Group 7-day waking average?

Morning a 6.7 and another good overnight line.
Nice day yesterday with boss and some good meetings but spent more time in garden centre than with customers so happy enough as not nice outside.
Quiet WFH today so pleased to get to end of week and literally calm before the storm.
Enjoy
 
Morning all. 6.3

Saw Guys and Dolls yesterday afternoon which was fantastic. Really great production.

This was as the audience were trickling in.

Good morning! A 7.7 (Sunset Strip) today. Think the change of my bolus (Porcine Isoplane) vial has been beneficial - it looks like the previous one lost some potency.

Silly o'colock Podiatry in a while perhaps/maybe? Three appointments in a row is stressful woth the transport issues!

Generally clear but chilly!
 
Morning all have a good day 5 for me You all have a good day
Only 19 more sleeps till Santa comes
 
Morning all, 6.1 here.
Is it forecast to be a bright, sunny morning today? Yes, of course it is, I’ve got my retinal screening this morning. The waiting area is along one side of a corridor, facing a wall of glass, looking out on to a carpark and a glass walled office block. Last time I went all the cars and windows in the block were doing their best to reflect the sun directly on to the waiting dilated pupils!
 
Good morning all. 5.6. I have no idea what the weather is like as I can’t open the blinds until Mr Eggy gets up, the blind cord is too high up for me!

We had a lovely day yesterday. Bacon and sausage buttie for breakfast, a decent sunrise, a walk into Ambleside via Hayes Garden World, they have the best Christmas display in the county. All the wonderful Christmassy things and we bought a tattie peeler, I’m always on the look out for a traditional style one, some AAA batteries and a jar of marmalade! Then a climb up towards Stockghyll Force, we spotted a cafe and because I was going low we decided to have a scone. Just as I ordered, my Libre alarm did it’s thing, my phone was on the table, I don’t know who got the biggest fright, me or the staff member! I asked for extra jam! They were absolutely huge, we only managed half so we wrapped them up in our napkins and brought them home. When we left to go to the force, it was raining, by the time we got there it was raining very heavily. Got some photos and made our way back. We were drenched! It’s the Lakes, we don’t expect anything else. Nice steak dinner courtesy of Mr Eggy, very nice too. Watched Masterchef and Gone Fishing Christmas, it was so funny. Two middle aged men fishing and talking rubbish, we love it.

Today we’ll try to get out a bit earlier as forecast is more rain and gusty winds, Storm Darragh started last night, a few Christmas events have been cancelled this weekend which is a shame for the county.

Hope you have a fab Friday, Mr E is up and opened the blinds, it’s looking ok, the calm before the storm I think! He’s gone out to take photos, he’s still in his PJs!

Morning all. 5.7 for me. I had to take a correction dose at 3:45am because my sensor alerted that my BG was high (10.4). It didn't feel that high to me, so I did a finger-prick test (9.5). I entered a calibration into the G7 app and took 2 units as a correction dose. I know what caused it - I had a snack before bed because my BG was flat at 5.4, which I thought was a little low. Clearly I underestimated the effect it would have.
I split by bolus at breakfast, since my BG is dropping, albeit slowly.
Looks like it's going to be a damp and windy day here in the West of Ireland, so I don't imagine I'll be venturing out too much today.

Good morning 5.3 today

the good news from yesterday first I’ve got a date for my eye surgery down at the John Radcliffe (30th December) so not to far away, plus my sister might be able to take me, it’s ironic that I got the date through yesterday as on Wednesday night I dreamt I was going to get a phone call and tell me I can get it done on Christmas Eve
then yesterday I find out it will be done between Christmas and new year

the not so good news, our roof still leaks 😱 we are not to disappointed really,
we know and we can can keep managing the water ingress, towels drip trays etc, so that means we don’t sustain further damage.
one of my customers, is the roofing company who did the repairs earlier this week,
they didn’t diagnose that would put right the problem, I was previously told what we were told that repair needed doing, but :thankyou: this company can fit me in soon, we can get his team back soon to get a plan in place to finally sort it out
Mrs @goodybags and I have noticed many people have problems with dormers since we bought this one
…

oo.. yes and it’s been a bit of a tough week for me (at work)
but I’m trying to put that aside, and not let those troubles or changes get to me this time 🙄
after all it’s only the first week of the month, and things will get better

Have a great day everybody 😎

Morning all. 7.4 here. Tweak, untweak, tweak, untweak...na, I won’t bother. I’ll sit on the exercise bike this afternoon for 15 minutes and see if that helps.

Admin and lesson planning today. What fun!
 
A 5.7 for me this morning.

Dez
 
Morning all. 6.3 after a restless sleep. Too hot, too cold, couldn't get comfortable...

Not much planned for today apart from putting the christmas tree up.
 
6.3 for me this morning and another flat fish overnight, so I must be doing something right!

Still waiting for my c peptide results, may try calling the DSN team again in a week or so to see if they’re back yet. The wait is killing me!

My wife is off to Birmingham to meet a friend and then go on to another friend’s retirement do afterwards. So I’ll have the day free to do as I please. Not sure what to do, maybe a play on the amateur radio and some reading?

Take care everyone!
 
Morning everyone, woke up to a 4.7 today which is surprising as I had a fair amount of rice for dinner and a piece of carrot cake last night .

Have a great day everyone and stay well.
 
Opened the curtains to a lovely, sunny Berkshire morning with wall-to-wall blue sky. Cold, though - only 4 degrees when I went to get a newspaper. All change come tea time when Storm Darragh is due to arrive. 5.6 when I tested.

77 Sunset Strip was one of my favourite programmes when I were a lad @MikeyBikey back in the days when there were only 2 channels, both of them B&W and on a tv the size of a small car.

Our Xmas tree and deccies were brought down from the loft yesterday and my wife spent the evening setting things up. I find it best not to try and help. As she's a huge Peanuts fan there's a definite theme to our Xmas, as you can see from the decals on our lounge window:-

Friday, so Big Shop Day but not until I've had my coffee and read the paper. Also need to top up our bird feeders pronto as our resident pigeon and robin (Walter and Chris) have just turned up in our back garden.

Have a good day, Darragh permitting.
 
Good morning 6.4

Lousy night awake with the abdabs. I'll be glad when the next 2-3 months are over.

Still a bit grey outside but a few shafts of sunlight keep breaking through. One of them is a somewhat miffed letter from the solicitor (who has been untruthfully telling purchasers lot that we were not ready, despite my instructions). Anyway she has now agreed to comply and completion date is fixed for the 6th. Cheeky Madam warned me to check on the cost of my purchase falling through. I took a slight pleasure in pointing out that the storage cost + livery was actually lower than my heating cost and that my accommodation would be free. Makes one wonder whether she has no friends or family!

Emptying the polytunnel today and making a run to the tip. What an exciting life...

Have a good day all. Hope the storm causes you no problems.
