Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning (just)
After 11 hours sleep I woke up at 6.4. I guess the last few days at work needed some serious catch up time.
It's beautiful sunny day here but very cold. I still feel tired so I don't intend on doing much!

Absolutely Cliff and my “ live and let live” mantra was much more about my personal view of letting different people live their lives in as open and transparent way and treating people with respect and tolerance.Also about making particular attempts to understand their concerns and challenges and that chimes very much with your message at a societal and institutional level of working at ways to improve their engagement as you say to try and equalise out the obvious imbalance in society that you highlight in favour of white, middle class members.
Then of course you have different opinions on where the balance should lie between catering for individual groups and how that May impinge on wider society and other groups.
I am just glad I dont have to make those decisions on a collective level as they are fraught with difficult choices which I don’t envy those having to make them.On a personal level where again we have decisions to make I like to think that people from all backgrounds in the main share common attributes of treating folk with respect, acting with honesty and integrity and are tolerant of others views.

I wish I could agree with you about people in general being tolerant of other people's views! I don't see much of that in the world in general atm :(.
 
Evening all. I can't remember what my reading was this morning but we've been out all day and my levels have set the alarms going on high then a few minutes later showing in target or low. I've put it down to being out in the cold. Its been freezing!!!
 
rush out this morning didn't get time to post been busy all day I had an odd reading tis morning of 6.8 high for me but I think the culprit was the phone went and the door bell, so I rushed to get the door and answer my phone, then checked and got the higher than normal reading, freezing all day here looking forward to better weather next week
 
Hi everyone! I wasn't going to post at this point (I don't know why I didn't in the morning), but there's still half an hour in the day. And when I woke up at 7 am, my BG was 7'1. Which is not bad considering recent levels.

We had a dinner function and the new manager asked me to be in the room directing the food runners to the tables and making sure everyone got their food. Not a difficult task but one that normally is done by a manager or supervisor. Apparently the other manager (who is often doing that task) told him that was a risky choice. Love the trust 🙄Jokes on him because it went really smoothly and my colleagues agreed it was better than other times, no drama and no stress. The new manager was really happy too and he gave me a free drink after my shift. I'm currently sitting in the bar enjoying that, listening to the party music and catching up with your posts. Apologies if there's any bad spelling, I hope when I re-read this in the morning I'm not ashamed! And also hope the bolus I just took for my late snack is not too much with the alcohol. Have a good night, lovelies!
 
Good morning, been awake for a while. I slept so much yesterday after the mad week at work that I wasn't tired last night 😎
7.0 here. Snuggled up on the sofa with the dog, who makes an excellent hot water bottle.
Happy Sunday everyone!

Hi Colin.Do you find different productions which maybe attract different types of audiences can noticeably affect the general experience and standards of behaviour and etiquette or is it just a few individuals that can spoil any experience.

Absolutely there’s a difference between types of shows and also time of shows and how an audience seems predisposed to behave.

By far the best behaved audiences are those for dance and opera. That’s the case regardless of whether it’s a matinee or evening performance, whether it’s a piece popular with families (with children) or not.

The worst behaved are generally weekend matinee jukebox musicals although the Wednesday and Friday evening audiences aren’t far behind.

Selling of so much crinkly or crunchy food doesn’t help and neither does allowing people to bring alcohol to their seats but honestly I think it’s more a case that folks are used to watching things from their own home. So they think nothing of getting up and wandering to the loo, chatting with their friend about whether or not that guy was in that other thing they saw, or that it’s ok to discuss plot or whatever. Same with mobile phones. Folks seem unable to resist the lure of the screen. I’ve always felt that there should be no public WiFi access in theatres and cinemas during a performance. Just turn off the WiFi router!
 
5.8 this morning. No theatre on the cards today. Hopefully going to a costume sale though!

Did theatre yesterday though. Stranger Things: The First Shadow

Three hours of my life I won’t get back.
 
A 5.1 for me this morning. Back to slightly warmer weather (it's nice to see a little bit for rain or drizzle) 🙂

7.2 for me this morning :(

I know it’s not mega high but it’s taken me back to my first few days of testing and I’m going to assume (correct me if I’m wrong) that heightened anxiety can raise BS levels?

The last few days have been very wobbly in terms of anxiety being through the roof, had similar readings last night and even a cheeky 9.4 before bed which I wasn’t thrilled about.

