Group 7-day waking average?

A 6.1 for me today. Had lots of weird dreams last night, some of which I don't remember. One I do recall was that I discovered Jeremy Clarkson living in our basement where he was assembling a huge red fire engine. Then he started playing the clown and began showering us with multi-coloured powder just like they do in the Hindu Festival of Holi. :confused:

First 2 items on today's agenda. Book a Tesco delivery and wrestle with the Sunday cryptic crossword.
Have a great day everybody.

Dez

PS I forgot to say that the weirdest thing of all is that we don't have a basement in this house. :rofl:

Morning

10.2 today, didn’t eat very well at a family event yesterday afternoon. Excited to tell you all that we will be welcoming a new granddaughter to the family in February.

I will be meeting my friend later as I haven’t seen her for a few weeks where I was on holiday then she went home to Ireland for the summer then I was in Cornwall when she came home. So excited to see how much her son has grown.
 
Morning all from a very wet Bedfordshire, it's been chucking it down for hours now and there's no sign of it letting up anytime soon, great as I'm supposed to be heading to Silverstone to watch a round of the British touring car championship.

Anyway, it was a 5.9 for me earlier this morning. Have a good day folks.

A thoroughly wet and miserable Berkshire morning and we have another weather warning in place for thunderstorms, so can't see us doing much outdoors today. Our two sons were in Coventry yesterday for Coventry v Swansea and the game was paused at one point on account of torrential rain, but it was worth the trip as Swans ran out 2-1 winners and move up to 7th in the table.

Wife and I ate out yesterday evening, at a local pub we haven't been to in years. Couldn't get a table at our favourite place. Chicken Caesar on the menu, so that was me sorted. We shared vegetable spring rolls & sweet chilli dip for starters, but skipped dessert and just had a coffee at the end. It was all OK, and saved us cooking at home for two, but we won't be rushing back.

Sorry to hear about your woes @Gwynn and hope things improve for you soon, but congrats on the HS. I'm joining you on that step - second one in 3 days, and I only missed one by a whisker yesterday:-

Have a good Sunday, although it seems some areas will get up to 3 inches of rain today, so hope no one's plans are affected.
 
6.2 for me. I'm undecided whether to blame the doughnuts I ate yesterday evening (and lunch wasn't healthy or particularly low carb either), or just the general stress of the wedding being near now. Shopping trip yesterday was successful anyway, we got everything we went for. (Although 18 year old would have liked new trainers but didn't find any he liked in the right size). Almost there with bills paid and shopping now, but I need to make the place cards etc. So probably nipping to Hobbycraft today for a couple of craft bits
 
Good Morning 5.3 this morning
the rain outside sounds today sounds very heavy, following overhead lightning just as we finally was getting to sleep in the early hours so the garden definitely won’t need watering today.

bit of a crazy evening yesterday, I had a sudden hypo which actually really wasn’t unexpected 🙄 hadn’t eaten enough carbs, I hadn’t eaten at lunchtime
plus although I’m no longer taking then the ‘flozin effect” as I’m calling it is 😉is actuality still effecting my bathroom habits (Empagliflozin) enough said

:party: great to hear your exciting news @Grannylorraine
@Gwynn :star:congrats on the HS

below photos most definitely are not to the the @eggyg school of photography standards
but here goes:
yesterday, 5years ago and the other love in my life 20 years ago mrs @goodybags & much younger me
so 3-1 was the score yesterday a much needed away win, and yes we did both look young especially my wife, well she was and still is a few years younger than me <3

Morning a 7.3 for me and another flat line and back to using bolus insulin as my BG seems to have reverted back to how it was previously rather than the couple of weeks it seemed to have averaged much lower.
Very stormy night but slept like a log and a quiet day planned.
 
Looks like whilst I was taking ages to post @Martin.A came on with a HS :star:congrats :star: especially as it’s a double
I think you’ve got the same rain by the sound of it as us up here
 
Morning all - 2 different weather forecasts say it's either sunny at the moment or lashing down. Neither is true! It's just dull and grey, no rain.

7.0 this morning after another prolonged hypo in the early hours. Clearly the HCL hasn't a clue what it's doing!

What to do today? I intend to make Lasagne and there's a pile of post-holiday ironing to do... but my back is in no conditon to do both as I can't stand for that long. I have a feeling the Lasagne will win out as some of the ingredients need using sooner rather than later.

Congratulations to @goodybags on your weight loss, you look very trim in your latest photo.

Congratulations @Gwynn on your HS, but lots of hugs and commiserations on the situation with your wife.

Congratulations too to @Grannylorraine - a new grandchild!

Also congratulations to @Martin.A on a 2nd HS in a row.

Have a good day all....

The football ground is on the north side of Coventry and we live the South about 4miles away and not a drop until evening.
 
A late good morning everyone. It’s Sunday after all.

9.8. After a Chinese for tea last night not too bad I suppose.
 
Good morning.

I was going to slink away without admitting to a 7.3, caused no doubt by bread, cheese and lager for supper after a depressing day house hunting. Then I saw I was on the same step as several others, and lower than some, so in such good company why should I blush with shame?

Yesterday - lovely morning but weather Gods said "Ah-ha -this'll stop you enjoying yourselves". Talk about deluge. I'm not complaining - car and Wolf's pen got a good rinse. Peachy much better - moving pretty freely round her box, ears forward and cheerful. Looks as if she is over the worst. Today, grey mild and dry so far.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday.
 
its a 5 for me this morning feeling a bit better today so fingers crossed I won't need to see the doctor, I got some Barley water yesterday, thank for the tip MickeyBikey, drinking loads more seams to be doing the trick have a good day everyone
 
Treated hubby to new wheels for the car its completely transformed it and he is very happy, we needed to replace to tyres anyway but thought why not go the whole hog, so new clutch flywheel Battery and starter motor, the last two we found out we didn't need to replace after all but its all good now, Next hurdle is the MOT, but not until December so fingers crossed

Congrats to everyone with a HS.

No number for me today. In the course of climbing 4 flights of stairs about 6x yesterday to move daughter into her student flat, I dislodged the Libre sensor and it came right out! Annoyed as it still had over a week of the free trial left. I'm waiting for a Dexcom and I suppose if I let Libre know maybe they'll send me another... although it was my fault and it a free one so I don't know if they will. Ah well.

I could have done a finger prick but I'm sulking about the monitor so didn't!!

I'm spending the rest of the day adapting to being down to one child at home permanently instead of 3 (he's loving his new only child status) and trying to finish my training for my new job.

I hope everyone has a peaceful/not peaceful (delete according to preference) Sunday.
 
5.4 this morning after a night of flat-lining 5's. Cloudy this morning with a gentle breeze, it tried to rain this afternoon but then nothing, perhaps it'll rain another day.

BG's have been behaving in recent days, probably due to lunch consisting of four slices of Keto bread and ham - I'll be getting more despite the cost as a loaf lasts me 4-5 days, costing about £4 a 350g Loaf.
