Group 7-day waking average?

Another 7 on the nose on the FP reading. Libre had me a 5.4 when I first woke up but again it's been rising rapidly.

I have noticed my insulin sensitivity has increased markedly since I've got back into full training.

NR is now at closer to 1:12 and I've knocked a unit off my Levemir both morning and night. Long may that continue 🙂
 
Morning a 7.7 or Sunset Strip for those old enough to remember.
Managing to stay in zone pretty much for last few days and even line overnight after Pizza which was usual Friday night heaven and a small correction before bed.
Quiet day planned though have my annual review appointment at GPs this morning and have to try my black tie outfit on in advance of meeting next week.
Lunch out tomorrow so whatever you are up to enjoy.
 
Morning all. 6.0

As for the Olivier stuff this is what I know so far:

At some point in the next two weeks there’s an induction session for all new panel members.

We’ll be given access to a web site which will update with details of all eligible productions. That will have a booking portal on it and we book tickets to see everything that comes up (unless we’re ill of course).

Tickets booked through the portal are free for us. We get two stalls tickets for everything. We also receive a program.

The awards will be announced in 2026 (I think it’s April) and we get tickets to the awards themselves as well.

Reason why the induction has to be within the next two weeks is the eligibility window starts in February.

It’s not for all dance productions but only for new productions. So revivals are not eligible. Most of what I see at the moment are revivals so that’ll change I’m assuming.

I don’t know of any restrictions regarding social media posts about what we’ve seen but I’d be amazed if there wasn’t some kind of limit to what we can say publicly but I’ll find out on the induction I guess.

Nobody from the Olivier’s oversees our record keeping or has any input into our decisions. They are there to advise us if we’re not sure how best to keep notes on things we’ve seen though so that might be useful.

I’m looking forward to it!
 
Forgot to say went with a friend to see Giselle at the ENB yesterday. His first ever ballet.

It was sublime! Really beautifully danced. Nothing groundbreaking at all but just a fine production all round.
 
Morning all!

7.1 for me this morning.
Anxiety floating around again at the moment so trying to get on top of that.
Off to nibble on some mutant (enormous) Bluberries and gear myself up for a blitz of the kitchen before Mr Quill returns from the Mothership.

Have a super very excellent Saturday! 🙂

Morning all. 6.3 for me.

I spoke too soon yesterday about having a nice quiet day. Not long after I posted yesterday morning, received message from youngest daughter. “In A&E Eden has taken a tumble down the stairs!” Anyhow, she’s fine, no broken bones, no bleeding on the brain, no concussion, just a huge egg on her head and an even bigger bruise and scab. Apparently she cracked her head on the corner of the stair gate. The doc said the usual, watch for vomiting, drowsiness etc. it was obvious, to me, she shouldn’t be going to nursery as they wouldn’t want the responsibility. So at 10.30 Eden Knieval arrived! Absolutely nowt wrong with her, still flying up and down the stairs if I took my eyes off her for a micro second. She does it for fun, she climbs up and then flies back down on her tummy! She loves it. We only have a short staircase with a bend so she can’t go too far before sliding down. At home, an old terraced house, the staircase is steep and very long! She had us run ragged, took four steps on her own, she’s only 11months. I took her for a walk to Aldi, two mile round trip, as I obviously didn’t get to Tesco, and Mr Eggy went to visit his mother ( no change). Of course I haven’t taken a buggy around a supermarket on my own for a long time and totally forgot I’d need a basket and have to push the buggy at the same time! I managed some how and at least she fell asleep and stayed asleep for oh at least 15 minutes when I got home! Was I ready for bed last night! You bet!

