Group 7-day waking average?

Early doors for me. 5.6 on this Friday babysitting day. A wee bit achy this morning as we decided to go Wainwright bagging yesterday. As usual ended up on all fours scrambling up heather clad fellsides! Managed it without any incidents, thank goodness, unless you count having sheep poo under my nails! I’m too old for all that carry on, I’m not doing anymore! I think I said that last time! Have a great day, I’m spending mine running ( gingerly) after a toddler! :D
 
Morning all, 5.8 here. Off to meet a friend for a socially distanced coffee and walk round a NT property in High Wycombe, which is half way between where we live. We used to meet in John Lewis, but they still hadn’t opened their coffee shop at the time we made the date.

Hope you’re feeling better now @freesia Thankfully it’s Friday again tomorrow. It seems tough all round dealing with educational madness which won’t help with levels. I keep think it’s just my place but talking to friends in other schools it’s everywhere. I’ve had my moments this week starting with me libre sensor reader been “borrowed” from my desk. It mysteriously reappeared today .... little monkeys although that’s not what I was calling them.

Hey @Bexlee, thanks. Its been a very long 2 weeks and so full on i don't know whether i'm coming or going most days. If i didn't get so exhausted from changing levels it would be easier but its a circle atm. Things going on in home life as well atm so no respite. I bet you're glad you got your reader back!! So pleased its Friday. Have a good day x

These are the ingredients:

50g butter plus butter for the dish
50g plain flour
300ml whole milk (the flour and the milk are the carbs)
100g grated strong cheddar (I like Isle of Mull cheddar cos it’s tangy and uses unpasteurised milk) but use any cheese you like.
4 large free range eggs
1 tsp mustard powder

Preheat the oven to 200C (fan 180)

it’s all pretty simple really. Melt the 50g butter in a saucepan, then add the flour and hand whisk till the butter is absorbed. Slowly add the milk while still whisking until all the milk is used. Add in the cheese, and stir till the cheese has melted, then toss in the mustard powder.

Put that aside to cool
until it is lukewarm.

While that is cooling, carefully separate the yolks from the whites of the eggs. Don’t get any yolk in the whites. Stir the yolks into the cheese mix. In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until you get soft peaks.

Butter the inside of a 15cm diameter 8cm high soufflé dish. If you like, you could line the bottom and sides of the dish with non stick baking paper.

Last bit... fold about a quarter of the whisked eggs into the cheese mix. Don’t mix furiously, you’ll lose all the air. That makes the cheese mix easier to work. Now add the rest of the whisked eggs and gently fold this into the mix, and pour this into the soufflé dish.

Put on a baking tray in the middle of the oven and cook for around 30 minutes. Do NOT open the oven to see how it is doing, that will collapse the soufflé.

Serve immediately and enjoy. We just had it with a simple salad. There’s enough for 3-4, but I could eat the whole thing. Better minds than mine can add up the total calories, I can’t be bothered. When all is said and done, it’s mostly air.😉

Sounds delicious
 
Morning all and 7.2 for me due to over treating a bed time hypo.

Basal reduced by 5 units from 18 to 13 since last week. Still work in progress.

May indulge in some car cleaning today

Have a good day everyone.
 
Well its a much more acceptable 5.8 this morning. After the last few days of highs its a welcome relief.
Have a good day everyone. Its Friday!!x
 
Morning all. :D 3.3 here.

There’s a real chill in the air this morning, brrrr.

Well done @Bexlee and @freesia for making it to the end of the week! I’m clapping you both and all my friends who are teachers...🙂
 
Morning all, 6.4 today, beautiful day again with a nice breeze. Couldn’t get Misty out again so had to do a short walk on my own, see what today brings.
@khskel think I might join you in some car cleaning, mines a real mess from all the dust from the building work next door.
@freesia hope things all round improve for you.
@northener another great poem
@HenryBennett you numbers are great, you don’t need to always be below 5.
@Edwin Wine congrats, well done great result
Have a good day everyone x
 
PS anyone heard from Ted @KARNAK ?
 
Drum roll and fanfare please.....
7.30am this morning, my Libre alarm went off and I scanned (as per my post of intended action yesterday) and what do you know, I was rewarded with a lovely and extremely rare for me, 5.2 House Special. Yippee!! Nearly makes up for my meet up with my friend being cancelled today due to restrictions.
Been out and done about 6 miles this morning, brisk walk/yomp/jog and needed 3 pieces of dried fruit to keep me in range. Glorious day here again today so I might have a look into my bees and see if there is a bit of surplus honey to take in lieu of rent ..... so difficult not to lick sticky fingers.
Also must finish pruning and cordoning my apricots and plums. Should have been done a couple of months ago but think I will get away with it since the weather is dry and bright.
 
Thanks @Lanny. It really is a red letter day for me to get one!
The thing is that I woke up feeling really groggy when the Libre alarm went off and I would have really liked to go back to sleep but after my post yesterday and that reading, I just had to get up.
Libre shows I was up in the 7s all night and then dipped to that 5.2 at 7.30am but then it was on it's way back up again 5 mins after putting my feet on the floor. So lucky to catch it right at that moment.
 
Hope everyone’s doing fine. Hopefully I’ll be getting test strips eventually! No idea why it’s taking quite so long but heigh-ho...

And to my fellow Jews in here, Shana Tova U’Metukah!

My wife and I are NT members and are fortunate to have several NT sites within a short drive. We drove through High Wycombe to get to Hughenden last year, which has a fascinating history. Unfortunately most NT properties are closed and only the grounds are open at present, but we mainly go for the long walks in open countryside anyway so that's not a problem.

Enjoy your day.

Thankyou, (we tend to go for the outdoors rather than the interiors!) I had a lovely walk up to the Disraeli monument, and coffee in the orchard, all in glorious sunshine. We joined the NT when the kids were small, and used them as 'service stations' on long car trips. Always sure of a loo, a café, and space to walk off excess energy, before finishing the journey. Though if I suggest a trip to a NT garden to my son now he’s grown up, he always replies 'As long as we don’t have to stop and look at every single flower...'
