Morning All - 7.2 this morning. I've spent the last 10 days since back from Scotland getting my TIR back up and it's now at 85 which I'm really pleased about. It's amazing how just being here and doing every day things has so much of an impact on my BG. I do a lot of steps just walking around the Cumbrian Long House but also have spent most days in the garden pulling out giant weeds and then on Monday I decided to tackle the compost bays that the previous people built but that haven't been managed very well. I'm not sure I've sweated so much in my life and that's saying something as I used to be an aerobics instructor and did a lot of running too. I can highly recommend the "compost workout". I managed to get it all sorted and even built a divide in between a double bay which was too big to be useful. And I carefully propped some foxgloves out of the way during the whole operation as there were still bees on them. Very satisfying. Off to Norway to the boat tomorrow so will no doubt see my TIR plummet (not a lot of steps to be had on a sailing boat). Sorry if I don't check in when I'm away. Pics below of said compost heap and my first Helianthus (grown from seed). @eggyg CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Good morning 5.8
Ran round like blue assed fly yesterday to get stocked up for family and to meet estate agent to view a promising house. He was 16 minutes late to the site and then found his client had locked the house and he didn't have a key...no I didn't call him what he certainly was..
Have a good day all.

I'm joining Dez on the 5.3 step on this bright & sunny Berkshire morning. Wednesday's a washday and with no rain in the forecast it should be a good day for getting the whole lot dry on the line. Trip into town later to pick up my weekly sweet treat from Gail's, and maybe continue to hack away at our out-of-control honeysuckle this afternoon. Was going to do it yesterday but the weather was a bit unpredictable, with a couple of sudden heavy downpours. Damp conditions meant that the Slug Patrol was deployed yesterday evening and accounted for a dozen of them.
Hope everyone's got some sunshine today.

good morning! 7.1 for me. We arose early as my brother is expected to come round. He usually comes in the morning, but, today he's chosen dinnertime - then a meal at some time between two and four. It'd be lovely to see him after several months, but why, oh why does he insist on cocking my day up?
I hope your day is good and productive whatever you get up to. 🙂

Morning all - grey and windy. Sick of this really I am.
7.3 this morning, but in range all night and a fairly flat line - I left it to the HCL to manage after dinner.
Hoping to work on the photobook this afternoon, then meeting friends early evening in the local as usual on a Wednesday.
Hope you're all feeling well and have a good day.

Good night all - today did not go exactly as planned but it worked out OK in the end.
Everyone grumpy and difficult this morning, except me (honestly) and son-in-law Nick. At some points I was counting- ten - twenty …100...smile and say something bland...catch more flies with honey than vinegar...don't snap, look at the view...
The Elder Grandson, who was feeling the pressure, (I don't blame daughter or toddler Benjie for it as they are under acute stress - her from the cancer therapy/worry etc and him from his regime changes) decided to run outside, returning almost at once to declare he had found a hedgehog stuck down the manhole serving the caravan water taps. Immediate gathering of the clan. The wretched plumber had left the lid off on Friday - when had Mr/Mrs Tiggywinkle fallen in?
Early arrivers (not me as a rather slow limper) declared he/she had been flat out with nose showing on arrival but had subsequently slowly formed a mound. Obviously dying, they declared, but just a chance with veterinary intervention.
Couldn't get a response from Hedgehog Rescue and my vet is 12 miles off (best on horses) so issued gauntlets to Nick, contained prickly heap in large bucket, headed down the village to the local lot Reception "Cor that's a big un" or Welsh to that effect. "We'll give you a call when he/she has been examined". Distinct air of "Don't get your hopes up".
Had just fed the gloomy troops lunch and contemplated the dishwasher when I got an unintelligible call to answer phone. Only discernible words "take him back". Back to car with bucket. Reunited with prickly chum. "He, or possibly she, has eaten 2 large helpings of cat food and is fine. Put him out at dusk" We did. Nick setting his phone to record him. 10 minutes later a video of a stout Tiggy setting off at speed.
Funny thing is all the grumpiness had evaporated. Well, they say nature is good for mental health!! Daughter had a good phone consultation with medical team. I cooked dinner, with Nick stir frying some extra veggies. Rowan played Minecraft. Benjie decided bedtime wasn't an absolutely impossible demand. All the tearing anger gone from daughter's voice. And now lovely, lovely peace and quiet...God Bless you unsexed Tiggy.

Good morning 🙂 8.1 for me today 🙂
Morning mirroring Northerner again with an 8.2 but still getting good TIR.
Off to rural Shropshire today after a few very local days and trying to finish off a presentation needed for next week when I have the delights of a day trip to Berkshire.
Have decided to go by train which is still a long day as I don’t want to stay night before but at least it is less stressful.
Anyway love this time of year being out and about and long May it last.
Soon be w/ end

Good morning everyone
BG yet another 4.9 happy with that
Weight continues to tumble, excellent. I wrigh 72.1Kg today
Blood pressure staying nice and low (in the normal range) 111/79
Pulse, hmmm, what can I say, low again as always 52
Today, if it stops raining, a walk and later on a meeting of the worship team leads and me (the scribe) to discuss what we do going forwards with a new Pastor and everyone away in September. I am a bit concerned about it all as I am the only one there who does not lead worship and may actually get axed. I am hoping for the best but fearing the worst.
The good news is that every time I try to predict what will happen in life, I get it wrong (except at the last election), so you never know things may turn out for the best.
Have a great day today whatever you are doing.
