch them open them, not missing that for anyone.
Enjoy your day all and stay well and Happy Birthday to baby Jesus xx
 
Merry Christmas to you all
A 5.5 this morning after a nice level line

Love the photo @MeeTooTeeTwo . So tall
Good Christmas presie @HenryBennett with the eyes all clear
Nice solution to mistake @mikeyB

Beautiful sky on this very cold morning. Perfect for a Christmas Walk.
A quiet day this year and enjoying the more relaxed approach.

Enjoy yourselves.
