Group 7-day waking average?

Oooh 5.2! No screenshot as dexcom and can't be bothered to get work phone and take a photo of it.

Wedding Orders of Service arrived yesterday, a little ahead of the expected time (and really good because there's midweek group tonight in church, so means we can leave them at church ready and fiancé doesn't have to remember them on the day).

Awful rain here yesterday but thankfully I didn't have to be out in it too much so didn't get too soaked. Slept a little better last night, still woke after 4 hours but managed to get back to sleep this time until just before alarm was due to go off. Going to try and drop kids off and get into work a little earlier today I think.
 
5.2!

Decided not to head to the States in May but to put it off until October. Means I stand a chance of:
A) Getting accommodation in/around the national parks I want to visit
B) Not melting in the heat

Booked tickets just now for Titanique the musical for Christmas Eve. Can’t wait! Did it to compensate for getting an email yesterday from Devil Wears Prada saying that due to “unforeseen circumstances” they’ve had to cancel the performance I booked for November back in February. Apparently they’ve cancelled all performances that week via email but are still selling tickets to them on their website. Not impressed.

Morning congrats on the HSs but no hat trick as a 7 for me but another flat line and a lovely sleep.
Heavy rain but drying up now in the “ Frozen North” and trip to Manchester for wifes post op Consultant appointment but all should be fine.
My Brother in law called in yesterday on way home from North Staffs after having a pacemaker fitted ( has had lots of cardiac related issues) and hopefully will give him some respite.
Dogs love them and go mad when his partner gets on the floor with them.
Have a good day all and giving wife a free Pinch and Punch pass and save it for next month.
 
Morning all. 5.6. Its very dark and rainy here today. Rain forecast all day.

Congratulations to @42istheanswer and @ColinUK on the HS.
 
Morning all. 7.0 here.

It’s a filthy day here! Hubby’s uncle Eurig is on a Saga-lout holiday to Pembrokeshire (he couldn’t have chosen a worse week, weather-wise), so we’re meeting him for lunch in Tenby / Dinbych-y-Pysgod. Looking forward to it, we haven’t seen him for a looooong time.

We’re picking the puppy up on Thursday. It took forEver to choose a name - how do people choose names for their kids? We’d have changed our minds every week until they were teenagers, (if we’d had any).
 
Well done to @42istheanswer and @ColinUK on those HSs. 🙂
I made a 6.1 after a very restless sleepless night. 🙂

Bora da all. 5.6 on this dry morning.

Yesterday started quite bright, but we weren’t fooled, we knew the rain would come. At 10am we could see the sea was splashing and crashing so we grabbed our cameras and popped up the lonning and over the road. It put on a good show for us. 10 minutes later back in the cottage for me to put a bit of slap on, didn’t want to give the Caernarfon residents a shock. The rain started as soon as we parked up, just a slight drizzle but enough to render me blind. Wearing specs and rain isn’t good. Had a wander and found a butcher and purchased two sirloin steaks for our tea. Then a cafe for a bit lunch, Welsh Rarebit for Mr Eggy and I ordered a tuna melt panini. There was only two other customers so thought it wouldn’t be too long, I duly dialled up a whopping 6 units of bolus, paninis hit me like a ton of bricks. Waited about 10 minutes and the assistant came out and said they didn’t have any tuna! Had a quick look at the menu and chose a cheese and ham panini and asked if they could melt the cheese, toasted? she asked. Yes please. Another maybe 10/15 minutes went by, our food came out, I had a cheese and ham toastie! Which was very nice but about half the carbs of a panini. Oh dear, what did I do, went to the Spar and bought a bar of chocolate. Well, someone has to take one for the team. In conclusion, never ever, assume/presume anything when eating out, bolus when it’s in front of you! And don’t buy a big bar of Cadburys ‘cos you know fine well you’ll eat the lot! 😛
Rain got worse and worse but we saw the castle and the harbour. Went home and chilled for the rest of the afternoon.

Today we’re off for a long coastal walk, forecast dry with sunny intervals, it’s misty at the moment, it looks ethereal.

Congrats @42istheanswer and @ColinUK on your HS.
Have a good day folks, safe journey @TinaD

Morning all. I'm cockahoop, in the fives yay! 5.7 @ 6.46

Perished, can't get warm, both heating and fire on costing a fortune but sack it I can't bear being cold. Weight is stuck but I'm quite pleased with that too. Have a good October all. 🙂
 
Kicking off the new month with a 5.9 and a grey but dry morning, but we're due rain (again) this afternoon. Garden thermometer only just into single figures at the moment.

