Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 6.2 for me which very quickly dropped to 4.4 as i got out of bed and went downstairs. Unusual, i'm not usually affected by FOTF.
@ColinUK your boss sounds good. Its nice to see you posting.
@Gwynn and @rosalindb congrats on the HS.
@eggyg, enjoy the BBQ and the family being round. Its so nice to be able to do that again.
Its going to be hot, hot, hot today so i need to get the ironing done this morning while its a bit cooler.
Have a good day whatever you are planning.

I like about an hour’s peace before they flounce downstairs demanding full Englishes!
You can definitely come to the BBQ( yes I’m hosting) if you bring some southern weather! Although looking at your forecast I might need the factor 30, this English rose skin doesn’t do 29 degrees! I’ll stick to our forecasted 19 and put a cardi on! PS you can still come but you’ll need your big coat! 😉

We’re spending a week in Alnwick in a couple of weeks. From what you’ve said we should pack for the same weather as here in the north east of the island of Ireland. I can’t get my tongue around Alnwick. How do the locals pronounce it?

I think it’s
An ick
If you check on Wikipedia it gives you the chance to listen to the pronunciation.

Can confirm that you lose the L and the W from Alnwick in the pronunciation so it sounds like Annick which would rhyme with panic.

7.2 for me this morning which again involved 2 corrections overnight despite basal increase last night. Need to give it a bit more tonight.
Our visit to Beamish Museum went really well yesterday and both boys were very well behaved... total stars! Arthur particularly took it all in his stride considering it was his first visit. They both coped very well with all the children coming up and petting them every time we stopped anywhere although I was a bit stressed as people don't realize that blinkered horses can't see them approaching from behind, so touching them unannounced can be dangerous and of course they can accidentally stand on little feet/toes that are too close because they can't see, so making sure children approached from the front and stroked their noses rather than running a hand along their sides meant I needed eyes in the back of my head! Thought Arthur might be a bit anxious about the noise and vibration caused by driving on the cobbles but he barely registered it and thought he might try to jump over the tram lines as we crossed them but again he acted like he had worked there all his life. I even practiced my coach horn blowing as we entered and exited the various locations like the town centre and the pit village..... only hit a very occasional bum note😳

@DuncanLord I wonder if perhaps you don't realize that your liver releases stored glucose day and night to keep your vital organs fueled in the absence of food. Part of the mixed insulin you inject is to cover that, but the liver doesn't release a fixed amount all the time. Some periods of the day it produces more and at other times a lot less. The insulin you inject is only ever a best fit and twice daily injections can be a very crude tool to try to achieve that balance. Clearly it is working well for you at the moment and the very minimal deviations you are concerned about are actually no deviation at all, I can assure you. I very much hope that this continues to be the case for you as I understand you are concerned about getting your license reinstated for your job but please don't worry about such trivial movement in your levels. The sort of erratic BG levels the DVLA are concerned about are going up to 15 and coming down to 3 in a matter of a couple of hours, not whether you vary by 0.8 over the course of an evening when you have not done anything much to change your levels.... that is well within the normal range and in fact none diabetic people may well vary considerably more than that. I would also not panic about getting the odd reading in the 4s. Again this is perfectly normal and non diabetic people can even drop below 4. The important thing as a diabetic is to be able to maintain your levels above 5 to drive.

I love Alnwick. An Ick. It’s a lovely little town. Alnwick Castle and the gardens are great. Lovely river side walk where you can see it if you don’t want to go in. The beaches on that coast line are fabulous. Bambrough Castle is a must as is Lindisfarne. Check the tide times, you don’t want to be stuck!
You’ll be spoilt for choice for things to do. Lucky you. But you’re correct, it’s the north and the North Sea, it’ll be bracing at times!
 
G'day all. 8.6 @ 6.46 better than the over 13 last week! o_O

Thanks for all that Good Egg, I’m looking forward to it. We’re spending a few nights in Peebles too on our way south.

And... don't forget a trip to Cragside at Rothbury which is not far from Alnwick. That place is absolutely amazing. Unfortunately the rhododendrons will be past their best now (they are stunning when in full bloom) but the house and grounds are nevertheless beautiful and I believe the site of the first water driven electric turbine. Armstrong was a genius! Considering the age of the house, I found the bathroom was not dissimilar to a modern day spa. The guy had fantastic foresight. Will also strongly recommend Wallington Hall particularly if you are into gardens, as well as Beamish Open Air Museum and Durham Castle and Cathedral if you are interested in travelling into County Durham.

Thanks too Barbara. We certainly love gardens. We’ve been to the Beamish and to Durham but all your other recommendations, along with Eggy’s, will go on my list. (We’ve also been to Lindisfarne.)

My wife has become totally OCD over her genealogy. She’s made all the bookings. Her family way back were part of the Plantation of Ulster and she comes from Viking and Border Reiver stock. I’m not sure where I might be dragged😉
 
Morning folks. 6.9 for me. Booked our 3rd attempt at a holiday, this time for next year, wonder if we will make this one, first attempt was booked in 2018 as some of you will know - let’s wait and see!! Off to work. Have a good day all x
 
Morning. 4.9 for me. I need a JB before breakfast or i'll not be able to drive to work. Where has the weekend gone?!
 
Morning all. A, not unexpected, 7.4 today. BBQs can do that to you! A good afternoon was had by all until rain drove us indoors. We’d stuffed our faces by this stage and finished our swing ball tournament ( I didn’t win, in fact I never hit the ball once!), so it wasn’t too bad. They’d all left by 6.30. Finally sat down at 8pm after being on the go since 7am!

I’d like to say I’m having a relaxing morning but I’m not, optician at 9am. Getting eye drops to look at my vitreous gel, basically large floaters, to make sure there isn’t any tears or detachment. Please keep all your fingers and toes crossed for me. :confused:

Have a happy Monday everyone. It’s raining here. Which is good, but will still take my sunglasses, I’m an eight hour eye dilated person. 😳
 
5.2 for me today. 🙂
