Group 7-day waking average?

@freesia
Basically I had his shoes taken off just before Xmas a year ago as I find it difficult to exercise them all during the winter and he needs shoes whereas Reb and MeMe don't but I get almost no wear out of them so it is a waste of money and his hooves improve enormously if I give him the winter off... Then the pandemic hit and I decided that it would be foolhardy to risk a fall and injury when the NHS was so overwhelmed... and also having no one to ride out with made it even more risky.. I know these things still apply but I had also just had a fall from one of Ian's horses just after lockdown which I was lucky not to break my hip, so it made me more circumspect. Since my relationship breakdown I have reassessed things and decided that life is for living and my horses are getting older and so am I (Rebel will be 25 this summer and Rasc 24yrs... although he will be a juvenile delinquent until the day he dies....) so I just decided to bite the bullet, particularly as I was making good progress with Rebel. When I first bought them Rebel was a year old and Rascal was just 3 days old ... obviously still with his mother) and it was my ambition to drive them as a pair because they are well matched. I have still not achieved that and time is running out, so bringing them back into work, even though ridden at the moment is a start towards that goal..... it's kind of like a bucket list item. I have the harness and the vehicle, I just need to square them up!

Turned my wardrobe over for my Sticky Bum jodhs but could not lay hands on them, so had to manage without!... I mean with regular ones... I wasn't tempted to do the lady Godiva thing suggested a few weeks ago! 😉 😱
 
PS. MeMe is still sound at the moment thanks for asking.... long may that continue but not totally convinced I have seen the last of it yet. She had one 2 years ago that niggled on and off for a couple of months, so I am reluctant to say it is fixed just yet .

You are so right. I think that one thing this pandemic had made us think about is that life is too short and you have to make the most of the time you have and do the things you want to do. Go for it, hopefully it won't be long before you can drive them.

Fingers crossed it stays that way.

I am claiming a 4.4 this morning...
3.3 on the Libre which gave me a "LO" reading at 4.40am. Both times a finger prick showed 4.4 so not sure what is going on with this sensor! I was lying on my back when I woke up to that LO so shouldn't have been a compression low.... this is starting to knock my confidence in Libre a bit when the first 6 months of them was so good.
 
Morning all,
5.8 this morning.

Morning all. Sensor showed i'd gone hypo twice overnight, very unusual!!! It is a new sensor though, put on yesterday morning and activated 12 hours later. Anyway, 6.8 for me, finger prick confirmed 6.3.
In work today and training over zoom after work, going to be a long day
Have a good one
 
6.8 this morning
 
5.1 this morning.
 
Morning

Yet another absolutely Baltic Scottish morning with thick frost on the cars outside

7.9 for me and a pounding headache I've had for a few days now, stress, lack of sleep, dehydration are the main causes I think
xx
 
Morning all. :D 5.1 here, aided by a couple of Quality Street at bedtime. 😛It’s hypo central here atm, so going to try and sneak in a basal test today.

My latest stay-at-home obsession is knitting bobble hats, but I haven’t made one that I like yet...I’ll just keep on knitting until I’ve made the perfect one for me - lockdown should be over by then, shouldn’t it?! o_O:D
 
@Kaylz snap a 7.9 for me today. Busy day yesterday, actually got on my hands and knees to scrab the tiles in the utility room as my steamer didn’t take the worst if the dirt off. Too many mucky boots and paws in and out of there.
@rebrascora are the horses all yours or do you run a livery? They all sound such characters and glad you managed to get out on Rascal at last.
Have a good day everyone x
 
5.4 for me this morning. 🙂
Rain, rain & more rain. :-(

A 5.8 for me at 07:06 this morning. Dull and damp in West Berks this morning
