Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 6.1. Our heating came on this morning it must be cooler today. Busy day doing housewife things. Washing, shopping and cooking etc. Mr Eggy is doing husband things, painting the back of the house. Should get it finished today. It’s pink! Subtle though. Have a super Saturday. 🙂
 
Morning all, 6.0 here. Had a lovely walk and outdoor coffee with friend yesterday, then did a load of gardening in the afternoon, and managed not to hypo once. the DF is obv playing at someone else's house at the moment.

Traditional foods include things like honey cake, round challah bread (with raisins and chocolate inside), pomegranate, apple dipped in honey.
Those are all ceremonial really as it’s meant to add sweetness to your coming year about the shape (round) signifies a new start.
The pomegranate is meant to contain 613 seeds and that’s meant to represent each one of the laws in the Torah.

As for the meal itself, well as you’re not supposed to do work on the festival itself it’s traditional to have a cold buffet. Probably something like fried fish, poached salmon, salads etc. That’s easier than having cold meats because of the rules about mixing milk and meat. It means you can have cream with dessert this way rather than being after meat in which case you couldn’t.

And cold fried fish isn’t in batter but is dipped in egg and matzo meal (finely ground matzo) then fried. It’s nearly always served cold and is delicious!

Good look! LOL sorry couldn't resist xx
 
Morning all. 5.3 this morning after a hypo in the night which I slept through so I think the Libre is lying. It has not been behaving well and seems to be running about 2 below my BG. It has been fairly consistent so I just apply the fungi factor to readings but always checked hypos even though I knew they were unlikely.

Back after an excellent week walking the SW coastal Path in glorious weather.
Looking forward to catching up on news
 
Morning folks, well under 100g carbs yesterday and still a 6.9 today, it’s a puzzle!!
Saw a post yesterday asking for dogs with phobias and problems to be part of the new Dogs Behaving Very Badly on Channel 5 and I have sent them an email regarding Misty, don’t suppose I’ll hear back but got to be worth a try. I have also bitten the bullet and am getting a dog buggy for her to see if I can get her out that way, probably won’t work but again it’s worth a try. My friend bought one second hand to sell on and they’re going to let me have it to see if she will be ok in it. Not holding my breath, I must be nuts.
Anyway back home today so best get on. Have a lovely weekend x

Good luck with the eye appointment @freesia 🙂 & you might need these if you’re getting dilating drops in for your test? 😎

Hope i'm not getting the drops. I had my retinopothy test in February so should be ok.
 
Well....just back from the Opticians and have been very pleasantly surprised.
3 years ago i went to Specsavers, got varifocal glasses and sunglasses and they cost me almost £400! So you can imagine i was dreading this morning.
On hubby's advice (as he had been there last year) i went to Asda Opticians. Staff were all really friendly and when i come to trying on frames, i had personal assistance from a Dispensing Assistant (although that was probably due to Covid). Anyway, a pair of varifocal glasses AND sunglasses, both with lenses made thinner came to the grand total of.............

£120!!!!!!. A massive saving. I hope their ok now when they come.
