I think it was good luck rather than by design!
Aaarrgh!! By the second attempt i had 4 greens, only the last but one letter to get. It still took me 5 attempts as there were too many choices. Well done on getting it on the third.

Phew! That’s a relief! 🙂 Hospital just called me & blood tests are on Tuesday 06/09 at the hospital ahead of my appointment on Thursday 08/09.
I’ve doubled my puffs, 4 instead of 2 twice a day, of inhalers since last evening as I realised how bad it’s been: tiny higher pitched tones under my breath when I’m at rest; didn’t notice it before & yesterday’s wee bit of pacing, only a couple of steps back & forth, drew my attention to it! Too soon yet to notice any improvement but, hopefully the breathing will get easier?

Afternoon
It was 6.something when I got up at 6 so took a gamble and had 3 lifts, 45 minutes later and was down to 4.8, now as the day goes on it's on a rise again
The sofa, cooker and fridge freezer were due today between 2pm-6pm, Bruce was originally going to be working until 12 and then coming back but due to the buses he decided on Monday (after his bus didn't turn up to get him to work again) that he'd ask Craig if he could just have the whole day off for safety sake, good job seen as the Argos delivery folk phoned before 12 saying they would be there in 10-15 minutes! Gas man was also due after 2pm and he had been and gone by then as well! Pretty p'd off as an Argos CS assistant said the guys would take the packaging away with them but they haven't and with an ongoing waste service strike we're all struggling!
Anyway today I've used my won £25 spend on the wax site and bought 5 snap bars and 10 elephant shapes with it, also got a message on FB from a lass that contacted me at the beginning of the month asking if I wanted a sample bag of another vendors wax asking for my address as it was ready, I'd totally forgotten about it as it was all before we even knew about signing for the new house! Also got curtains ordered so will be looking for curtain poles tonight when Bruce gets here xx

I remember expecting an electricity chap and they had said afternoon and they literally meant after noon as I suddenly realised and rush back from work to find them sitting outside drumming their fingers at 12.02pmAfternoon

Whereas I usually regard afternoon as being after 1 or even 2pm
It sounds as if you are getting everything sorted for your move in. It's nice to have new stuff as it makes it feel that it's your choice not just the things that were chosen by others, however grateful one might be for them.

Our last heating service a few weeks ago was supposed to be afternoon but the guy turned up before 11, we've had that before but they have phoned to ask if it's OK first not just turned up like he did
Bruce's sofas were 2nd hand when he got them when he moved into his flat years ago so they really are past their best and he didn't have a cooker (he's always here for tea) and only had a countertop freezer which fits a turkey and that's about it lol, we wouldn't be getting new if we didn't need to
Now trying to contact Scottish Power yet again but if yesterday is anything to go by then I won't hold my breath 🙄 xx

Morning all. 6.2 on this very lovely autumnal morning. Now I’m going to really annoy you. I only went and got another unicorn day yesterday.😛 What’s the chances? I was on 100% just before teatime and I was determined I wasn’t going to spoil it, it was touch and go as I had to totally estimate my bolus as it was fishcakes ( homemade so no carb info), noodles ( info for them) and homemade sweet chilli sauce. But I was spot on as I was 7.6 at bedtime and that’s a number I’m comfortable with before I go to sleep, and no snack needed, thank goodness, as I hate eating at that time of the night.
Today we’ve got guests for lunch, middle and youngest daughters, eldest grandchild and youngest grandchild. Mr Eggy is firing up the pizza oven again, forecast good. I won’t be having pizza, nothing at all to do with being diabetic, I’m just not a pizza lover at all. It’s only bread with cheese and tomatoes after all. And I hate that greasy cheesy topping.Not my thing at all. I’ll have crackers with pâté or nice dry cheese.
Have a great 1st September. Wow! How fast has that gone by?

Note for yesterday - 31/8/22
After a very disturbed night 8.0. I woke just before 2:00 with really bad phantom pain and took a Gabapentin. After over three hours trying to take my mind off the pain I took a different pain killer and drifted off as it became light. I woke about 7:45 feeling drained!

Good morning. 5.7 today. Didn't sleep particularly well though and woke early. I think I might go into work early rather than risk dozing off again which is possible if I sit too long!

