Group 7-day waking average?

5.8 on yet another lovely, sunny Berkshire morning although our garden thermometer says it's only 7 degrees at the moment. Managed to paint our newly-built picket fence yesterday, and fixed it in place, but will give it another coat today. Successful visit to M&S in Camberley too, as my wife and I both found something to buy, then stocked up on Easter eggs at the Tesco next door.

Our youngest should be at work but has been unwell since Friday evening and never left his bed yesterday. He has a chesty cough and was still running a temperature (39) when I took it yesterday evening. Our eldest is at his girlfriend's in London but will be back later, along with her I expect.

Well done @RichardsUsername on your HS this morning and @Pam123 on yours yesterday

No special plans for today but we're a day adrift with the laundry, so will have a look shortly to see what we have and then take a walk down to Morrisons to pick up a newspaper, some things for lunch and anything we need for dinner tonight,

Enjoy your Sunday - there seems to be no end in sight to the blue skies and sunshine but what's the betting it will end with thunderstorms and torrential rain, as usual?
 
5.7 for moi.
I also discovered yersterday that it's possible to have a hba1c if 83 and still have fairly normal fasting glucose.
This indicates, apparently, that liver insulin resistance has not developed and the rise is due to muscle insulin resistance and is possibly an indication that it's quite early in the progression of the disease.
 
3.2 after being woken by the Libre alarm:( Last night’s correction was obviously too heavy handed!

Now back in range and ready for another family day - off to see my wife’s nephew and children (his wife is a doctor and unfortunately working today). We went to my wife’s other nephew’s 30th birthday last night and will be seeing her niece and fiancé tomorrow- so a real family oriented weekend! Lovely to be able to do all this without fretting over not having any time free, just loving this retirement lark!

Take care everyone and have a good Sunday!
 
7 for me but rising 9.2 before I had chance to log it. Yet another wall-wall sunshine'd morning - is this a (very) early summer we all hope for, nah it'll be chucking it down before long.

We got up bright and early after watching 'A Cry from the Dark' last night on't telly. Hopefully I can remain well-enough (Headwise) to get out to church this morning. I even washed my locks to give me an added (get out get motivated) boost.

Yesterday's trip on to the front made for memories always the breeze was cutting. Spoke to a chips vendor why kept on moving his pitch every fifteen minutes to a more lucrative spot. Selling crisps on a stick in 5 fruity flavours for a fiver. No bloody chance!
Embargo's was disappointing as we didn't recognise a soul in it's clientele. Still very busy. The coke was passable but nothing that said wow as a very cold one sometimes does.

Congratulations are in order to @RichardsUsername on your HS.
 
Good morning 6.9 for me today

congrats on the HS @RichardsUsername

Had a lay in today, but was awake just after 7am, I’ve a medication review booked with GP in a fortnights time so need to book my blood test
my last Hba1c was last September that was prior to seeing a Endocrinologist, the Libra is estimating will be 45, so should be somewhere under the respectable 48 the last result was, due to a number of recent low sugars my TIR (last 7 days) reduced down to 89% have dropped my Insulin dose again.

we found the tree Mrs @goodybags was after yesterday, it only just fitted in the car, it’s a particular crab apple tree she was after.
I did suggest to her we both take a walk today, we could both could do with more exercise, but think she will be cooking and gardening most of the day, I might go on my own which can be relaxing or swim later Im not a strong swimmer (never have been plus when swimming my bad co ordination is apparent) I like being in the water don’t enjoy it so so much if the pool is busy, if that makes sense.

enjoy the Sunshine, if you’ve got clear blue skies, we have here today
TC 😎
 
Good morning folks. 7.7 today. Blue sky and sunshine again but still quite cool. Apparently frosty when hubby did chicken duty. I let the cat out at 4.45am and zombies back to bed. It was still dark.

Congrats on the HS @RichardsUsername

Sorry to hear your new roommate is keeping everyone awake and generally annoying patients and staff @TinaD

Has the hangover subsided after breakfast @eggyg ?

Hope you are feeling better soon @Grannylorraine

Friends coming over for dinner later today so a quick spruce round is in order.
Have a nice Sunday folks

I feel a lot better thanks, my head still a bit sore but I’m sure I’ll be fine very soon. I’m a social drinker only, and not very good at it, I don’t get a lot of practice. I had a whopping FIVE medium glasses of Sauvignon Blanc and didn’t even finish the last one. I’m blaming the convivial atmosphere. Never again. ( Until the next time). 😉
 
It was a 5.9 for me this morning and I went to bed on 6.9 but I spent a couple of hours in the red in between, so my slack washing line graph was clearly trailing on the ground. 🙄 My Libre alarm did apparently wake me up because according to my reader log, I scanned at 1.19am when I was 4.2 with an horizontal arrow, but seemingly did nothing about it. I have no real recollection of it but waking up through the night and scanning is so routine that I just do it automatically and I am back to sleep in seconds. I obviously didn't go low enough to trigger hypo symptoms and wake me up and my liver slowly brought me back up, so no big deal.
 
