Group 7-day waking average?

5.9 this morning.

Hit the gym yesterday and then went to see the nurse to have bloods drawn. Told her the suite of test results from the hospital dermatology blood test in Feb (so hba1c, protein levels, cholesterol etc) which she was delighted about. Told her my current weight as well as it wasn’t a diabetes related vampire session.

She’s agreed that we’ll see what the numbers are like at my next diabetes check and look at coming off metformin and also the ramipril.

Other than that I’m trying to convince myself I don’t actually need a new iPad and that my very old iPad mini 4 has life left in it yet despite it not holding charge so well.

Meeting my ISVA this morning to talk about thoughts etc after the police meeting last Thursday. I’m genuinely ok with it overall I have to say.

I do want to think about how/whether to tell Matt that it’s all over and done with without giving him any indication that the case collapsed because he won’t give evidence though.

I’m thinking I might just tell a white lie and say that he pled guilty when shown the evidence. Or I might just never mention it at all.

Oh yesterday before the gym I went to Tate Modern and two exhibitions: Leigh Bowery and then Electric Dreams. I’ve no idea how or why Bowery is thought of as deserving a huge exhibition in Tate Modern. He was nothing more than a massive egoist and self proclaimed artist. He was an odious man.

Electric Dreams was a curious collection of “technological” art that predated the Internet. It was definitely a curious collection.

I use BitWarden Password Manager. I've only got to remember the master password and it generates all the other ones for me.
My passwords are ones like "4av@3^C8a!JeQQRi$jyZR" and "5mJVKyrM$V$Wm5@E35T@q"
(not my real ones if there's any hackers looking in) :D

Can't think why you don't remember passwords like those ones o_O😱:rofl:

I sometimes use lines from favourite songs, just the first letters and never the first line or the chorus. Too easy to crack.
 
Good morning peoples. Bright, sunny and very frosty around 7am after morning chores.
A 6.4 for me this morning. Fingers crossed but FP readings for pre/post meals are coming down at last. Lunch was cheese and ham omelette with a teaspoon of branston pickle followed by tea with 2 rich tea biscuits. BG afterwards was under 5 and barely moved from pre meal result.
Picked up an old pond liner this morning. May use it for ducks later this year or create a new wildlife pond near the south west boundary as the garden slopes downwards and gets quite boggy there anyway.

Hope your meeting goes well @rebrascora
Enjoy the Tate @ColinUK I used to go quite often when I lived in Kent and north Hampshire as it was a short train ride into London.
Have a lovely day folks. I am catching up with laundry while the sun is shining.
 
Morning folks on this lovely sunny day. The pigeons are cooing, seagulls are squawking and the magpies are making one heck of a racket!

Another 9 for me first thing ~ no excuse, I guess the result of a spoonful of malt extract before bed, I just fancied something sweet!! 😛😉

Take care and Oh, by the way, have a nice day!

Mmmmmm.... I love malt extract. Haven't seen it for ages. Mum used to give us spoonful every morning in the winter. Sometimes we had it stirred into porridge.
Judging by your reaction best I stay away from it for now.
 
5.6 this morning the gym went well yesterday and we went again today, the only alarming thing was my vision and how different it is now form 6 months ago with the lighting being florescent lighting makes it worse, my vision isn't good to begin with not diabetic related.
 
7.1 so, day on day, it's looking brighter. A gorgeous day with a very chilly easterly freezing us as I walked into it's face.

Had a flat line in all night with 6s and 7s as I had repeated nightmares. Evidently something has rattled me, probably the powers at be. Still rattled. I do hope I'm not going into psychosis.

Enjoy the rest of the day peeps.

We have an Appleby up here too. Lovely little town on the outskirts of the Lake District near the Pennines.

Appleby in North Lincolnshire, where my mother grew up, is a lovely, picture postcard village. As kids we loved staying at our Gran's during the summer holidays (this is in the 1950s). She lived in one of a row of 6 cottages with no running water or mains electricity, just a tap outside and a toilet in a block round the back. I say toilet but it was just a wooden shelf with a hole in the centre and one of those galvanised dustbins underneath to do your business in. They were emptied weekly by the council. They had to be lifted out and tipped into a bin lorry. Fortunately I never saw them spill one.

The row of cottages has long gone and been replaced by a modern bungalow but most of the village was much as I remembered it when I last dropped by 3 years ago before heading back home from Scunthorpe after a cousin's funeral.

My Gran and Grandad are still there, buried in the local church.
