Group 7-day waking average?

4.7 for me. Woke with a headache and it's raining.

Bored now with this shielding. Cant seem to motivate myself to do very much so work will be a welcome change - even though it's been so much easier to manage the diabetes during lockdown/shielding. Anybody else found that?

Ted I’m sure I can win hands down in the tourist stakes!
Between Easter and Christmas it’s chokka with tourists wherever you wander near here.

OH and I took the coach down to London last summer in the brief unlocked period and wandered round the City for a day. It was deserted, of course, and I saw so much more than when I worked there and traipsed across from Bank to just behind the Tower of London with the rest of the wage slaves every day. We made the focus of our day spotting the Wren churches, tucked down back streets between tower blocks, although we kept getting distracted with other stuff. But I've never spotted the animals heads going up the building in your first photo, where are they?
 
A wonderful 5.0 this morning but like @freesia (sending my sympathies) I had a shocker of a day with my levels yesterday including a really bad hypo in the afternoon (normally I can work through them but this one really took the wind out of my sails) and then rebounded and I stayed up most of the night carefully battling to get my levels down. Really don't understand what is going on!

@eggyg So sorry to hear you had a fall but pleased you had a lovely visit from Zara.

@ColinUK Loving the photos. No idea about any of them but I am intrigued and will be looking out for your follow up post with more info. So pleased that you have been managing to get out for walks and that your BP levels are responding. I am sure your BG will also show benefit from it as of course will your mental health and sleep quality. Why is it so difficult to motivate yourself (I am speaking rhetorically) to start doing it when it is enjoyable and has so many other benefits!! I seem to have lost ,my way with my motivation again.

@Gruers Try not to be too disheartened. As you say, they could be worse! What are your other BG readings like through the day, after meals etc.

Just found the back of The Rookeries which is a run of half a dozen original houses turned into a tiny boutique hotel.
The cattle mark the fact that it’s near where the drovers would herd cattle for the market.

I just realised that if I’m up at stupid o’clock I might as well go for a walk.
I’ve pledged to do the 1,000,000 steps thing for DUK and that averages out at 11,000 steps a day. Every day. So also thought I’d better start moving a bit more.

Hopefully it’ll help my sleep too. Eventually.
 
Behind the historic doors.... lurks something you might be chicken to find out more about.
 
@ColinUK just for you. Mr Eggy “only” took 180 photos yesterday, I kid you not. He got it down to 56 but I’ll just give you these three. Please excuse my lockdown locks! 😱

I’m going to be puzzling that one out all day now, (unless it’s in Poultry). You will have to enlighten us eventually.

The photos are in sequential order so definitely not in Poultry or even north of the Thames.
 
Aww what gorgeous photos and the most beautiful baby, so glad mum and Zara are doing so well xxx

Somewhere like The Clink prison museum then?

Oh, and I assume the tribute to The Archers on the Tower of London is the arrow slits in the walls?

The door is in that sort of area yes but it's not the Clink itself.

And zoom in a little closer on the Tower of London pic and see if you can find something....
 
Robin said:
Aha, just spotted the archer on the turret!

They've dotted a few of them around the Tower on various levels so that they give all round defence. Once I saw one I saw loads!
 
@Inamuddle lovely to see a post from you, sorry to see you haven't been getting on the best but we're here whenever you need xx
 
Anyone want to play a new game? It's called "Lets Guess What Kaylz Should Dose", I failed at breakfast, was 9.0 as you know, took 1.5u so 1u:21g carbs and had crashed to 5.5 3 hours later, today just winging it! xx

Hi everyone, was a little depressed and had no laptop for a while too. I am okay, thank you for asking xx

Is there anything we can do to help?
 
Bit late to this party...3 years late to the thread and late in the morning report.

So 6.7 for me this morning, downhill after that...ah well.
@Kaylz there are times when I think we could just pick a number out of a hat, within reason, and we’d have just as much chance of getting it right, then it all settles for what seems like no reason. Hope it does for you...very frustrating.

@ColinUK may I put a bid in for the New Forest in the tourist comp? Am fortunate to live where people want to come and visit and its usually no problem, but when lockdown eased last summer it was a nightmare. Queues of traffic to get here, cars parked dangerously along forest verges where measures are quite clearly put in place to stop cars parking. Litter, don’t get me started. Don’t put your toddler on the donkey...it’ll kick! Hopefully all will be a little more orderly this year ...fingers crossed.
