Morning yawning. 6.9.

Been awake since 3.30, up since 5.15. TBF I did go to bed at 8pm! Had an almost 11 mile walk yesterday along the King Charles 111 England coast path. Still haven’t seen the sea! We didn’t know we were going to walk this particular trail, we just walked north along the River Eden, it does lead to the Solway but it definitely wasn’t a coastal path. What it was was a very muddy path though farmland, and very nice it was too. Never ever walked this part of the river before, it is a long river, even though we’ve lived in Carlisle all our lives. We never saw a soul until we came to the village it ends at. The weather was glorious, again, shirt sleeves for the most part. But my goodness both hips were absolutely screaming at me to stop. I was in quite a bit of pain, I was so glad to get to the car. Stretches done, hot shower, painkillers, early night and I’m as right as rain today. I’d like to say I could rest my weary bones today but my child/grandchild free week hasn’t quite turned out that way. Somehow two daughters and two grandchildren are arriving at lunch time! I have no idea what I’m going to feed them. It’ll be a mixture of sandwiches, ( I’ve a a tin of tuna and plenty of cheese) a packet of crisps each and a KitKat! I’m slacking! 😉

Have a fab Friday. Just realised I’m first up!

Good morning - 5.7

Have a great day everyone.
 
Morning a 5.4 for me by pure luck as messed around with doses to try and stay on top of BG but stayed out of red last few days.
Went to a traditional Tea Room for lunch yesterday and it was lovely and day just worked out perfectly for timing as my double Lunch and Learn was at 2pm.
Had a really big business win so that gave me a nice boost.
As you get older the highs are not as high and the lows are not as low but it was my biggest win in a very long time.
So all in all a good day.
Pizza night and a very local day so HAGW.
 
Good morning! The benefits of yesterday's physios are still showing - a 4.5 this morning.

No appointments till Monday. All these early appointments feel worse than getting up for work!

Cloudy, mild, no rain.
8:00 - quite thick mist has rolled in!

6.2 this morning. Atrocious sleep last night even by my standards.
 
Morning all, 5.8 here, Friday already, this is the day I go out for a hack with a group of riders from the yard, it threatens to be misty this morning, luckily very little of the route we normally choose is on the road. (I do always wear a hi-viz jacket, and the pony has his own hi-viz sheet for when it’s really murky, so he doesn’t just blend in with the mist).
 
Good morninb everyone

BG 5.1

I have been looking up what constitues coercive abuse and sadly my wifes behaviour has fitted that definition for years but it has got much worse recently. No idea what to do but I feel that I am near breaking point. I have no support and no help. No wonder I feel so lost. Trying my best to make my wifes life safe and enjoyable just doesn't seem to be working anymore.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing.
 
Good morning 6.3
 
Morning all. 6.6. Reduced basal by half a unit last night. Bedtime i was in the low 5s so i had a small handful of peanuts (i'd also had a glass of wine). Graph shows i spiked to 14 a good chunk of the night! I don't remember hearing the alarm, mind you i was really tired. Could be the peanuts, could be the cold meds i had, who knows anymore.

Today i need to pick up my new glasses from ASDA. @PattiEvans yours look lovely. I can't remember what mine looked like but i know they are a paler colour to what i have now. I was on my own choosing and had to rely on the girl in there to help me. I hope they look ok and not make me look washed out.

It's my last official day at work today, even though i have been off. I feel sad my working life has ended this way but know i've made the right decision to walk away. I can always get a job with just a few hours if i miss being around other people.

Not much else is happening today. Forecast is grey and raining. @eggyg lovely photos. The weather looked beautiful.

Have a good day whatever you do.
 
Morning

5.2, so please with that after a bad day yesterday where for no apparent reason I hit the high 12s mid afternoon, started dropping got down to 7s and then went back up again, I can only assume it was linked to this lurgy, which is just feeling tired, headaches and achy around my neck, shoulders and upper back. Went to be at 6pm, although I did watch telly in bed until 9. Today will be just getting through the day at work and making a chocolate cake ready for my granddaughter’s birthday party at the weekend.

@PattiEvans - I like your new glasses.

@eggyg - lovely photos as usual.
 
Congrats on the HS @Grannylorraine. I wasn't sure whether to give you a star or a care emoji. Hope your day is ok and you manage to shake off the lurgy soon.
 
A 5.3 for me this morning. 🙂
Lovely pics as usual @eggyg but why are those two not wearing green bathing caps like the others? 😉

Have a great day everyone.

Congrats on the HS @Grannylorraine

Commiserations @MeeTooTeeTo - close but no cigar!

6.8 for me.

A dreary start here today. Rather matching my mood.
 
5.4 on this dull, grey but surprisingly mild Berkshire morning. Was relieved to see that come up on the meter as I got a post-prandial 9.3 yesterday evening. I've not been that high since just after diagnosis. My bowl of soup was only 16g carb but our eldest had some leftover ciabatta so I had some of that with it. That'll teach me. Did a second test on the other hand to be sure and got 5.0, but I'm not claiming the average as an HS.

Friday, so the usual hike around Sainsbury's and Waitrose once I've had my coffee and read the newspaper.

Congrats on the HS @Grannylorraine but sorry to hear you had such a rough day yesterday.

I got laid off just short of my 60th birthday @freesia and decided to take my company pension and call it a day workwise. Felt like being on holiday for the first few weeks but I did then decide to work part-time and did so for the next 10 years. I quit working for good just before the pandemic.

Have a good Poet's Day.
 
Morning all. 8 @ 8ish. I'm fed up having a numb mouth and feeling drooly since my funny turn. I suppose I have to live with this now good grief. 🙄
 
Morning all and 6.3 for me.

It's definitely grey and autumnal. More leaves to bag up.

I've been asked to write an organ piece to segue into a radical rework of a Cradle of Filth song. Could be interesting on both counts.

Have a good day everyone.
