It’s batten down the hatches time as it’s a red weather warning across NI tomorrow: tesco just announced, via email, their stores will be closed & all online deliveries cancelled for tomorrow until the warning is lifted! I DID have shopping booked for tomorrow but, brought it forward to today; that was lucky! 😱 🙂
Don’t know when it’ll hit you lot across the water but, we’ll bear the brunt of it first as is so often the case! 😱

Early rise for me today and a nice HS as well.
Stay safe everybody who's in the path of the storm.

Morning all. A 5.2 this morning after the most carby of carb fests! Chippy tea! Went for a conservative dose as I quite often don’t finish, but I did last night, stressful day and full of cold, doing a 2.5 correction at 10pm was scary but I’d reached 15 by then. It worked. Eggy 1 Diabetes 0!😛
MIL passed away in her sleep yesterday afternoon. Mr Eggy and I were both with her as was her sister. It happened quite suddenly, she had been medicated quite heavily, for agitation and pain, at 5.30am. She never woke. I noticed her colour had changed then her sister noticed her breathing had also changed, I called the brothers whilst Mr Eggy held her hand and told her it was time to go and see his dad, unfortunately they were too late, she’d gone within 10 minutes. It was very sad but a huge relief that the suffering is over and that she went so peacefully. We left the care home about 6, we’d already called our girls, that was hard, went to visit the two youngest who are local, eldest at work. Then went to the chippy. Watched the news headlines and went to bed, for the first time in six weeks our phones were put on silent mode. I’m assuming funeral director will be in touch today, luckily MIL had the foresight to buy a funeral plan about 10 years ago. Even chose her hymns. So that should be quite straight forward. Mr Eggy has been dealing with her financial things for the last week or so as of course the LPA died with her. He’s very organised and pragmatic which does hold him in good stead. But I know it’ll all hit him after the funeral. I’ve got up early as I was tossing and turning, as usual, so he can get some rest.
In other news, eldest grandson staying over tonight, as he has his third attempt at passing his driving test tomorrow at 8am! Our eldest granddaughter is also taking her third driving test tomorrow at 12pm! Let’s hope we’ve got something to celebrate, and let’s hope Eowyn doesn’t blow down lots of tres and blocked the driving route! We’ve got an amber warning, gusts up to 70mph. It’s fairly blowing now at just 55 mph! All fingers and toes crossed please.
Have a fab Friday.

Sorry about your MIL @eggyg
I more or less did the same thing after my sister passed in 2018: had a huge fish & chips takeout from the local chippy; BS ended up in the 20’s despite split bolousing a few hours apart! I just felt diabetes can take a back seat & pigged out! I can’t remember now what my waking BS was but, it was still high & you get a HS! 🙄
But, that waiting for THE moment has happened now & the pressure is off!

7.9 this morning. Puts me on a pretty flat line overnight but with a small increase. I've reduced my Levemir to 9U morning and night to see the effect and I'm thinking I may revert back to 10U at night and stay with 9U in the morning.
In the office today - just need to brave the storm to get there. It's not really bad here but certainly blowy enough to make me want to be indoors and not out.

Morning all
5.9, highest for a while, plans are yoga if it doesn’t get cancelled and housework.
@eggyg - sorry to hear MIL has passed, but a relief for all that she is finally at peace and hopefully a comfort that Brian was with her at the end.
@eggyg - congratulations on your HS, and hope it is thrived time lucky for your grandchildren with their driving tests.
@MeeTooTeeTo - congratulations on your HS.
Take care everyone in the path of the storm, it seems strong here in Essex and yet I know it is not forecast to be anywhere near as bad as some areas.

Morning all. 8.3 here.
Such a sad time @eggyg but a comfort to know she went peacefully surrounded by loved ones. Take care of yourself and Mr Eggy. Congrats on the HS!
Yesterday morning, at about 9.30, we had a half-hour mini stormette (howling wind, lashing rain) which then cleared off and left us a chilly, sunny, dry day. It’s back! Not looking forward to this morning’s walk LOL.
Stay safe, folks.
