Group 7-day waking average?

Morning everyone, a 5.6 for me on a day when it looked like the sun was about to shine again but it’s disappeared behind a completely grey sky now.

Have a good day everyone and stay well.

Morning

9.2 and still full of a cold on this dull rainy day, don’t think I will get my doors and windows open today. Nothing planned other than work and a bit of knitting in my breaks for when the new granddaughter arrives in Feb.

Congratulations @eggyg on your HS, I feel I need a nap just reading your post, so treat your self to a nice nanna nap later.
 
6.1 for me before I sent my BG on a rocket ship to the moon with mixed berries, a protein yoghurt and muesli... it would be the muesli that did it... don't worry it will be coming back down to Earth soon! ☺
 
Morning all. I've been really good doing low carb. I was consistently just under 10 of a morning and would not like to think what I was around the clock. Stupid. I've managed to get it down to 6.2 : 5.37am and I'm very chuffed with myself. 🙂

Have a good day all. I'm waiting in for the kitchen inspector. They can never find my flat in Old Trafford, it's so built up, every bit of land built on, we're like ants. :D My McDonalds went to another block along with my ebay stuff and all my Royal Mail post. Not best pleased, especially about the McDonalds but now I've seen the error of my ways. I had my last on the way back from Filey, scrumptious rubbish. 😉

Here he is! I don’t wear dungarees but we share a hair style! He is a character in a cartoon strip featured in The Sunday Post, a Scottish newspaper. A staple in all Carlisle households back in the day, as we’re all half Scots and live very close to the border.

We used get this down on Teeside, I don't think we had any Scottish blood.
 
4.9 this morning after a very 'up and down' night. White clouds and sunshine are here, with a cool breeze, which is very autumnal.

Feeling somewhat better today without the foreboding feeling that I experienced yesterday about forms and suchlike.

Congratulations @eggyg on your HS.

You never know, those Celts will have snuck down that east coast to get over Hadrian’s Wall! 😉
I’ve just recently done a DNA test, I am 53% Scottish, which I knew as my paternal grandparents were Scottish, but also found I am 17% Irish on my maternal side. Didn’t have a clue. Not much English in me at all.
 
Afternoon all - was raining heavily earlier but it's cleared up and just generally dull now.

6.8 when I finally woke up at nearly 10:30. We were talking to J's brother in Australia on FB messenger until the wee small hours. Amazing we can now converse face to face without charge. I can recall when international phone calls were so expensive that you said only what was necessary before disconnecting!

FWIW I finally took a look at Glooko and it seems my TIR is 80% for the last 90 days. Perhaps I was unrealistic in expecting the HCL to be better than that?

Visit to the Chiropractor this afternoon. Hope he can do something so I can walk without wincing at every step. Then it's our evening for meeting friends in the local pub. After that home and Lasagne (one I made earlier) for dinner.

@eggyg congrats on the HS - I think you're a blooming hero getting up that early to take you grandson to work!

Oooh er... just seen that @Pam123 also got an HS. Well done!

Have a good one everyone.

Or daft! I can’t decide!
 
I have just discovered some very nice M & S cheddar cheese and mixed seed crackers which are only 4.7g carb per 17g cracker which is quite a decent size and a lot less carbs than some much smaller ones. I can't remember how much they are.
 
Late on parade today as I had to take my car in for a service first thing and then go to my appointment at Boots Opticians. Eyes fine but new prescription for my left eye and nothing untoward showing up on the OTC, but I have to go back next week to do a repeat field vision test. Car not so fine - front brakes 90% worn and a broken rear suspension spring on top of the cost of the service. Total bill would be in 4 figures. The car's 10 years old and has almost 113,00 miles on the clock so it might be time to scrap it. It's taxed until the end of October so I can park it on the street for a while until I decide what to do.

@eggyg @Pam123 - congrats on the HSs. I got a post-dinner one yesterday evening but I know those don't count. 5.7 this morning.

Are you sure you still want to take your break in Dinas Dinlle @eggyg ?

Have a good what's left of Wednesday, everyone.

First up again! And a 5.2! It’s a miracle. :D

Up at a sparrow’s as taking grandson to work, he doesn’t start until 7.30 today apparently. Set off at 7am. I’ve just thrown yesterday’s clothes on ( it was pitch black in the bedroom, my tee shirt is on back to front) and my hair is sticking up like Oor Wullie! Hope I don’t break down, I’ll give the Green Flag man heart failure! Back by 7.45/50, hopefully, for the next drop off, scheduled to leave 8am to get to school for 8.30. That’s Mr Eggy’s run. I’ll get little one organised for her pick up at 8.15 by my youngest daughter, her auntie, for her arrival at 8.45. Then I might have some breakfast! We have the rest of the day free after that. :party:

Have a good day all. I’ll be mostly having a nana nap!

Not Maggie Broon today then?

I’m no where near as glamorous as Maggie. I’m more Ma Broon today! Up to my elbows in laundry and mince and tatties! 😉

One of my partner's relatives buys me a Broons / Oor Wullie annual each Christmas as part of the family's attempts to immerse me in Scottish language and culture. It's working to an extent: whenever someone on the TV does something good, I copy my partner's example by saying, "Good for you hen!". However, my partner sometimes corrects me by saying that, even in these enlightened times, one only says it to women 🙄.

I’m sure we’ll be fine. I’m only a quarter English! I remember the last time we went to North Wales in 2006, we went to a pub with the kids for a bar meal and everybody was speaking Welsh, we did feel slightly intimidated I remember and it didn’t feel very welcoming. You get the same in Cornwall and the Lakes, the locals can’t afford to live there because of AirB&Bs and cottages all been used for tourists but if it wasn’t for tourists they wouldn’t have jobs. Catch 22. I believe even the locals of the Spanish islands are hating on the tourists. It’ll always be the same I’m afraid. It’s only ever a small majority. Most people in the world are kind and caring. That’s what I like to believe anyways.

I got the annuals every year as a child and I bought my children them, and I still have a small collection! Jings crivens and help ma Boab! That’s my favourite saying. :rofl:
