Morning all. 5.7 today and out early doors to babysit our three youngest. Should be fun! We’ve been promised a mostly dry day with sunshine, that’ll be nice for a change. Has been a very, very wet week. Have a nice day. 🙂

How old are they? And have a good day, you deserve it 🙂
 
5.4 this morning. Another cold, wet and windy day.

Another day to work with friends on their Secret Folds books, like my demo one.
They were used in China historically to store sewing threads and patterns for embroidery,
and created using handmade paper.

Are they young enough to go splashing in puddles?
Have a good day.

Congratulations @ColinUK on the House Special. Just missed it by 0.1 myself this morning. 🙂
I didn't get out yesterday to walk because of the continuous rain. It's not raining today but I have a bit of a dicky tum, so I won't be straying too far from the loo. :(

C'est la vie!

A boy of 13 and two girls 8 and 2, although I don’t think our Rhys would appreciate me saying we were “ babysitting” him! He’ll help Mr Eggy bang some nails in something and me and the girls will do some dancing and prancing about! If the rain stays off as promised we’ll go for a walk, they live in the back of beyond of the back of beyond, we could walk miles without seeing a car. Plenty of tractors though!

Are you ever too old to splash in puddles? They live on a farm, it’s usually one big puddle this time of year. Wellies in the boot of the car as we speak.

Morning all, 6.3 for me this morning. Had a spike overnight, probably because i made a low carb cauliflower cheese which was really good but higher in fat.
@Bexlee , hope your levels settle. I came down with a cold on Friday night though for some reason it didn't affect my levels as it usually does. Maybe you are coming down with something, it was a really long half term. Hope you've had a good rest.
@SB2015 , that folds book is lovely, very clever. I would love to be able to sew, can do cross stitch but thats it. Also taught myself to crochet during lockdown, only basic stitches but its a start

That looks interesting, is it a type of origami? It looks similar to something we made as children, a fortune telling sort of thing.
 
Good morning all. 7.7 @ 5.22am for me. 🙂 Well done @ColinUK and @khskel on the House Specials.
 
Congratulations on your House Special @ColinUK 😛😎😉

Love the origami @SB2015 😛 I’ve been doing origami since I was 11 years old: my elder brother lent me a book & he had a bookmark of a origami bird in it; took it apart & worked out how to make it by putting it back together! And I was off! I usually make my own but, I learnt the basic types of folds from books first like mountain, valley, sink & bases like petal etc. Did some compound projects too like roses & different flowers that include the stems & leaves but, they’re a lot of carefully measured work to get everything to fit together! Any piece of paper is never left alone for long in my hands: always at least practicing my folds, if not making anything, with sales receipts, bus tickets etc; in my restaurant days on quiet weeknights I’d litter the counters with birds to ease the boredom!🙄😛:D😉 Incidentally the semi-waterproof, reusable, wipeable paper table covers make really nice flowers but, ours were only in white so, all the flowers I made were restricted to white with green tissue paper & green wire doubled over & twisted for leaves & stems!🙄

07:56 BS 11.6🙄 Had a weird BS day in that, apart from waking, I was low all day, not hypo low but, in the 4’s so, decided to reduce basal from midnight & I maybe don’t need to reduce that one & it’s the midday basal that needs reducing? Only testing will tell! Yesterday’s waking was 7.8, after breakfast 8.3, before lunch 4.6, quite a drop, after lunch 8.2, before dinner 4.7, after dinner 8.2 & midnight Levemir 4.8 so, had an oatcake & reduced LR by -4! Uhm! Maybe a reduction of -2 might have been better? I’ll reduce midday LR by -2 & see what happens?🙄

Already had breakfast & added +2 correction & will see what BS is like later?🙄

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉

@SB2015 is your book made with handmade paper or have you used fabric?x
 
Well, after four successive days in the 5s I knew it couldn't last :(

I was expecting a 6 or even a 7 - certainly not a 4.8 at 07:14!

It was dry when I went out to do the chickens this morning but now I'm in the office it is raining quite hard
