@ColinUK - I've not had any reaction to my second AZ jab so far, unlike the first one which left me feeling a little under the weather for a few days and pushed my levels up for a while.

Cold and dull here so far today and haven't seen the sun at all yet.

7.2 today on waking wish it would show a 6 at some stage
no accounting for the numbers not doing anything different
it drops during the day but waking up no chance, taking grandkids out
for a trip today take my mind off the 2nd jab of the Oxford I am due at 5.35
this evening I must admit I am a tad nervous about this with all the negative
vibes of blood clots I know, more chance of getting hit by a bus but it still
doesn't helpo_O

Hope it all went smoothly and you feel ok
 
@Clifton hope your case when well today, am fascinated by law and medical things. I used to work for a litigation solicitor and often did briefs to counsel on A3 paper to, I think, Temple Court, so interesting.
Sounds like you have a good work/life balance though, just need to keep your mum in order lol 🙂

My mum is a law unto herself - pardon the pun! She just called me to ask how my diabetes is and reeled off a bunch of acronyms. She also did a Boris Johnson and dodged all my questions!

Counsel briefs - Temple Court Chambers perhaps?

Case today was adjourned due to illness...wreaking havoc on schedules and my blood glucose levels from 5.2 to 7.1

Leave it with me. I will organise a BBQ with the OCG down at MFI ASAP! We’ll take it from there. 24 hour surveillance starts now. I’ve organised a AFO, ARU and a UCO. If he’s a bent boyfriend, Mary, Joseph and Jesus and the wee donkey, we’ll soon find out! 😛

Oh the Mary, Joseph, Jesus and the wee donkey really cracked me up. Hubby spat his tea out. Ted (Hastings! Although @KARNAK has some good sayings too) cracks me up - I hope he isn’t the 4th (wo)man ! Hastings not @KARNAK....before KARNAK worried !

Have you checked you have a tv/tv reception in Scotland! for Sunday !

It cracked us up too! When we found out the last episode was on the Sunday we were in Arran it was the first thing we said. Hope the TV reception is good. Apparently we have Wi-fi. I’m taking my iPad if we need to watch it on IPlayer.
I don’t want Ted to be H, or Kate or Steve.
 
LR came & I caught up on lost sleep as I didn’t sleep much since Monday! Just up & LR went in 2 hours & 40 minutes late as my phone had died! 😱 Plugged in to charge now & LR is in now. So, a rather bit higher 21:29 BS 8.8 but, not TOO unduly worried as it’ll do it’s thing & bring me down eventually. About to cook dinner & I know the after reading will be higher than target but, again, not unduly worried as it’ll come back into target range too eventually: might even save myself a test after & just test after 4 hours, active NR, to see where BS is at before adding any corrections?🙄

Phew! I feel SO relieved to have that LR finally! :D A Phew! emoji with a little drop of sweat over one eye!:D
 
5.6 at 05:55 for me. Better in the 5’s than 6’s.

We’ve had some rain overnight - the best time for it.
 
4.8 and sunny this morning. 🙂

Good morning. After Tuesday in the 12s all day, yesterday very low abd 3 hypos, i've woke to a 6.7. Fingers crossed for a better day today.
 
Morning. 7.9 for me today. I seemed to loiter around 10 all day yesterday, not sure why, let’s see what today brings. We’ve had some rain, but I’d really like some more...garden is very dry.

Hope you have a better day @freesia

Off to the dentist first thing...had new name on the reminder, so hope he’s as nice as the others.

Have a good day everyone.

My stepdad was 14 years younger than my mum and one year younger than my husband. Didn’t like him when mum was alive, don’t like him now. Only keep in contact because of my half sister. Families are funny things!!

@Clifton comment: "not helped by a phone call from my mother who tells me she has just started seeing someone 21 years her junior...I'm happy for her if she's happy but need to check the dude out! Dad passed 6 years ago and was 10 years her senior - so she's gone the other way!"

Spoiler Alert! Here's the other side of the coin.

I've often wondered why all the haters for step parents and suspicion for new partners of parents? I blame Disney myself, all those fairy tales about the wicked step-mother. Even the much loved "The Sound Of Music" had an element of step-mother hate. What's wrong with a mature adult with all their faculties in their latter years finding love again? With a younger or older person? Who's to judge? Why do children believe they know better than their adult consenting parent? Don't people want their parent to be happy?

Why are children, themselves often grown adult children settled with families of their own so opposed to it? Would they rather their widowed or divorced parent live alone and in misery for the rest of their natural lives, while they happily live their own lives? Is it about inheritance? Surely if a parent finds company again, is happy and frees their adult children from looking after them or being carers or having their own lives interrupted, that's a good thing?

In the UK we like to use care homes for our elderly parents, but elsewhere and on the continent like Southern Europe it's not unusual to see three or four generations living under the same roof or next door to each other. Some on here live with their elderly parent, which I admire. I wish I could still live with my lovely mum, now sadly deceased. Can't have it both ways. Why can't we just be kind, supportive and loving? Just saying.
 
A 5.5 this morning on finger jabbing at 0600.

Beautiful sunny morning and a jog with dog has just been completed down by the suspension bridge. Lawrence the Labrador enjoyed a sniff or 100 at the coffee shop as I sat outside reading more than enough about wallpaper gate and Boris the buffoon.

Dinner last night was a chicken casserole and melon, creme fraîche for afters followed by a sibling chat (brother, sister) on mother's new beau.

After the school run, off in the Morgan with my other half this morning, wrapped up as it's chilly, for a run through the highways and byways of rural Somerset, weather permitting for an al fresco bite to eat before heading into work mode for the remainder of the afternoon.

Tonight, local charity meeting where I'm a trustee and a late dinner back at chaos towers.

Got a text from surgery offering me a vaccine, so tomorrow I'm part of the club!

Hope everyone has a super Thursday!

No one is judging anything here, certainly not in this household. My mother is still a relatively young woman, an adult who can make her own mind up and everyone wishes her the very, very best, just as we would anyone else in a similar situation.

However, we know of a previous circumstance which causes our collective guard to be heightened which is a natural reaction.

When we have met this person, all of us will be more settled. It's called care and loving, for the absence of any doubt whatsoever.

This can be a superficial forum beyond the serious business of diabetes management where many things can be said tongue in cheek. Which this was.

Have a good morning @MAC2020
