Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning - 5.3
 
Morning

6.8 for me today, managed a 4k run yesterday evening, it was so hot and muggy I jst couldn't push myself for the full 5k, then sweated my through my yoga session.

We have had some rain this morning, although by the time I brought the washing in it had stopped, so think it lasted all of 3 mins, however more is forecast for today.

@eggyg - how lovely you were able to meet up and have scones.
@ColinUK - sorry to hear your appointment got cancelled.

I’m laughing to myself here. Just re read my original post and I’ve put that the ground is hard like a dessert! Just to make it clear I don’t mean a flapjack but meant desert! That’s surely a diabetic faux pas if ever I saw one! :rofl:

LOL! Didn't see that before I posted the above!
 
Morning all...grey and overcast but boy did it rain in the night! It absolutely lashed down, it was so loud that it woke me up, good thing as the bedroom windows were open. By the time we got them closed I had to get a towel to mop up the windowsill. It was a real downpour and continued for ages. More forecast for early afternoon, perhaps I will make inroads to that pile of ironing now it's a bit cooler.

5.9 after a rubbish night. Woken firstly by Libre at 00:58 with a 3.7 (tail end of dinner Apidra methinks) and
again at 4 am with the rain and then kept awake for ages by the noise.

Watched the first two episodes of Celebrity Masterchef last night. Howled with laughter at Kae's Isles Flottantes, which looked like the dog had been sick. However the stuffed and deep fried courgette flowers took me back to a wonderful memory of sitting in the garden of La Magnanerie hotel in Villeneuve les Avignon and having stuffed courgette flowers for the very first time. Absolute heaven! Why do we not see more of them on British menus? @eggyg and the others who grow em.. now there's an idea for you!

@ColinUK so sorry to hear your appointment has been cancelled. I have this mental pic of a physio on the phone saying things like "raise the right femur and push your thumb deep into the sacroiliac nerve" whilst the patient is going "Huh?"

Oh and what a lovely interlude you had @eggyg and @rebrascora... it's lovely to meet in person isn't it?

Like that chocolate mousse that got forgotten in the back of the fridge?

Not likely in my house!

Morning all. 🙂 4.9 here.

Scone, scone, who cares how it's pronounced? I want one NOW! :D😛 Glad to hear you had a fab get-together @eggyg and @rebrascora. Blanchland looks amazing, like stepping back in time, not a uPVC window in sight, lovely.

I once, many years ago tried to stuff a courgette flower. Not as easy as it sounds or looks! I’ve just got home and been out already to pick a courgette, I don’t like them getting too big, and because of the rain all the flowers have been knocked off.

Blanchland is stunning but because of all the gabbing I didn’t get any photos! I think Mr Eggy got a few. The pub was absolutely amazing, very dungeony.
 
Well, it was 9.9 for me this morning. I was putting off posting because I have been battling to get my levels down so I could have breakfast as I like to post whilst I am sitting eating breakfast, but it has taken till now to come down and I got distracted and missed the boat, so I'm now hypo and still no breakfast, but posting whilst I wait for hypo to resolve and then will have to wait again for Fiasp to work. Had a very late walk last night and a full muck out so really hoped my evening basal of 2.5u would be enough. I was so tempted to put in 1 unit Fiasp correction at bedtime for a 7.9 that was clearly rising slightly but I was good and resisted the temptation.... wrong decision on this occasion:(. I was a sleepy head this morning so late to inject my Levemir which hasn't helped the situation.

Had an absolutely lovely meet up with @eggyg.... and Mr Eggy of course..... poor soul, he had to put up with us yaking but I imagine he is used to that having lived in a household with a wife and 3 daughters! 🙄 Can't wait for our next meet up now that we have set that ball rolling. I dread to think what the other patrons thought of us sharing our "dope" as we weren't as discrete as we might have been but we didn't get thrown out so all good and well worth it for the scones. Think that was one of the best scones I have had ever and it wasn't even a cheese one!... I imagine the wonderful company and setting had a positive impact on my enjoyment of it though:D Sadly I paid for it afterwards with a whopping 16.4finger prick reading.... still worth it!😉

10.2 but that would be thanks to the eating midle of the night.

Yesterday evening I was seemed to plumbtering. I had biscuit (I eat the busult when I was 4.8 which was when I was just checking anyway) a I one one sweet I noticed I was really dropping after I ate the bisut so would need something faster so that's when I had the sweet thinking I that would do it it didn't the hypo still came) so needed to treet again So was not really surprising I shot up to 15.3 by bed. Gave myself 1 and half units woke up couple of hours letter so though I better check it was 5.2 so had biscuit. Woke up again at 2.45 so checked again and 4.7 that's when I ate a biscuit and a few Stickers(so over did a bit this time) I sis wake again at around 4 or 4.30 but didn't check this time perhaps I shoud have. Half done half a unit correction



Anyway got a gastonogist appointment unfortunately have to travel for it decided I'm going to treet myself to brackfast at the trian station. Thinking am almond croissant and a flat white.

So some good news this doctor has actually aregeed the look inside tests(not the technical term I know ) finally a doctor that's listen to me)
 
Morning all. 5.9 on this positively fresh morning. It’s lovely after the oppressive heat we’ve had, I for one are grateful and I had a much better sleep for it.

Back home and back to the grind today, Ah well, it was nice whilst it lasted. Car to be dropped off at 9am for her service, MOT and two new tyres! Expensive day. It makes me laugh to think that one tyre for our car costs as much as we paid for our first car in 1978! TBF it was a nine year old, rusty in parts, Ford Escort, and we bought it on HP at £15 a month. We had a paying in book and I had to go to Barclays on the first of the month and pay it. Obviously SOs and DDs weren’t a “thing” then. Happy, carefree days, soon to be replaced a year later with becoming a home owner and having a mortgage! That was a bit more expensive than £15 a month! :rofl:

Have to dash, holiday washing to do and a gingerbread and ratatouille to make. One for tonight’s tea and one for the kids when they all land on Friday. It will be lovely and sticky by then. Yummy.

Have a great day. 🙂
 
Morning all, 5.8 here. Oh bliss, 2cm of rain yesterday, in 3 separate steady downpours so it all soaked in, and with any luck the water butt on the shed at the bottom of the garden will have some water in, so we won’t have to lug full watering cans all the way down the garden to the thirsty veg.
 
Good morning. 7.2 for me. Its a busy day today, food shop this morning then physio this afternoon.
I had a much better nights sleep last night. It was so much cooler with the rain.
Have a good day whatever you are doing.
 
Morning 10.2 but had moved around quite a bit before testing and had a couple of some glugosr tablets at 3 o'clock this morning as I was 4.4
 
5.1 for me today. 🙂
And, yes, back to our more temperate climate.
