Group 7-day waking average?

GoodMorning 8.1 today

not surprisingly a higher one really carb heavy evening meal including ate the last of a panettone cake that’s been winking at me for a few days
In the night when I got up for a bathroom visit levels were well into double figures
that’s probably why I didn’t sleep well and am awake early

Had no exercise yesterday, will hunt out my shades and take a walk at least to the post office today
or might do a few K’s on my underused exercise bike

have a Fabulous Friday
TC 😎
 
Morning and a 7.5 for me and another flat line overnight after a 3u correction dose as I was rising before bed after a last minute Indian meal out as my wife said she would take me out.We eat early and the local Indian restaurant is a little different as it brands itself as a Creative kitchen so does different dishes to traditional ones.
They do an Indian “ tapas” dish consisting about 7 or 8 items and do a basic version but we had the Maharaja which was absolutely great.I love my Indian food and have been gluttonous lately but I have enjoyed the festive break so much that I was determined to make the most of it.
Equally I know I can be disciplined in the coming weeks to get my average BG down and even last night we walked to the restaurant and I did another walk so largely kept my BG within range.
Attending funeral today of a very close friend of nearly 40 years but there will be plenty of memories.
Expecting a big turnout as he was very active after a lifetime working in the nuclear industry and lots of other interests and decided at age of 60 to study photography at University and I always remember the comment I put on his wife’s 50th Birhday card “ 50 not out and can still pull a student” which she loved.
Anyway stay warm and safe
 
Morning lovelies!

7.6 for me this morning - we’re still on a mission to get rid of Christmas booze.
Had some lovely levels yesterday even after a very carby Pea Soup (Morrisons Best Pea and Ham Hock - oh my word, so worth it - absolutely next level) so feeling pretty chipper and much less stressed about everything now 🙂
 
7.1 this morning. My bedtime reading was a little high at 11.3 so a small 2.5U correction with NR and that seems to have done the trick.

Glad it's a short week, starting the year is always a bit bitty at work so takes me a few days to get into things.

A few things planned for the weekend, maybe get out with my radios onto the moors for some portable morse code, maybe fly an RC plane or two for the first time in will over a year and my wife and I want to go for a run together.
 
6.0 for me today.

Nothing exciting. I'm back at work. I'm working tomorrow as well and I'm teaching an antenatal class. Which is great - I was a teacher before I was a midwife so I've always enjoyed teaching antenatal classes, as they combine both my careers into one. But, this will be my first time teaching sincecI changed jobs. I could teach classes at my old Trust with my eyes shut. But, I really need some time today, to make sure I'm up to date with my new Trust's guidelines and policies so I can confidently answer questions tomorrow.

So, fingers crossed that I'm not needed for too many other jobs today.
 
good morning all hope you are all well
went to bed on a 9.7 and woke to 7,0 considering the carbs i had last night its not bad
gail
 
Morning all, 4.7 half an hour ago, decided to have a last snooze, but eventually decided to give up. retested, 5.4! Sailed through the HS station without stopping again.
Looks chilly outside, off out riding this morning, brrr.
 
6.8

Yesterday was fine. Met the folks and took them to Real Greek where dad’s newly found anxiety reared its head and he was overwhelmed by the menu. I had to narrow the options down for him to potential pick between. He still couldn’t choose so I chose for him. Mum and I shared a veggie meze platter.

Ushered the folks to their seats in the theatre, made a lighthearted apology to the guys sitting next to them and said that they’re usually well behaved but if they play up then just tell ‘em they won’t get any ice cream at the interval!

I was standing in the immersive bit and got to be involved in a very minor way at the top of act 2. There are tables set up for a scene in the Hot Box cabaret bar and I was at one of those with three other assistance members. Dancers moving all around these tables and delicious cocktails to boot. It was fun!

And according to mum it was “the best show I’ve ever seen” and dad agreed. So I think that was a successful trip.

Good luck with the new classes. I too love teaching, even started a BEd at uni many years ago.

Didn't like university life but I've always ended up getting involved in training in all the jobs I've done regardless of the title role.
 
Good morning everyone

BG 5.2 a good start

Christmas was pretty much a non event. New year was pretty much a non event. My hip pain made sure of that!

Hoping that this year becomes a good year

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Well done @Gwynn on that HS. Another near miss for me with a 5.3. 🙂
Bloomin' cold round these parts. Stay warm everybody.

Dez
 
@Gwynn Congrats on the HS! Great way to start the new year!

@eggyg Not such a great way to start your 2025!
Did Bri rub it better?
 
Good morning all! Woke around 4:00 for no good reason (think my body clock is out of sync) but managed to get back to sleep after Wordle and Quordle. Really weird dream. Was flying in medium jet (three sears either side of aisle) when we came into land. We descended into a cloud and snow started building up on the wings and windows, and everything went dark. Then, well then I woke up at 7:30 to a BG of 6.9.

No appointments today. Yesterday was Physiotherapy and unlike Tuesday's Podiatry was not late (just) but like Tuesday two hour wait afterwards.

Mainly clear with hard frost, -3C says BBC.
 
7 for me today.

Just been down to the post office for the paper and did an Eggyg. Yes, taken in by the cloud cover and general dampness off I tootled in my usual state of reverie and on turning a corner my feet slid off to the side and down I went. Bashed my elbow rather than my backside and fortunately my head missed the low garden wall. Under the wet was a layer of ice.

So all you good folks, take care if you are out and about.
 
Morning all. 5.8 here.

It looks pretty cold out there! Time to wrap up warm and hit the beach. I wonder if there’ll be any wild swimmers today - they all walk around as if it was Corfu in August, not West Wales in January, brrrrr.

A couple of jobs to do today. The first is to put some spare furniture in the attic - I wouldn’t normally hang on to spare furniture, but it’s a few pieces we picked up cheap-cheap that we just can’t part with. Ridiculous!

Keep warm, folks. Don’t do an @eggyg (I hope it stops hurting asap), if you can help it. Edit: me and my big mouth @Docb.
 
7.0 for me on this cold, bright and crispy morning. Ouch @eggyg and @Docb - we're expecting snow up the hill on Sunday night so I've got to go shopping this weekend to get supplies in just in case. Last of the Christmas stragglers leaving today and then the house will be very quiet (except for the dogs charging around from 6.30am-8.30am as seems to be the new norm and now they're crashed out). Have a good day everyone and be careful of the ice xxx
