10 might not be too bad of number to be briefly at in your situation
 
@ColinUK enjoy the meal/stay with your folks. Can you explain what Rosh Hashona means/the story behind the celebration? Your poem is very moving and i can't imagine how it feels to go through the therapy but we are here for you. Take care.

@Kaylz have you moved in properly now? How exciting. How does it feel being in your own place?

@rebrascora Ouch!!! Your poor ankle. I hope its feeling a bit better today and your levels are settling.

@Bloden yesterday sounds like it was an idyllic day. Did the dogs enjoy the crust?

@Lucyr i hope you are feeling better today.
 
After a long day at work i managed Wordle in 4 but there were lots of options. Luckily i chose the right one!
 
Finally been able to check this morning's result (wrote it down but didn't put in MySugr and left glucose meter at home in rushing) - 5.8
 
Good early morning! 6'1 today.

Had a funny conversation with a customer last night. I accidentally gave him a menu cover with no menu at all inside. He let me know with a joke and I replied "well, sir, that menu is for people on diet". He laughed and went "that's quite the diet, no food at all!", and me "intermittent fasting, it's very trendy now". I went to find him a proper menu, thinking "who is this woman talking? Where is the usual, shy Elena?" That's probably the tiredness bringing down my filters :rofl:
 
Good morning 5.1 today,

have a great day everybody 😎
 
Another early morning. 7.2.

I don’t usually see any changes in my BGs when I’m ill/had jabs etc but since my flu and autumn booster my readings have definitely been higher. Twice yesterday I had BGs over 12, that is very unusual for me so checked on the meter and it was correct. I ran about after a toddler all day, and had a four mile walk pushing the buggy some of the time, that would normally lower my readings. I knew my bolus doses were right as both my breakfast and lunch were known quantities. I’ve upped my bolus by 1 unit this morning to 6 units to cover one slice of toast! Let’s see how today goes. My TIR yesterday was an unprecedented ( for me) 81%! Left arm still slightly swollen and red, but it’s the constant ache that’s bothering me. I’m sure she’s injected into a muscle. Flu arm is absolutely fine. Thankful for small mercies.

We’re borrowing daughter’s car today and taking Zara to see her cousins this afternoon, we’re meeting them off the school bus, and she can see the horses, cows, sheep, chickens, cats and dogs. She’ll enjoy that.

Have a good day all. 🙂
 
Morning all. 7.2 for me this early after 3 hours of sleep.

Rosh Hashona is basically the Jewish New Year. It’s one of the major festivals which alongside Pesach (Passover) and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) most Jews “celebrate” in one way shape or form even if they’re not particularly observant.
It coincides with harvest and marks the beginning of the civil new year (which was set according to a harvest/prep/sowing/growing agricultural cycle.
It’s also meant to be the anniversary of the day that Adam and Eve were created and that Mankind inherited the Earth.
It marks the start of “10 days of penitence” which ends on Yom Kippur. During this ten days there books of Life are opened, one for the wicked, one for the pure/righteous and one for everyone else.
The names of everyone are meant to be inscribed in one of the books and that dictates your next 12 months.
Those who are inscribed in the book of the wicked are erased from The Book of Life (with obvious consequences). Those in the Righteous one are inscribed in the book of Life for another 12 months and everyone else goes in to the other one and their fate isn’t sealed for another ten days (hence the penitence culminating the Day of Atonement).
There’s always round food, the challah bread for Rosh Hashona is round instead of a long plait for example, to symbolise the circle of life, renewal etc.
Similarly there’s the tradition of eating something sweet to ensure a sweet year. So combining those two traditions and apple is dipped in honey and eaten.

Can’t think of anything more about Rosh Hashona off the top of my head but ask and I’ll do my best to answer 🙂
 
Not really a waking pantten because not a waking parten because I didn't sleep and have to up to go for my blood test now(I'm maybe as I'm getting it early in the day it can be process quicker. I'll try and get some sleep (after all I was used to funy sleeping patterns when I worked).
 
Morning all. A JB induced 6.8.

@ColinUK i didn't know whether to give a heart emoji for the description or a care emoji for the 3 hours sleep. The background to Rosh Hoshana is fascinating. I love hearing about it.

@eggyg, i keep hearing about people who have had their covid booster and are not well. I hope you feel ok soon and your levels settle.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Ooh another food bit for Rosh Hashona has popped into my brain @freesia!
Fish!

Originally it was tradition to make something which featured the fish head specifically (I’m reminded of stargazy pie!) but that’s now become just eating fish (usually dipped in egg and matzo meal, fried and eaten cold or at room temperature). It’s apparently because Rosh Hashona is the head of the year.

Also pomegranates. There are 613 commandments in Judaism not just the big ten. And not only are pomegranates round (symbolising life, renewal etc), sweet (for a sweet year) but each pomegranate is said to contain 613 arils (that’s the name for the fleshy seeds) which means you can eat your good deeds for the year I guess.
Mum hates pomegranates so it’s never featured in our family traditions.
 
There was a special Rosh Hashanah Saturday Kitchen programme on BBC1 last Sunday morning, available on iPlayer, guests Rachel Riley and Rob Rinder. The fish head was mentioned!

Those Celebration Live specials are really good introductions into Jewish traditions and foods!

Also Rachel is such an absurdly lovely, lovely, woman!
 
And for me this morning it’s a 5.1 on my finger prick, only four strips left hope my prescription is ready for collection today.
