Group 7-day waking average?

[janw]

back from the torture session ouch is all i can say about that little escapade i feel like i've been used as chew toy by a whole team of rugby players.
i'm not sure if i've said thank you to lovely lot im super grateful for the encouragement and the cheers when things are going in the right direction this thread has made me realise that no man is a island and we can all do with asking for a little help and guidance from time to time . i've spent a few years in the wilderness i coming back slowly getting the help i need letting people back in and accepting that i can't do this on my own, i picked up my camera today and i actually took some photos something i've not done since my wife passed away three years ago.
sounds silly but tis a big thing for me im finding me again and its pretty special anyways ill stop with the hyperbole and i`ll go climb back in my box lol
you guys are awesome
that is all ........
oh if it's ok with you guys i'll keep on posting the pics of the hellhound i have files of photos that have never seen the light of day lol
keep smiling you awesome folks you !!

Whatever helps you get back to being you is totally fine with me, we all get lost to some degree throughout our life and trying to be strong with no help is something we think we can manage, but at times we do need other people. Not for them to do anything but "be there", encouraging us, a shoulder to cry on or lean on, to show us we are not alone and someone is watching out for us. A smile, a wave, a thumbs up can speak louder than words. As for me, I love dogs - have a crazy, sock-thieving cocker here, 10 years old but who sometimes thinks he is still a pup, though he seems be getting more verbal towards us as each year passes (7 years we have had him, our beautiful rescue) - he can be so demanding!!! So yes, please show your photos of the "hellhound" as that would be a joy to see. 🙂

13:11 BS 8.2 Still, a bit disappointing but, pills, 86 Tresiba & 54 NR in for Breakfast mark 2! Which is going to be gobbled once I’ve posted: trying a bit of pre bolusing! 🙄

A Very Good Afternoon to you all! 😉

About to enjoy a day of Masters golf! 😛😎😉

im not sure about golf you know it seems like a waste of perfectly good walk and then there's the whole whack the ball in a straight line thing and then go whack it again im sure golf was invented as a way to exterminate moles lol

I can’t do two things at once: hit it straight or hit it hard; tried it & a LONG queue backed up behind me on the par 3 9 holes at Portstewart as I took more 6 or 7 whacks at each hole & STILL not in! 😳

I can’t help being a golf nut, though as a lot of us on The Causeway Coast are! There are so many absolutely gorgeous golf courses along the coast AND Northern Ireland is a SUPERPOWER in golf, don’t you know? 😛😎😉

Good morning everyone. A disappointing 7.9 for me after a very low carb (and not much protein either) evening meal and a very exertive day yesterday shifting manure and a 2 JB hypo at 9pm leading me to assume a 1 unit Levemir reduction last night might be a good idea but clearly not. I needed 2 stacked corrections before bed totaling 3 units and I have jabbed another 2 this morning.
Need to do some hoof trimming again today so my poor grumpy back will get some more work! I'm with both you and your brother @Bloden "Use it or lose it" yes, but it doesn't half complain when you use it!

@sg295 Sorry to hear you have been struggling again. I hope the referral goes through smoothly and you get the support you need. Good to see you posting again though.

@Elenka_HM Shame you can't get more time off work for your family visit but hope you are able to spend a great weekend with them and stock up on lots of hugs. The world needs more hugs!

@GRIFFINLONEWALKER Count me in for the group "WOOP WOOP" Congrats on dropping into single figures. You are doing great.

@TinaD Feeling your sleeplessness. Hope the foal comes soon. My mare always used to like to wait for wet weather.... and usually me having an unavoidable appointment somewhere. I always wondered if it was a primitive thing where the rain dampens the scent at a time when the foal is most vulnerable, so the safest time for it to be born.

Hi @rebrascora

Thanks for the message.

Gp signed it off last night so hoping for a speedy process and that I’ll get an appointment at the new place soon. Just felt like I wasn’t really being listened to or taken seriously so wanted to go elsewhere that has a very good reputation for diabetes care 🙂

@janw My daughter gets massive eczema flare ups and we rotate between steroid cream that she got from the docs and child's farm moisturiser.
She gets irritated by like everything but this one is fine for her. (amazon link for ref) but boots do it too.
Was recommended by one of my friends with severe eczema.
I know its not necessarily eczema but might be something for your arsenal that wont irritate things more and it defo moisturises nicely.

Loving the pics of all your hellbeasts.

I do believe that Asda sell some of those products, I'm pretty sure that is the make my daughter uses for the princess' hair conditioner, so I can take a look tomorrow. Just checked online and this is the one Asda do (possibly Tesco too)

Childs Farm Baby Moisturiser with Shea & Cocoa Butter​

Thank you 🙂

Our crazy moggie. She was a rescue cat; she was born and lived for 3 weeks on the roof of a 3 storey building in a shopping centre before being taken in by Cats Protection.

