Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 6.6

Very chilly today. CH on. Yet another viewing at midday Yesterday's place was quite nice but not enough room for Peachy. Since garden and view brilliant and house OK I plan to visit next door farmer and see if he will sell me a bit. An impossible hope but if you don't ask you don't get.

Hope everyone has a good start to the week.
 
Safely back home after our weekend away, and back to carb-counting after 3 days off. Hard to count carbs when you're staying in a B&B and eating out the whole time. Anyway, no apparent harm done - 5.8 this morning, same as yesterday.

After getting blown to bits at West Bay yesterday morning we headed home via Sherborne, by which time we had some blue sky and sunshine and the raging gale had morphed into a gentle breeze. Had a coffee and a look around and then moved on to NT Stourhead, by which time the weather had got even better. Did the house tour, walked the grounds and had a bite to eat in the cafe before pushing on home.

Covid jab later, otherwise the day will be spent catching up with the laundry while tip-toeing around 3 people WFH, as usual on a Monday. Thought about switching my Tuesday swim to Mondays so that I'm out of the way but I'd be getting in the pool today only 15 minutes after my Covid jab, so probably best not to.

Congrats @goodybags on this morning's HS

Have a good start to the week.

Congrats @goodybags on HS!

I'm joining @BobbleHat on the 5.8 step. I thought you might like a couple of the views around the honeymoon hotel estate today20241007_080423.jpg20241010_120950.jpg20241011_110826.jpg20241011_172219.jpg20241012_092106.jpg
 
Morning everyone, a grey but dry start to the day here just for a change.

BG today comes in at a happy 6.1 for me. Have a great day folks and stay well.

Morning all and 5.9 for me which did require a couple of glucose stops during the night. I think another basal tweak may be in order.

Back garden covered in leaves so definitely some sweeping and bagging in order.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Happy midday all! Out the front it's grey but out the back there's a lot of blue sky.

7.9 when I got up at 7.45. No idea why and the HCL is supposed to correct to 6.1. It obviously hadn't!

Not much on today except a quick trip to the supermarket for some bread and a quick trip to B&M looking for something on which we can drain coffee pods so they can be recycled by Morrisons. Also call into the glass shop to find out how much it would cost to replace the somewhat scratched coffee table top. Would replace the whole coffee table, but can't find one in the right size which is rather large.

Glad to hear you've at least seen somewhere that's a possibility @TinaD

@42istheanswer your food photos made me salivate! The hotel grounds are spectacular, what hotel is it?

Congratulations @goodybags on your HS.

Off to eat my lunch - have a good day all!
 
Was a 6.3 for me this morning.Winds died down .No fences down Have to check out the back later least the concrete plinth above the upstairs dorma window hasn't come crashing down through kitchen roof ( yet ) Congratulations to@goodybags on your Hs.Well better switch blue tooth off before phone dies .Stay safe folks
 
@PattiEvans it's the Tawny Hotel in Staffordshire. In the grounds of what used to be a hall, the grounds were designed by a previous owner to provide views - he acquired follies from all over the UK and beyond to create places where you could see the grounds

He certainly did a good job! Looks absolutely gorgeous!
 
Late posting for me today, 6.4 on waking.

We rushed off straight away after breakfast to Hatton Locks for our first shift in about a month, thanks to holiday in Ireland and then being ill for the past couple of weeks. But, we managed it and helped 5 boats in total, although not all the way through the flight as there thankfully were another couple of volunteers helping. Decided not to push our luck with health and left after lunch to spend a quiet afternoon. That was until Dad called to say Mum had fallen. So that was the afternoon taken care of, luckily she was ok and hadn’t hurt herself thankfully.

Congratulations @goodybags on your HS today!

Take care everyone!

Ohhh that's so scary, for everyone, your mum, your Dad and you! Hope she can get some help to stop the falls.
 
Evening all. 10.1 agh self-inflicted. I'm now trying to do one meal a day. It's very hard. I broke out the big cauli but forgot to take a picture and I couldn't find a banana for comparison. I meant to use my head but then hunger overcame me and I forgot. BG should be lower tomorrow then. 🙂
 
Good morning - 6.8

Have a great day everyone.
 
First here again today. You lot must be sleeping in! (Edit: I was typing so much @Lily123 snuck in before I could post!)

5.5

Funeral to attend this morning. The friendship group I was part of when I was a kid, I’m still in contact with some of them. One couple, the wife lost her father on Sunday so I’m going to his funeral.

In other news I booked a break away at the end of November. Gran Canaria. Nothing at all posh or refined about this one. It was great value and I just want some sun. It’ll be my first time flying easyJet or any low cost carrier tbh so I’ve booked extra legroom seats and a hotel room at Gatwick the night before as it’s a 7:30am flight. I’m intending to hire a car for a few days and head up into the mountains but I might end up just doing sod all apart from sitting in the sun and reading.

On that note, anyone else a Kindle user and intrigued by the newly announced colour version?
 
Morning a 7.6 for me but took 3 Dextrose and a small biscuit just after going to bed after it went low and then a gentle rise.
Quiet day yesterday and will venture to Liverpool today but back early as wife having a small surgical procedure at local GPs.
Then have an on line Meeting tonight where I just have to watch and listen apart from having to say a few words about happy to come in and bring Do Nuts etc and have a chat.
Always a bit ironic as the messages are about promoting good health and there I am promising Trick and Treat (well no Tricks involved but plenty of Treats).
Whether low carb or high carb have a good day.
 
Morning all and I’m on the 6.8 step with @Lily123.

Back to normal today ie up at the crack, no where to go and no one to see, so why? I have got lots to do and mind whirring as per. We have a birthday in the family, one of the hordes is 12 today. We exchanged presents on Sunday when she was staying over, and I’ll send her a message before school. Its usually half term on her birthday but it’s late this year, half term that is, not her birthday!

Got washing dried outside yesterday, similar forecast today so will do another load and get that out, must get the tumble dryer fixed as I think my days of hanging the washing out are numbered! Haven’t even looked in the spare bedrooms after the mass sleepover, I’ll peek in today and depending how bad they are I’ll either shut the doors or tidy up! Lots of cooking today to tide us over the next day or so, I’m going out for lunch tomorrow with my recently widowed friend so will be out a while. She gets very lonely. It’s very sad.

So, a busy day, but at least I don’t have to feed the five thousand or change dirty nappies! Silver linings and all that.

Have a great day.

@ColinUK you can’t beat a bit of winter sun. Been to Gran Canaria just the once many years ago, and we hired a car and went up into the mountains, I remember the road just stopped dead! So we turned back, but brilliant views. Oh and watch out for unexpected nudist beaches, we had the kids with us and got a bit of a shock! 😛
 
1000006645.jpgNot a frequent occurrence for me but happy with that. Gentle line all night too so my home made burgers /low carb burger buns worked well as a meal. No ill effects from the vaccines so far - although my flu arm is a little sore!

Just work for me today. Hope everyone has a good day.