Day off today do you think? No chance, the hordes are descending tonight, “only” 14 of us as eldest SIL working. Celebrations for grandson’s 18th. I’m not cooking, just paying for a takeaway, but we need to make our dining room into a bistro which means reconfiguring the furniture ie moving kitchen table into dining room. No rest for the wicked eh? I must have been very wicked in a former life! 😛

See you all tomorrow if I survive! 😉

Eden Knieval :rofl:
Bless her, glad there wasn’t anything too nasty.
Hope you all have the best time 🙂
 
Good morning! Yesterday's new sensor seem to have settled overnight. From +2 yesterday evening it is now +0.1. Libre BG 9.7 - must do better. Had a decent night's sleep but needed painkillers before bed as stabbing pains in missing foot. It as the first in three days bar 2 x Paracetamol in preparation for the (cancelled) physio ( :( ) ) session.

Still wading through endless downloads to find final figures for SA. Then my exercises and housework. Used my last milk for cuppa so it's black coffee with breakfast!

Cloudy and noticed someone scraping their screen (looked very easy).

Methinks the Eggy doth protest too much!
 
Morning all, 5.4 here.
Expecting a family invasion at some point this morning, nephew is bringing my sister over, plus his 11yr old daughter is coming along for the ride. It wouldn’t be them if it wasn’t complicated, so he has to pick up a package in Bicester first, and oh, he thought he may as well stop off and do a Parkrun in Oxford on the way..so he’ll need a shower when he gets here..and they’ll all need lunch..Rellies! We love them really!
 
My reading this morning was 5.6 an hour or so ago, but guess which wazzock forgot to press enter. 😳

Good morning 6.3 today

had a interesting message in the NHS app yesterday from my GP, telling me about this website

Great to see that @ColinUK will be on the Oliviers Awards Panel, I expect they head hunted you having heard about CCC
I’m looking forward to a week Monday, then that will be one month post my eye procedure and eye drops then finish also can go swim&gym (not that I went as often as I should have before) but I have missed it
Have a wonderful weekend everyone 😎

I hope Eden is OK,it is scary when something like that happens. In the old days we didn't run off to A & E but probably should. My youngest had at least 3 incidents when she fell on her head and was unconscious for seconds, it hasn't seemed to have any damage, thank God.
You are going to need a second mortgage for take-away for 14.
 
Morning all. A higher 9.8 this morning, i think i slept through the high alarm as i don't remember it going off at all.

Nothing much happening today. Hubby is working and i got my jobs done yesterday so i'm having a craft day. Radio on for a singalong and i'm trying out a clay kit a friend bought me. No doubt there will be a mess but it will be fun i think.

@eggyg i'm so glad Eden is ok after the tumble. It is frightening. Enjoy your celebrations tonight.
 
Morning

5.4, shopping then taking mum for her eye appointment regarding laser treatment, of course she is already panicking about the drops, I don’t know why she has had both cataracts done, has her diabetes eye screening, so nothing new, anyway she calmed down a bit when I told her hubby is home so would take us, I do t know why but she feels better with him driving.

@ColinUK - I think you will be perfect, hope you enjoy it.

@eggyg - glad Eden is ok, sounds like a little daredevil.

@Eternal422 - I also had my cataracts done last year, honestly you do not feel anything and it is over much quicker than I expected. I struggled with the not bending down, my hubby was forever shouting at me don’t bend down, I didn’t mind the not being able to hoover or dust for a few weeks.
 
4.8 this morning, so a nice start to the day.

Did my amateur radio course quiz yesterday and got another 100%, so another week feeling pleased with myself. I know it will get harder in the coming weeks, but really enjoying it and looking forward to passing the exam, hopefully, late May or June time. Very tempted to continue on with my full licence whilst I’m in the swing of things, that will mean continuing through until December for an exam either then or next January. It feels good to have something to aim for and is doing a great job at keeping my brain active now I’m retired!

@eggyg - wow Eden’s adventure must have been scary! Glad all is ok, she sounds like a real live wire!

@ColinUK - sounds like your Olivier judging will be fantastic, they obviously must have read some of your CCCs and decided to snap you up!

Have a great day everyone!
 
Morning all. Two JB's this morning cured my 3.8 before I rose from my bed.
