Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all! Decidedly chilly start here, with a bit of frost too.

A 6.8 to start me off. Hope the sun keeps shining 🙂
 
Morning all. 6.4 for me before breakfast. Looks like another gorgeous today, just like yesterday. It will be a shock when this spell of nice weather comes to an end.

Have a great day everyone.

I did exactly the same 20 years ago digging up a shrub and trapped a nerve in my back. The GP gave me some strong painkillers and said helpfully that backs could take 6 weeks to recover. However somebody recommended a chiropractor and after 1 treatment it was 50% better and a couple more I had no more problem, it actual fact it was better than it had been for years.
I hope you see an improvement.

It's already a lot better thanks 🙂

5.4 this morning, after the ascent and descent of Mt Everest during the night following a bowl of home made apple crumble for supper.
 
A near miss with 5.1 today. No so cold this morning.

GM to everyone

5 2 for me... looking back over my fasting numbers, they all are between range of 4.5 -5.5, I am more than happy with that .

As my Hba1c approaches, using mysugr app and adding three mmols(sp?) to the estimate, I am curious to see if this 'game' works. Although the blood test is really to see if Ezitimbre is doing something for me, rather than last year's disaster with statins. The additional Hba1c is because I gently persuaded the Clinical Pharmacolgist ro reduce Metformin to two, and she wasn't happy about that. She was convinced my Hb1c would increase and insisted on the Hba1c test. Well in a fewl weeks, time will tell!
My surgery has slways been more stick than carrot. Sigh

Wishing you all a lovely Sunday
 
6.3 for me this morning but yet again there was a correction in the small hours when I slipped into double figures following a late chicken salad. I did have quite a lot of chicken (protein release) though and I didn't get out for a walk again yesterday, so I have to either get out for a walk today and reduce my evening Levemir or bite the bullet and increase it and I am already on what I consider to be my maximum dose, so I really need to get out and do some exercise. Might be a bit of a hobble as I have pulled a calf muscle.
Hope everyone has a good day enjoying the spring sunshine.
 
Morning lovelies! 🙂

6.8 for me, big improvement on yesterday's result, even after Tacos, figs, dates, apricots and prunes last night.
Mr Quill can't be trusted in Holland & Barrett and I can't be trusted around partially rehydrated fruit o_O

5⁰c and sunny here this morning.
Hope you all have the loveliest Sunday xo

Morning all. I'm joining @MeeTooTeeTo with a 5.1, and @rebrascora with the overnight correction. Its sunny and cold here, nothing planned. I may get in the garden this morning or i may read my book who knows.

Just checked my TIR for 7 days, i've not been in the 90s for a while!

It's another blue sky and sunshine start here and the early frost has pretty well gone. The only iced-up cars in the street are those that are in shade. 5.3 when I tested, so just missed out on a 3rd HS in a week. Congrats @Sharron1 on yours.

Our eldest's futsal team are back in action today with a home fixture and I can't decide whether to go or to watch it live-streamed on joymo tv. Usually my wife and I go and she drives, but she's up at her sister's in Bedford and their home ground is a 35-minute drive away. I don't drive those kind of distances these days. Also, it would be a pity to waste the best part of 4 hours of a dry and sunny day when there's lots of garden maintenance to get started on.

@Wendal our tip introduced a booking system during covid and have kept it, but I actually prefer it as it's eliminated the queues, which were sometimes dozens of cars long.

Enjoy your Sunday. I'm still mourning the sorry state of Welsh rugby.
 
Morning all.6.1 at 7.30 when I got up. Positively balmy at 3 degrees as opposed to yesterday’s -3.

Had my full English, that’ll do me until tea time now. Stuffed.com. Oh and I wiped some green fluffy stuff off one of my tomatoes and shoved them in the oven with my sausage and black pudding. I’m not precious about best/sell by dates either, what’s going to happened at the stroke of midnight? Nowt!

Mr Eggy got his strawberry raised bed done, it’s huge! Lots of jam this year I’m thinking. We’re going for a decent walk after our breakfast has digested, not done much walking this week although we’re always on the go.

@PattiEvans my birthday is just before yours and Julian’s on Easter Saturday and we’ve booked Center Parcs for the whole family for that weekend. We’ve had to sell the younger children to pay for it! My 21st was on Easter Sunday and I was raging as the night before when I was out partying to celebrate they closed the nightclub at midnight! I was like Cinderella. Was home by 12.30. 😡

Have a super Sunday y’all.

Morning Martin can understand the system works well if you have planned work and rubbish to get rid off.As I have worked from home the vast bulk of my life I have always had the flexibility to take stuff during the week when it is much quieter.
Also just prefer an unstructured life without too many plans etc.
The beauty of rugby is play or support hard but once the game has gone it is about appreciating/ celebrating the game and applauding the other team of the pitch and having a beer or three has been instilled in me from a young age ( the beer came a little bit later).
But yes my footy team has been in doldrums for a long while and I know how sad it can make any supporter when success has been so elusive.
At least you can cheer your son on and can I ask was he born in Wales or does he consider himself Welsh.
I always remembering knowing a Welsh Horse Vet who lived in Shropshire and he had the classic Welsh name of “ son of” is it Rp or Ap or something like that.I asked him if his son would choose Wales if he was good at Rugby and his response was I took no chances and made sure he was born in Wales ( that was before the Nationality laws were relaxed).
I thought that kind of thing only happened in Yorkshire if the parents thought they may have a good cricketer on their hands.

Our two boys weren't born in Wales but in Frimley Hospital in Surrey. They're a Welsh/Irish/English mix but they think of themselves as Welsh. They're more football than rugby and have got tickets for the World Cup Qualifier between Wales and Kasakhstan this coming Saturday. They're also Swansea City supporters (we have family connections to Swansea) and were at Watford v Swansea last Wednesday. Ironically, some away games are closer to us than Swansea itself. They haven't been to a home game all season.

Ap is 'son of' in Welsh names.

On the subject of nationalities my wife, who's 50/50 Irish and English, discovered that she's automatically an Irish citizen on account of her mother having been born in Ireland. She had no idea.

Same here although I am renowned for recovering a somewhat green looking lamb shoulder by washing it thoroughly in vinegar and then water and then cooking it very well and my friend swears it was the tastiest lamb she has ever had!
I have even eaten yoghurts that were 3 months out of date!

As my sister says, "Best before doesn't mean bad after!"

Whatever did we do before everything was date stamped. If it looks and smells OK I eat it. I have thrown out stuff in date because it smelled funky and looked off.