Hi Elaine - just nudging in here. I have had problems with my feet (Mortons Neuroma) from climbing Kilimanjaro - my friend says I donated my feet to charity! Anyway I was advised to get boots with nice wide toes and when I was in Keswick a few years ago I bought a pair of Altberg G-fit - they are BRILLIANT! Comfy from the word go and don't pinch my toes at all.

Just back from boot shopping and mud sliding errr I mean walking in the beautiful Eden Valley. Not a good day. But that’s another story.
I settled on Salomon boots after trying on loads. Including Scarpa and Merrill. Too wide and heavy. Pleased with my choice. I was in for ages! I also got a new pair of walking leggings, they’ve a side pocket! I’m beyond excited.
Good for you climbing Kilimanjaro. What an achievement, I’m far too old and decrepit to do anything like that now. I’ll stick to plodding about the Lake District fells and the Scottish Highlands. I must admit I was quite chuffed that the young girl in Go Outdoors thought I was going to/be able to climb Ben Nevis when I told her we were going to the Fort William area for our holidays.

She's beautiful! Bubbles was 3 when Bruce took him on, his old owner didn't really give a toss and posted him for sale on a local Facebook page, I snapped him up for Bruce as could't bare to think where he might end up after just being posted on FB, no home checks or anything xx

Yippee dee doo dah! Flagging, tired & can’t last much longer despite Rory McIlroy not even through the front 9 yet being the last group who started at 19:30 BST but, a very happy bunny on two fronts:- 1 it may have started high today with 2 over 11’s & having to add corrections but, I got the hang of it with lunch & dinner that were BANG ON! 2 I’ve got to hand it to Tiger Woods who played very well today with 2 MAGICAL shots of the vintage Tiger magic to finish at -1 just 3 shots off the lead, at the moment, but, it was a Tiger I’ve never seen before!😛 First off he can’t bend down as low on the greens before putting, studying the breaks of the green, he has to keep stretching, arms crossed behind his back & bending his upper body forwards, to keep from stiffening up while waiting for the marshals to wave their flags for him to play when those ahead have moved off & after watching him play since 2000 at St, Andrews & being nervous of him missing right with his tee shits, especially with the driver EEK!, his weak side when he misses is now the left where he missed it 3 times today! He didn’t use his driver at all today & he didn’t go for any big drives but, played smart! But, his best **** of the day, for me, was a vintage Tiger high iron tee shot on the par 3 6th hole that was JUST short of the hole: he said his favourite shot of the day, in interview afterwards, was his long 30 foot putt for Birdie on the par 3 16th hole with all the patrons so close to him on the green all cheering for him!😛😎

Here’s my day on mySugr & I may not stay up to test after dinner but, hopefully it’ll be decent when I wake later as I’ll be off to dreamland soon?

Good morning 🙂 6.7 for me today 🙂

 

[Griffin.]

7.6
Good morning all.
Freezing my my extremities off its minus three on the temp gauge I had to get up and put more blankets on the bed last night and I've put a extra layer on getting up and making coffee this is pretty rubbish having to decide whether to heat the house or eat I'm tempted to turn the heating on and just bask in the warm glow of the central heating but i can't I've got the walking hot water bottle and some thermal underwear and a hot water bottle. Feeling the squeeze is a understatement I may have to sell my car
Anyways whine over hope every one has a amazing friday stay warm stay safe.

Good morning everyone

A bit down this morning. Couldn't get out for a walk yesterday because of the persistant rain, wind, extreme(ish) cold.

BG 4.5 this morning. Seems to be on the lower side recently. Mind you I got a 3.8 the other evening and that is getting too low. I wonder why. All I have done recently is to significantly reduce butter, stop any form of alcoholic drinking, increase exercise (except yesterday), started taking Allicin (for cholesterol lowering), started taking plant sterols (cholesterol lowering)

Had the heating off as an experiment yesterday. Not much fun. 15.0C is too cold. Put it back on this morning.

My wife made some bread in the new-ish bread maker. Lovely bread everytime. The electricity cost showed just 7.5p (quite surprising) and it takes 4 hours to do its thing. Very good value, except, between us, we seem to devour it rather quickly. Shop bought bread lasts so much longer (but is so bland/boring in comparison)

Good news, my one remaining friend has suggested that we go for walks together. I will certainly take them up on the offer. Shame my wife cannot cope with them (or anyone) coming to the house, and never comes walking (won't leave the house unless desperately needed).

Have a great day today whatever you are doing

7.6 today. Off to daughters this morning then going to pop to Tesco’s as I noticed they had some nice summer dresses, may get a couple for holiday. Then off to Sains for weekly shop and this evening off to see my friend for a good old natter. Bath soon but best use half the water I normally do.
Have a good day all x
