I agree, Think yesterday was the first day I thought Autumn is coming round to say hello!

Hark at you living in the Tropics, it's almost time to build a huge ice wall here.

Thanks Docb, I will try out your suggestions.

We used to have a great bike shop in town, Apple Bikes. Was there for as long as I can remember, but in this last year it sadly closed down.

Yes, Apple Bikes was very good. Noticed it had closed last time we had a wander around St Annes. Don't know why it finished.
 
Hmmm, gotta be first up this morning. Hopefully an exciting, fun day with my daughter and her daughter and a zillion other people at the birthday party.

BG 4.7 this morning, excellent.

Weight up to just above goal, excellent.

Just wrapped the final birthday present, excellent, except that my present wrapping is legendarily terrible. I get there but the process and end result are not good, which is odd for me, a perfectionist. I think it may be related to the fact that I know the wrapping paper will just be ripped off so I tend to not care as much, or maybe I just don't have the patience with selotape getting stuck in the wrong place, or on my finders or the end being impossible to find on the roll, or maybe its because nothing is a perfect aquare or rectangle so neat wrapping is impossible (for me). Still, its done now.

And what was it, this particular present? Well, its something that I know she adores....a whole punnet of raspberries !

App update yesterday went well and took all day of intense concentration to do. Already a useful update too.

Wife was ok, but starting to come apart at the edges when the stress of today became nearer and we had to discuss arrangements and travel. I think she will be ok, but unlike me, happy to wake up and get up at 4am she likes to sleep to at least 9am. I have to get her up at 7am today so we can catch the train to Preston. Me, I'm excited. She, none too happy with the thought of getting up early, going away from the house, strangers, etc etc.

Have a great day everyone.

Like many business during the lockdown maybe the wheels came off.



(I’ll go now….)

Here’s hoping it’s ok for all concerned. Cx
 
And in honour of Strictly obviously… 7.0 for me today
 
6.8 for me this morning at 5.30am, after a 2 unit correction of Fiasp at 1.30am for an 11.4 when I woke up too hot and uncomfortable. No evening Levemir again after I clocked up another 8 miles last night but thought I could also get away with an Options hot chocolate (usually needs 1.5 units) and some cheese followed by some lamb bolognaise (normally 2 units) without any Fiasp. I think it was probably the protein release from the mince which just pushed it too far as my levels were 8.3 when I got into bed at 9.30 and switched out the lights. Just pushed my luck a bit.
Also hypoed just now as DP/FOTF hasn't kicked in despite no evening Levemir to counteract it but injected Fiasp for it along with breakfast bolus when I woke up as I usually do.... Arrgh! My graph is all highs and lows and squiggly bits in the middle apart from the few hours after I injected that 1.30am correction and went back to sleep..... I'm a bit frustrated but it is the exercise which is upsetting the apple cart at the moment. Will hopefully get a handle on it soon. I have gone through a whole packet of JBs in a week and almost a whole packet of dried figs and half a packet of dried apricots trying to deal with the lows whilst I am walking, even though I have dialed my Levemir back.
Might split my walk into two smaller ones today.

@Gwynn Hope all goes well today and everyone has a lovely time at the party.
 
Morning all. :D Libre says 4.4 (but I suspect it’s higher - this new sensor is dragging its heels and reading about 2 below the finger pricker, ho hum).

It looks wild out there! Hang on to your toupees, ev1. 😛
 
7.8 and windy, chilly but sunny here in Pagham. Nothing of note to report.
@Gwynn wishing you well, hope all is a huge success.
Have a good day all.
 
Morning

8.7 for me, I'm fine with the higher levels for now as can be dropping a lot when I get out of bed at 5, its a right PITA
xx
 
5.3 this morning. 🙂
Bloomin' Tescos website has been playing up yesterday and today. Can't get to book a delivery 😡
Oh well, and the good news is got notified yesterday that we're getting £200 Winter Fuel payment.
Every little helps (as Tesco might say if you could get on to their site.)

Morning folks. A nice 6.3 on the finger pricker, my sensor came off after my bath yesterday with 36 hours to go! Damn! Prescription not through yet, touch wood it will be tomorrow.

Youngest daughter and family back home from their cruise holiday. They’re coming for a Sunday roast later. Can’t wait to see baby Zara, oh and my daughter and son in law of course! Apparently Zara has been a bit of a celebrity on the ship, everyone knew her name and she smiled at everyone. As everyone was waving at her, she’s also learnt to wave back. Ahhh!! Can’t wait to hear about their adventures.

That’s it folks, off to put the lamb in the oven and peel tatties! Have a fabulous day all. 🙂
Have a great birthday party @Gwynn. I’m also rubbish at wrapping presents, probably because I find it boring as heck. A gift bag is the way forward! Especially if it’s one I have lying around the house already. 😉
 
A better weekend for me with a 4.8 yesterday and a 5.0 today. Maybe it was the stress of the court hearing pushing me higher?
 
6.8 today. Got the munchies. Normally just have 50g muesli and an orange for brekkie, today 75g muesli orange and a slice of sourdough with real butter. Bit weird as we went out to dinner last night and I had whitebait and a slice of bread, and a couple of lamb chops with boiled crispy veg and 40g potatoes. No dessert as usual but a pint of Tanglefoot ale.
Can't seem to stop eating, normally not hungry. Hope it's not going to end up with the belt returning to it's old notches pre low-carb diet....
Bit cloudy but humid today 13deg in Poole.
 
6.8 so I'm okay with that, pretty average for me - but I do check BEFORE I use my steroid inhaler as that can mess it up some....use that twice a day. Nothing planned for today, could get rain so may not get a walk, but have the exercise bike to fall back on.

A right Mediterranean flat bread?
 
Breakfast. Eggs cooked in the Instant Pot.
Maybe a little wet for my preference but delicious and now only the liner, trivet, heatproof bowl, seal and lid to clean rather than just a bowl and saucepan

PS it’s quite a small plate honestly