I didn’t eat much after 6pm, it’s very rare that I do though.
Had a couple of sips of Mr Quills Guinness and didn’t drink anywhere near as much water as I usually do for a good chunk of the night so other potential culprits coupled with next level anxiety perhaps?

Only -1°c here this morning so practically tropical compared to the rest of the week.
Definitely a day snuggled up watching K Dramas for me.

Have a super lovely Sunday everyone 🙂

I did say I wondered how that was going to work. I wish they would just leave things be without making a theatre show out of everything. I reckon because Kate Bush’s Running up that Hill got a revival via the Netflix show someone thought they were onto a good thing! You should have just scrolled on your phone and ate a family sized packet of crisps, slowly, until it was over! 😛
 
Morning folks, 6.3 for me, and 2.1 degrees on my weather thingymajig. Wow, I may throw all the windows open and put my shorts on! Unfortunately, the snow hasn’t melted yet and the bird baths are still frozen. High hopes for later in the day though.

I didn’t get a walk yesterday, I couldn’t fit it in, but I sent Mr Eggy for a one to clear his head. His two brothers and their families visited their mother yesterday, one in the morning and the other later in the day. She’s just sleeping all the time, therefore not eating or drinking or engaging. Don’t think it’ll be long now. :( He just walked around the block, we’re going for a longer walk today though.

We had unexpected visitors yesterday about 4ish. Youngest daughter and two granddaughters. They’d been to view a house in the area, without hubby as he had a call out, they weren’t 100% sure about it TBH, but they’re getting kind of desperate now as they’ve sold their house as of last week. They had six viewings, it had only been on since just before Christmas, and they had four offers, all over the asking price! It ended up being a bidding war, luckily all the offers were from first time buyers, so no chain, so they went for the highest one of course. Now the race is on to get their forever home. The house they viewed yesterday wasn’t suitable. Got another house to view tomorrow but they’re hanging on for a one going on the market this week and they’ve a viewing booked next Saturday. Fingers crossed it’s suitable and their offer is accepted, because they ain’t coming to stay with us! 😉 They all ended up staying for their tea, as hubby/daddy was still working, chaos! My head was spinning when they eventually left at 7! I love them dearly, as you know, but boy, the mess two little people can generate in a short amount of time is incredible. All fingers and toes crossed they find a house SOON!

Have a super, hopefully not slippy Sunday all.

Here’s a photo of the view from my bedroom window, I had to stand on a chair and stick my head out to get it. This is Back O’ Skiddaw absolutely covered in snow. Beautiful. Always looking for the positives in life.

Morning all, 6.2 here, and was 4.5 at 4am. It eventually occurred to me (after shovelling in a stack of correction doses over most of yesterday that did nothing) that perhaps my novorapid cartridge was compromised, and the increased basal was trying to do all the heavy lifting. I squirted 10 units into the plastic cap, and it looked all frothy, which I've never seen before. So I changed it for a new one, and lo and behold, my levels started coming back into range. Still needed a bit more than usual, but only what I’d expect if I’m a bit off colour and taking no exercise.
Moral of story, never assume that if you’ve diagnosed the problem as A, but there's a further possibility, B, it might be a bit of A AND a bit of B, it doesn’t have to be one or the other.
 
Sorry to hear about your anxiety @Quill

Yep, anxiety, stress, and excitement can certainly affect BG levels.

6.5 for me today when I woke. And now my newly started sensor is displaying the “Sensor Updating” of doom after going through its start-up period. The last one that did that just never came to life. And I’ll be out by the time I know whether this one needs to be abandoned, so looks like I’ll be flying in manual for the morning.

Oh, and a tiny part of a pin that holds my watch strap together seems to have gone under the washing machine - because of course it did. Happy Sunday all! o_O
 
6.8 this morning. Up at 145 to take my son to school, drop off went well and he's now safely at Heathrow.

Got woken up at arpund 2300 by my low alarm on Juggluco - blimey, I'm not sleeping through that! Turned it to just be a compression low so went back to sleep.

Still very cold here but Mrs BG has been out and is out for a run with her running club. I'm most likely going to hit the treadmill again or maybe some cross training.

TIR yesterday was excellent but still a huge spike at breakfast so trying to calm the FTTF before eating so experimenting with some early NR as a pre bolus bolus.
