Group 7-day waking average?

5.7 then after FOTF 7.1. I had a busy morning trying to figure out the wireless signal on my wireless printer but I wasn't successful. Instead, I found where to plug in a USB lead. So**ing technology - not always as it's cracked up to be!
 
Morning a 7.1 for me after a quiet w/ end and went a little high after a scone and crisps watching the footy and no correction dose as I was about 8 going to bed and level but should have realised I would have a delayed rise.
Nice early trip to Glossop to meet a colleague and a BLT and a gossip at local M&S and then find some work to do.
Have a good week.
 
Morning all. 7.2 at the start of another busy week.
 
Good morning everyone

BG 5.1 ok
Pulse 52 mmm a bit low but ok

Again it is dark, grey, threatening rain out there! ☹️

Yesterday the sound system at the church did really well but the chap who was speaking using a tie mic accidentally disconnected his mic lead when he shoved the transmitter into his pocket (after turning it on). That caused some confusion.

I seem to only be able to put one smiley in my post...

My wife treated me to fish and chips at the beach followed by ice cream. Nice.

On a bit of a downer... I had zero contact from my daughter (fathers day), who, about a year ago, arbitrarily, rejected us both as parents (silently, just stopped seeing us or communicating). Haven't seen her or heard from her since. No reason for it as far as I can see too. Sad.

Today, early, like in an hours time, back to the church to practice a new song (only time the vocalist can make it).

Have a great day today whatever you are doing

5.1 for me. Nice and flat all night as well. Must be due my first ‘first ‘drug free’ hba1c soon as well.
 
Good morning/moaning! Unbelievable, after three/four nights waking with Phantom Pain no pain but a hypo (3.1) at 3:00am! Then woke at 6:55 at 4.1 going down. Maybe overdid thew wheelchair hovering!

Phone calls and paperwork today - wonder how long I will be on hold? Will leave Wordles till hypo head clears.

Broken cloud but was red sky (the old sheep herders' warning) as I was trying to get back to sleep!
 
Good morning all and a much better 6.3 and a much more civilised time to get up!

I woke at 4.50am for a loo trip and it was a fabulous sunrise, but now it looks like we’ve had a massive downpour since then as everything is soaking wet, but it’s looking brighter. Fingers crossed it stays like that.

As predicted, yesterday was chaos, house full. Three daughters, six grandchildren and one son in law! I baked chocolate brownies but luckily youngest daughter popped to Morrisons Local and emptied their shelves of baked goodies! There wasn’t much left by the time they’d all left! They’re like locusts!

Quiet day today, I haven’t any plans as yet, except maybe read my new book, TBF I mean one of my new books, I kind of bought eight new books last weeks, in my defence six were preloved.

Have a Happy Monday.
 
Morning all a lovely sunny start here, with a 5.6 for me.

Hope everyone has a good week.
 
Good morning 6.1

Very misty here this morning - can hardly see anything beyond the garden. Sun came out after lunch yesterday so I put in a good 4 hours on the garden. Just got to add the sand to level the old path track before sowing lawn seed. Managed to cut up the enormous pallet and packing which protected the mower on its journey and stow it in the trailer for tip delivery. Infuriatingly Lampeter has an excellent tip but lousy food shopping - just the big Co-op and a tiny Sainsbury's. Carmarthen is the opposite. When everything is a 32-36 mile round trip one tends to try to combine purposes for journey.

Not expecting to see anyone today so will be plodding on in the garden.

Hope everyone has a good week.
 
Morning all. 6.0
Off to physio.
Received the results of my retinopathy check up this morning. All clear. Now down to check ups every two years.
 
Morning 6.2 I did somehow managed to forget take my regular inhaler last night(, think I fell asleep before I was meant). So that might have helped with blood sugar obviously not recommend though I had actually gone really high after massively over treating a drop but came right back down. So good job I resisted the urge to do a correction it
 
A 5.1 for me this morning. 🙂

Morning All - 7.4 this morning. Great day helping at the local sports day yesterday and the sun shone on and off for the whole event with the first suggestion of rain coming just after the races had finished at 4pm. I was a catcher on the finish line and did it for 3 hours solid! Some great races but the most hilarious was the Father's Race. I'd tied big baking potatoes onto a piece of garden twine which they then had to tie round their waste and let the potato dangle - they then had to swing the potato by thrusting their hips forward and make it hit a lightweight football up the track (about 40m) - very funny and we had to do two heats as there were so many takers. After the sack races we had the duvet races where you had teams of 3 in a double duvet cover jumping/running/falling along the track - great fun. In true Cumbria style whilst this was all going on there was also a more serious fell race on the hill by the field - I met lots of locals and have made a note of who they are and roughly where they live so I don't forget by midweek. Later on I met my Mum at Askham Hall for their NGS Yellow Book Open Garden which luckily was on until 7pm - so a lovely day all round. Have a good week everyone. I'm going to try to having a waking score in the 6s although heading off to France for a long weekend on Thursday so might be tricky with BGs there.

5.9 this morning, an average of 6.4 LH and 5.4 RH. It's another lovely morning and the forecast is good - dry and temperatures hitting the dizzy heights of 20 degrees. Yesterday turned out nice, too - we got the covers off the garden furniture for the first time in a while and enjoyed a coffee on the patio while reading the Sunday paper. Bath towels washed and then dried on the line, too.

Our eldest's and his mate's return flight from Hamburg was delayed and they were getting into Gatwick after the last train had left, so one of his other mates picked them up, which was good of him, otherwise it would have been a taxi. He got home at 01:37. The Poland v Netherlands match he was at was the best of the tournament up to that point as the earlier matches had been a little one-sided, so it was a good one to have got tickets for. Shame it wasn't Wales instead of Poland, though.

Hope everyone gets some of this sunshine today.
