Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone

BG a whopping 5.5 this morning :D nowhere near the 'required' HS

All seems a bit calmer here.

The sweet and sour chicken with beansprouts and mushrooms went down a treat again. This time I took some photos. It's quite a challenge prepping, cooking, serving and photographing. I think the final presentation leaves a lot to be desired. Regardless of that it tasted stunningly good. (See pic)

The mushrooms were not a great quality being a bit older and rather jaded and the beansprouts were not as fresh as I would have liked and result was a poor lump of both...still tasted great though.

Today nothing planned (as usual). It's not really 'me' but in order to keep the home safe and calm for my wife and to accomodate her need not to venture out or entertain visitors, I end up planning very little. At least I have a friend who regularly takes walks with me.

Here's a couple of pics (as I say, 'presentation is everything' score 1/10. Sod that, how about 'taste is more than everything' score 11/10.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Morning all. 6.3 today. It’s a bit dull and forecast for light rain. It’s been a glorious week so I’m not too bothered.

Yesterday turned out to be an absolutely exhausting day, poor little Zara isn’t well, she is full of cold. Coughing, runny nose and sneezing. She was really out of sorts yesterday and just wanted me all day. She kept asking for her mummy and going to the front door, even her cousins, who she adores, couldn’t entertain her. By the time all four had gone home, the farmers’ children at 4.30 and Zara 5.30, I was fit for nothing. Mr Eggy went to the chippy! Shared a portion between us. Was about 20 minutes after finishing eating that I realised I hadn’t bolused! Luckily, I don’t pre bolus for fish and chips and quite often split my dose, so all ended well. 😳 No spikes at all, a nice smooth line.

We’ve no childcare now for two whole weeks, as farmers’ children back at school on Wednesday and Zara’s mummy having a week off work to prepare for our weekend away to celebrate her 30th birthday ( which is tomorrow). A quiet few days ahead. And relax! 🙂

Have a great day all. 🙂
 
Good morning 6.5 today, which was a relief as I did overdo some confectionary snacking yesterday

Have a great weekend everybody 😎
 
Morning all. 8.4 with the new sensor, 8.3 with the finger prick so its shaping up to be a good one so far. I went for lunch and a walk yesterday with a friend. Despite having the full amount of insulin before the walk, i still reached 14s! Since Wednesday night i've struggled to stay in single figures. Fingers crossed it'll start going back down as its made a big mess of my TIR.

Nothing planned for today apart from cleaning and dusting and getting some washing up to date before next weeks rain forecast.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning

5.9 today

Curtains were supposed to be delivered yesterday but they only reached Glasgow last night (DPD) shipped on Wednesday

Received the wax I chose with my £25 spends and also 3 sample gifts in it too (RM 1st Class) shippedreceived_610412640591536.jpeg Thursday xx
 
6.6 for me this morning, so a one unit basal reduction and then a 1 unit correction with Fiasp for a reading in the 7s at bedtime that had been drifting slowly upwards for an hour was the right decision. Jabbed my Levemir and breakfast bolus this morning and then went back to sleep for 20mins and woke up on an even better 5.7 with just enough time to throw my breakfast together have my fibre supplement drink and and make my coffee. Dropped to 4.8 but now back up to a nice 5.6
Off to a local show today with the lads. Hope weather holds out as rain is forecast later in the day.

Pleased to report my TIR is up to almost a personal best at 96% for the last 7 days with 3% below and 1 above. My break from Libre has obviously done me good.

Gone off the boil with Wordle this morning. Took me 4.
 
7.8

Went out for lunch yesterday and had cauliflower shawarma which was absolutely delicious.

Fell off the wobble board in the evening whilst watching the LOTR series opener which means my ankle really hurts today. And that’s clearly impacted BG.

Finished designing my character for D&D though and gave him a name.
He’s Tyraxon Dante after a medieval French dragon myth (Tarasçon) and Edmund Dante, The Count of Monte Christo, which is still one of my favourite books. I’ve read it probably three times, the unabridged version of course. It’s bonkers and includes basically vampires and quite a bit of bonking all of which the Victorians removed. I like his moral indignation and drive to correct the wrongs done to him.

He’s part dragon/part man. No wings or tail. Basically he’s got the size of a dragon but all of the insecurities of a man. He’s also a bit thick.

This is how I’ve designed him. No idea why he’s got a bird in the hand but it just seems to fit.

08:14 BS 7.3 🙂

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

I’m learning some Spanish now on rounds 5 of watching Zhoa Yoa! o_O:D🙄:rofl:

Why? I hear you ask! Well, I did say the timeline was jumping back & forth a lot with no visual clues: found out it’s because all the English subtitled videos I’ve found on youtube & other websites have made a mess of editing the videos; spliced together the ends of the previous episode to the beginning of the next with the opening titles, suppose to start each episode, being at various places in the middle! I discovered the Spanish playlist on youtube yesterday & everything is in the right order that makes sense with the opening titles to open each episode like they’re suppose to! o_O😱


It took me until round 4 of the messed English subtitles to work out things in my head & now it’s nice to SEE it in that order albeit with Spanish subtitles as my “ear” is on it now so, don’t need ANY, for most of it & my memory for the rest! BUT, the Spanish is there so, making use of it to learn some! 🙄:rofl:

Apparently Zhoa Yoa was only supposed to be 28 episodes but, it was such a massive hit in China that they started to expand it to double that so, there are actually various English versions with messed up edits of either 55 or 56 episodes all messed up in different orders so, all the English versions, I’ve found & watched bits of, require a lot of head scratching because some is from the original shorter version & some from the expanded version!

The Spanish one is the expanded 55 episodes version but, in the right order! o_O

This reminds me of JJ Abrams “Lost” that was expanded a lot in a hurry when it turned out to be a bigger hit than expected: too expanded for me, though; I gave up watching it about halfway through season 2 as it got SO bogged down, slow with the plot & confusing! o_O

So, I just started round 5 in the proper order & will probably watch round 6 with everything straight just for fun! 🙄:confused::D

In light of that I may well end up liking this as much or even a bit more than AMA but, still can’t recommend it as the English subtitles versions are SO messed up: unless you can read Spanish! 😱o_O:rofl:
 
5.6 for me today. 🙂

Good morning. 5.4 today. A really good night's sleep so feeling quite chipper.
The kids popped in to say "Goodbye" yesterday and are now safely back in Oxfordshire. 5 Ukrainians still away and Taras has gone car rallying with his boss so a peaceful weekend in prospect.
Did manage to get something done yesterday: re-hung a bedroom door which had developed a fine Hammer House of Horrors creak. Devilishly heavy as oversized and thick pitch pine so felt pretty smug that I managed it (and appreciative of the benefit of an impact driver).
Not much rain as yet but two showers have taken the dust out of the air which certainly eases the COPD. The garden and the fields need much more.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
 
5 minutes balanced on the wobble board for the first time today!! Yay!!

¡Genial! You'll be fluent by the end of that lot. 😎

Morning all. 🙂 8.1 here. Ate out last night - pork with Cabrales cheese sauce. That explains the 8.1 - the protein kept giving all night long. Nice flatfish from bed to breakfast tho.

My school Wassup group is buzzing today - one of our fav teenage haunts burned to the ground a couple of days ago. Lots of memories...mainly lots of snogging!
 
Hello I know I haven't been on here for a couple of days I was 7.9 this morning
 
And it's a 5.2 for me this fine but overcast morning, that's after a 7.2 on retiring last evening.

On these cheffy programs I think far too much attention is payed to presentation rather than flavour and as long as it doesn't look like a dog's dinner then I go for flavour everytime.