Our eldest is 25 today so there are banners and balloons up in the lounge. No sign of him yet, though. Tuesday is one of his futsal team's training nights so his birthday meal out will be tomorrow. Even his birthday doesn't trump his futsal.

Usual Tuesday swim before lunch and a bit of grocery shopping are the only things on my list for today. We'll see what else comes along. In the meantime it's time to settle down with a coffee and the newspaper.

Congrats @42istheanswer and @ColinUK for nailing an HS this morning.

Whatever your plans, have a good day.
 
Good morning from Norn Iron! 5.1 on this uncharacteristically sunny morning here! Hoping to get to Malin Head, the most northerly point of the island of Ireland today.

The family reunion went really well and yesterday we visited some others from my wife’s family. They life up in the mountains where my phone just showed the satellite icon as there was no other service. When we came down from the mountains I discovered lots of messages and voicemail from my father. Panicking there was something wrong I called as soon as we had enough signal to discover it was about his on-going BT line fault which has been going on for over 6 weeks now. He is really anxious and worried as the phone and internet are their only contact with the outside world. At least they have the pendant alarms which continue to work in case of emergencies or falls.

Congratulations to @42istheanswer and @ColinUK on your HS today!

@ColinUK - visiting national parks in the US sounds great - which ones are you planning to go to?

Oh, found another pot of gold yesterday too!

Another wet day up here , gonna get wetter as I'm now going in the shower.4.4 for me this morning Did have two low alarms going off during the night.it did drop into the red for a while surprising after two jobs and a malted milk biscuit (twice) Congratulations to @42istheanswer and @ Colin UK on your Hs .Try and keep dry folks
 
Morning everyone, a very wet start to the day here but a happy 6.1 so no complaints.

Have a good day folks and stay well.

Good morning! A 3.9 (5.1 on the meter - so close! :( ). After I started moving around the Low Glucose Alarm sounded (3.5) but I ignored it.

Mainly admin and paperwork today, with a few household chores thrown in. I think XXX.moron must have the worst call centre of any company and staff it with incompetents.

Very, dull, wet and raining!
 
Morning all and 9.2 for me. Dropped basal by a unit and instead of a steady fall over night got a steady rise.

Vampires visited. Six vials of blood and a bottle of wee. Should keep Endo and Haematology happy.

Have a good day everyone.
 
01:01 BS 7.5 🙂

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 🙂

I’ve just eaten all my 3 meals today & spent all night watching the latest on iPlayer series of The Traitors NZ. I only got on this band wagon, as it were, VERY late because after being stuck in bed SO much this summer not breathing very well I eventually watched the UK series 1 when aI ran out of things to read or watch! I DID see the promos for that 1st series hosted by Claudia Winkleman, at the time 2 years ago, & had shrugged it off as being another Golden Balls game which I don’t like to watch because of the backstabbing & lying you can get in it: TT I’d decided wasn’t something that I’d watch; changed my mind though, & thought I’d give it a go because of the murder/mystery element? :confused:

I’m SO glad I did as I got hooked right off the bat! 😱<3:D Yes, there’s lying & backstabbing but, it’s SO psychologically fascinating AND unpredictable as to how people will behave, & vote so, EXTREMELY addictive viewing! 😛😱:confused::rofl:

I watched all 7 series of it, one after the other, on iPlayer &, of course, love the UK versions of it the best, series 1&2! But, the Australian series 1&2, US series 1&2 & this latest on iPlayer of New Zealand series 1 all are fascinating & unpredictable viewing too! 😛:confused:😎:D

I highly recommend it for anyone that’s not seen it yet late as I am to, what I gather, is one of the UK’s most popular tv programmes right alongside Strictly of which the latest series has also, just started! Of course, I’m biased towards the UK series’ but, ANY 1 of the 7 series on iPlayer are great too! <3😎

I’m dead tired now & my eyes are all blurry from watched all 10 episodes of TT NZ, just released, overnight & will bring forward a little my midday Tresiba & go to bed. A String of Z’s emoji!

I already made the switchover to the increased Autumn/Winter dose to 62 during the last week of August when the cooler temps arrived & have my electric heater on at night. My flu jab appointment on 12/10/24 &, for once, it’s an afternoon appointment rather than the evening which makes transport a lot easier! 🙂