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
Noticeably a wee bit better: no longer making teeny tiny wheezes, that’s what the odd higher toned note was, under my breath at rest that I didn’t notice while watching The Legends or Zhao Yao: as to stamina; it’s about 50 to 70 steps around the house right now which is one trip to kitchen & back to my bedroom! 🙄 Will continue on double puffs, 4 puffs on each inhaler, the brown & the blue!🙂
Now on my 4th round of Zhao Yoa: prefer the Chinese name because it’s SO much more fitting; the female lead protagonist’s name means ostentatious; BOY! isn’t she just! 😱 A MASSIVE hit in China: mixed reviews globally outside China; some westerners still don’t get this genre! The episodes are actually very varied in length from 30 minutes to 40 without the credits: I DID think I was going through the episodes VERY fast!
I’m loving it but, even I, in italics, who grew up on a diet of this stuff find the switching back & forth in timelines, no sepia tones or any visual clues to help out here, is a bit confusing: that’s the general consensus globally; the ending wasn’t great either! I, in italics, got it as I grew up on this stuff: others found it confusing; not realising it was a happy ending! I actually think they should have ended it an episode earlier on a tragic ending!
Some are indeed saying just that! 🙄 Because of that I wouldn’t recommend this drama unless you know this genre of historical fantasy kung fu, & definitely magic on this one, as you’ll be doing some serious head scratching! I’m not even going to explain the plot: not 100% straight on that myself; yet & hence the rewatches!🙄 I wonder how many rounds before I get the plot all straight in my head?
So, I actually preferred Arsenal Military Academy better! It’s just weird and interesting comparing the global & China’s consensus of these two dramas! One is a massive hit in China & mixed reviews globally & the other isn’t a hit in China & a massive hit globally!
I really do recommend AMA as the production across the board was excellent: was China’s flagship drama for the PROC 70th anniversary; incredible, beautiful costumes of the Edwardian, or as I think of it The Titanic, era with a touch of Chinese styling in the Mandarin collars! The soundtrack is the best & most extensive as well: 4 of the 5 songs are sung by cast members which makes them more meaningful; a wide range of cultures reflected in the music from Tchaikovsky, Bizet, Japanese geisha, Spanish revolutionary guitar & American ragtime!
Incidentally ragtime was the precursor to the jazz of the 1920’s which sounds distinctly different from the jazz of the 1930’s & later: 1920’s jazz is about the trumpet specifically, the cornet; 1930’s & later jazz is about the saxophone! American Ragtime was a precursor to both types of jazz in the Edwardian era & features both the trumpet & the saxophone!
It’s just ironic that AMA wasn’t a hit in China & a massive hit globally outside for the wrong reasons: NOT for political and patriotic reasons that is forefront; but, for the comedy & incredible chemistry of the male & female leads! 🙄

Oh my! Where do i start!? Yesterday i was in target until tea time. We went out with friends for a curry so i worked out the carbs and correction and split the dose. Now, i often have a rise after a curry so we planned to walk home however last night i had dropped to 7 going down fast so we accepted a lift back. By the time i got home i was dipping into hypo so i treated that and it stabalised. Phew, i thought, that was close. By the time i went to bed though i was still only 5 so i had a spoonful of peanut butter which usually raises me and keeps me steady. Not last night. The high alarm woke me at 10.5 about an hour later and i assumed it was the treatment of the hypo and went back to sleep.
This morning, i woke to 20.5!!!!!!!! The librr graph shows i've been close to 24 overnight!!!! I've never been that high after going out for curry before. Hopefully the 5u correction i've just had will kick in quickly.

Good morning. Lovely clear, crisp, start to the day after a good night. 5.3 for me today.
Spent yesterday afternoon down at a tiny cove, Cwmtydu, watching seals share the sea with the odd bather. Older grandson most disgusted that I had not taken a swimming suit but saved face by having taken a coast reference book with fine pictures of jelly fish. Whew!
Happy to report pain levels subsiding this morning and a very welcome lower bg.
Looking forward to rain at the weekend as I am resolutely not watering the garden. Most things are holding out but the hydrangeas look pretty miserable. If this is going to be the future weather pattern anything not drought tolerant may as well give up now and get replaced. Rowan is building up a cactus collection - he may well have the right idea!
Hope everyone has a good day.
