I have no way of knowing I’m afraid @Wirrallass

You’d have to check your BG levels I suppose, and see if you observed any effects?
 
Completely missed this mornings check in.

Been a police heavy few days with back and forth emails asking me questions about whether I’d be happy seeing the defendant in court or if I’d like to ask for any one of a number of special measures. Add to that my therapist cancelled our appointment for tomorrow earlier this week as he’d “double booked”. The appointment has only been in the books for six months so there’s some anger around that. Oh and buyers remorse about the cruise as well! I’m past that little hiccup I’m glad to say though.
So I’ve been moping around a bit feeling a bit antisocial etc. but I’m ok.

Received an email from NHS this morning inviting me to book for a Covid booster so that’s booked and I bought tickets for the Royal Opera and Ballet costume and prop sale that’s coming up. Apparently it’s the first costume sale they’ve had in over a decade. It’s timed entry with two hour slots during the general opening on the Saturday and Sunday but I’ve got preview tickets as I’m Friend so that means I’m going on the Friday and there’s no time limit.
I doubt I’ll buy but I will be on the look out for anything that might be useful for dressing up in on Scarlet Night on the cruise.
As hinted at by the name it’s an evening when everyone wears red. Some go full on in elaborate outfits and others just wear accents of red but I thought I might find just the perfect cape or tutu at the costume sale. No idea how I’d get anything tailored to fit though but I’ll cross that bridge if and when.

No idea what my numbers are today as I’ve not bothered checking qué será será.

5.3

Busy day today even with the cancelled therapy session. I’d built things in to the day to do afterwards so I’m off to the Monet and London exhibition at the Courtauld then meeting a friend for a drink in Soho before heading to the Coliseum to see Suor Angelica, a Puccini opera about nuns, family, shame, desire and death.
 
Morning all. 5.1. So near but so far.

I really, really did try to have a later morning, but alas, I’m programmed to wake early. The first day of the week we’ve no one else to feed/look after/drop off/ pick up. Holiday tomorrow so I’ll be doing the usual cleaning the house right through incase we get burglars! The last bit of laundry, and the packing of course. That won’t take long, everything’s piled up neatly in the spare bedroom and just needs to be shoved in to a hold-all! TBF it’s only walking clothes and clean knickers! Gone are the days I would spend the day before going on holiday at the hairdressers/ waxers /nail salon. And I would have spent the weeks previous choosing new outfits, shoes, bags. I don’t miss that at all. Love our walking holidays, get up, get out, return covered in mud, shower, PJs, something to eat and watch telly, bed and repeat! My younger self would be horrified! :rofl:

Have a fab Friday.

You joke but cousins of mine once had burglars break in whilst they were away. The house was always such a mess that all the burglars did was tidy up a bit, so the washing up and make a sandwich before leaving!
 
Morning well an 11 for me and really got it wrong last night.
Everything seemed very settled at 4.5 just before bed so I had some toast and expected to go to about 8-9 and then settle down.Instead it went into double figures and came in high.
My mistake was in having roast potatoes for my evening meal so a much later release of carbs.
Mind you did have a lovely nights sleep .
Quiet day today but found a new gelato place in Chester and just round the corner from one of my haunts so really looking forward to a visit.
It is down an interesting looking side street which I regularly pass and think of going down but just pass by.
Plus a new visit to largest ice cream farm in the world beckons again.
Why did I not become aware of this news when it was warm and sunny?
Have a great day and w/ end and a good holiday Eggy and all
 
Morning all. 5.4 here.

Thanks @freesia. I hope you’re feeling better ASAP. The beginning of term is hard sometimes, especially when you’re juggling other things too. (((Hugs)))

Hiya @Wirrallass - which probiotics are you taking? Glad to hear you’ve found something that works!
 
A sleepy 7.5 this morning (Wilbur woke me at 6.45am and I didn't turn out my light until nearly 01.00am so not great. Old friend arrived last night for a couple of nights so lots of chatting. She and her husband came on the boat with us in Norway so we've seen her very recently which is lovely. Then daughter arrived home for the weekend. It was hit and miss whether she'd make it as all trains north apart from one to Preston were cancelled yesterday evening. She was about to give up and stay at home but I persuaded her that it was worth the slog to Euston and to try and sure enough the train was real and she got a seat. Onward train to Penrith cancelled but nice man in her carriage had arranged to be picked up by his son so they took her too and then the nice man drove her from Oxenholme to Tebay Services where my hubby was waiting to collect her - there are definitely still some lovely people in the world. Spoke to the GP yesterday and they're moving me onto a water soluble statin to see if that improves my occasional severe cramping and some other aches & pains. No letter from the consultant yet with new insulin prescription but that should come very soon as it's been 2 weeks now since my appointment. Have a good day everyone. Meant to be sunny here today which will be a big improvement on yesterday's fierce wind and rain - although it's windy outside at the moment and very grey ...
 
Morning all, 6.6 here, but my BG is heading upwards fast, for some reason (I mean faster than usual, I always get some sort of dawn rise from 4am) need to get some more insulin into the system quick.

Oooh where's the new gelato place? Last time I did a long ish walk around Chester in the summer, I was looking forward to having gelato as a treat/ reward but the place I had planned to have it had gone. (The lovely chippy has too...)
 
We were unable to see Count Binface in the end, due to the train cancellations already mentioned by @zippyjojo - he couldn't get to Liverpool. So got wet walking to the venue from the station for nothing.... had some lovely (naughty carby) food - if we are able to make the rearranged date then I'll have to try the "no carbs box" that the Greek place does instead!

Finally got orders of service ordered for our wedding, we meant to get around to it sooner and now the turnaround is very tight! So hope no delays. They'll be delivered by DPD so they usually deliver on time once they have them

Fiancé picked up CPAP yesterday but opted to try it at his not stay over so not sure how it's gone yet, whether he was able to tolerate it

BG when I woke 6.2 and now showing 5.9, might do another check with fingerprick to see how close they seem atm
 
5.6 for me today.

Have my first retinopathy screen this morning, which Mr B is driving me to. A little nervous - I hate that bit in normal opticians when they blow air on your eye but hey how- needs must.

Meeting eldest for a belated birthday meal tonight. His university is much nearer than his sister's, so he just hops on a train to do this sometimes, then hops on a train back. Then I'm working all weekend so hoping for reasonable weather - driving between people's homes in the rain and trying to get from car to doorstep without then dripping on their floor is always fun!

It is called Luca ‘s on Faulkner Street in Hoole.I regularly drive to Ermine Street just along the road so pass by a lot.
I spoke to one of the Cardiologist s I know and she had just come back from a holiday in Venice and we talked about our mutual love of ice cream and she told me about it.
In the middle there are a couple of ice cream places down by the river but I tend to avoid those as can be difficult to park but Luca’s location seems perfect for me
 
Good morning 5.6 today following a decently controlled day yesterday

Have a Fantastic Friday 😎
 
A 5.8 this morning. 🙂
It's rather chilly outside at the moment - but no rain (it all fell yesterday).

Good morning! Happy with a HS after a restless night with a Triple P (Phantom Pain Peak - not toilet visits :rofl:).

After Wednesday's extra physio non-event yesterday was another disaster as Patient Transport failed to turn up! I spoke with my physiotherapist later and in fact only one person from the whole group got to the group session. She was also not happy about Wednesday's outcome.

Overcast and raining. A friend in North Herts is trying to stop the flood waters coming into the house. They had minor flooding about ten years ago. It is not really a flood risk area but ongoing neglect of the drains by the council. Yet they have money for highly paid non-jobs!
