I’m not jealous at all @eggyg - Wastwater is such an eerily stunning place. Will you get to drive over Rhinose (?) Pass. It’s so steep! Have a lovely day. :D

Moooorning.😛 A pesky 7.8 here after a long-winded hypo before bed.

Enjoy that Friday feeling folks.😎

We’ve done Wrynose once and I vowed NEVER again! We actually had to stop to help a poor family who had got stuck on one of the corners! What a carry on. The driver, a man, was clueless so Mr Eggy had to get in the car and move it for him!
We’ll just be going by Cockermouth and the west coast today. Much more pleasant. No doubt if I mentioned Wrynose Mr Eggy would jump at the chance to do it in the Jag. 😱
 
@Clifton
You can't leave us hanging in suspense and I know you want us to ask 😉 .... so I will save anyone else the trouble....
What is the new car you are getting?
Hope you have a great birthday weekend celebration.
 
A 5.1 for me at 06:15 this morning. Clear blue skies in West Berks but very cold with frost on the grass when I walked over to let the chickens out. I keep thinking I should get the shorts out again but I reckon it is still a bit chilly. Mind you, my son is back in summer uniform with Bermuda shorts so maybe I should be brave

I went out in shorts yesterday afternoon. It was a bit nippy still.
 
@eggyg Just cut to the fun stuff and get him to do Hardknott instead!
 
6.6 this morning really happier today but heads bad . Small improvements I’m improving and getting so much info here it’s really great.

Thank you very much for the wishes!

Well. In mitigation our other car is a family people carrier and eco-friendly too. Also, my other half can drive the new one too, whenever she wants, in case anyone was concerned.

It's a Morgan Plus 6...for fair weather days if we have any!

My penance is the VERY early Monday morning train back to the Big Smoke!

OMG that is such a beautiful car. We used to have a TR4A with hard and soft hoods but a Morgan was a dream. Hope you thoroughly enjoy it - how could you not 🙂

Surprised to see a 4.9 pop up on the meter this morning. Haven't been that low on waking since January. Thought about switching hands and doing another test, just to be sure, but decided No - I'll take it.

Another lovely day here in Berkshire but still not very warm, though thankfully not as cold as yesterday as the wind has dropped. Our garden thermometer is still in single figures as I type.

Busy day ahead - fruit & veg run out to the garden centre shortly, then I have to pick up some items from LIDL and then ALDI. Why both you may ask? Have to do both as it's own-brand items we need.

However, highlight of the day is my second jab this afternoon...!

Have a good Friday, everyone.

Martin

A 5.5 for me this morning.

The minute @Clifton mentioned "mid life crisis" I immediately thought Convertible, How lovely!

Exercise has an impact on BG levels up to 48 hours afterwards. If you are managing to get regular ideally daily exercise, it has a progressively larger impact, so it may be that you are starting to see the benefits of exercise reducing your insulin resistance and so lowering your readings. I hope those readings help to motivate you to keep going. You are doing all the right things so keep at it and I look forward to you posting a waking reading in the 5s soon. :D
 
I was yes I too look forward to the fives I am so happy that what I am doing is not going bad As no medication I was fearing it skyrocketing and back to what I was . However I have stopped the bad food well ones even a numpty would say would set sugar off but I did not even realise how many I did have. I am also moving more and that is something. Read someone can run and another walk five miles so I’ve targets to aim for . I got around the park and gave been out everyday this week. Doing more indoors hubby says too. I slept better last night. Just got to rid the head pain. Maybe if my sugar evens it will be awesome.