Congratulations @RichardsUsername on you HS.

5.4 today.

Going to pop across and see my parents later with my 2 sons (eldest popped back unexpectedly for the weekend as he's in the middle of his big final project before graduation and is feeling. We recently lost my uncle (my dad's brother) and I want to check in with my dad.

Hope everyone's Sunday is bright/restful/fun (delete as applicable).

Morning all and 6.9 for me.

Sunny again but still a bit on the chilly side.

Dug a load of dandelions and other assorted nuisances yesterday. Hopefully get some wildflower seeds in my later.

Have a good day everyone.

Dandelions ARE wild flowers and great for all pollinators as they are a good early source of pollen and nectar for bees. I love dandelions and so do my horses and chickens and bees.
 
Morning all. A 4.7 for me earlier this fine sunny day.

Morning all. 7.3 after being in the stratosphere at bedtime and giving myself a 1.5 unit correction, I don’t like doing correction late at night but I took the plunge and did it. According to my graph it didn’t start doing down for over three hours! Then hovered all night along the 7/8 line. I never stood a cat in hell’s chance of getting a HS! Ah well, it is what it is.

Lovely pootling day yesterday, got the household admin done, and some silly little jobs I’ve been putting off for weeks but actually only took 10 minutes, like sorting my poufeé out, full of old magazines and rubbish. I also sorted out my old gift bag of old gift bags and wrapping paper, full of scrappy bits of wrapping paper that wouldn’t wrap a single Quality Street never mind a full tub! Now I only have full sheets or rolls of wrapping paper, well, I’ve maybe kept some half decent pieces, I can’t abide waste. Cue having to do it again in a couple of months!

Today will be a quiet morning relaxing, then a bubbly bath, then I’ll dress in my glad rags and we’re off “out, out” to meet six friends in the pub at 3pm, we’ll be home and in our PJs by 9pm, I’m not a party animal like our @PattiEvans!

Have a super, sunny Saturday.

@Robin I’m not keen on Ferraro Roche so I think I’ll just stick to my hard, cold chocolate which like @Martin.A I keep in the fridge, much to Mr Eggy’s disgust.

@rebrascora good luck with your aubergines, you’re a bit late, should have started them in January, we “ grew” them last year, started them in the house early Jan, popped them in the greenhouse in the spring, lovingly tended them, the plants take up a lot of room, and we got three aubergines about 10 cms long! Good for nowt really. We haven’t planted them this year, it’s cheaper and less stressful to just pop to Aldi and buy one when I need it. 😉

Granddaughters used to love doing cutting and gluing with all the left over bits of paper, card, ribbons and the inevitable glitter so everything like that went into the craft box.
 
Evening all, very late on parade today. 5 on waking this morning.

Its been a lovely weekend. Hubby has been off both days so we went out for the day yesterday. Today we went to a little craft park with a garden centre and i bought 2 new plants to replace ones in pots that have died over winter. Then we went to the cinema to see Six. I've wanted to see it at the theatre for a while but i can never get tickets when it tours, its always a sell out (maybe i need to look at London another time we go). Anyway they were showing a screening at the cinema and it was fab. The atmosphere live must be incredible.

Mum is home from hospital with a care package. No more running to and from hospital, now will be running around between home and mums instead.

Hopd you've all had a goos day.

I have loads of Christmas cards in the “ special” drawer, they come out on occasion and get googly eyes stuck on them as well as little teeny tiny fluffy balls, glitter etc. I’m guilty of hiding the craft box on occasions!
 
Had real difficulty getting in to the forum this morning. Wouldn’t let me post anything and was taking an age to let me Like or respond to any posts. Dunno why. I blame the sangria.

Went up into the mountains today. Had intended to have lunch at a particular restaurant. Turned up. Was shown to a table where I was ignored completely for 20 so I got up and left. Apparently the food there is exceptionally good but I’ll never know.

Heard a woodpecker! Saw lizards. Saw some bird of prey hovering for ages before diving down and trying to grab something.
Saw these too:

Oh and BG has been fine !

Dandelions are great...but not when they bully everything else out of the garden LOL. If nature had its way, I’d just have 3 plants in my garden, all fighting for pole position - bindweed from hell, dandelions on steroids and forget-me-nots with six packs. 😉 😉 😉

At least all 3 of those produce bonny flowers. I have nettles, docks, mares tail and ground elder. Will very happily swap you!
