Morning chaps and chapettes. 🙂 9.2 here...who nose?🙄🙂

Hope you’re feeling more relaxed this morning @freesia. Your Head sounds great. Take care. 🙂

Off to see my mum today - haven’t seen her for a couple of months because of restrictions. She’s extremely resilient, always upbeat, even tho she’s on her own. She keeps the whole family going!:D

Thanks @Bloden , feeling much better today. Still tired but nowhere near as emotional. Have a good time with your mum x

Really pleased that you have a supportive Head. I hope that the rest has helped, and if you need more time don’t be afraid to ask for it. I know it can feel like you are putting pressure on others but you need to look after yourself. You are too important and valuable not to.

Thanks @SB2015 , much better today. Certainly not so emotional today so have come in
 
Just back from picking up monitor & already a palaver getting the pads to stay stuck: possibility because I’m a bit sweaty; firmly stuck now, I hope with scotch tape! 🙄

It surprised me how many people were there picking heart monitors too! Maybe CV left them with faster heart rates too?😱🙄

My heart is still a bit fast from walking around anxiously at the entrance of the hospital as they were 7 minutes late & I was worried! Will let that calm down & then do my walk around the house!🙄
 
Well, I'm very pleased to report my old girl only failed on 3 relatively minor points.... a bit of welding, some handbrake adjustment and a wiper blade which I spotted this morning but knew I didn't have time to replace before the test. Been to see the very handy guy across the river from me who does those sort of repairs and he will fix her either later today or tomorrow. Off to get a wiper blade this afternoon and then she will be good to go for another year.... hopefully.
I don't think that is bad for a 20 year old car that often stands for weeks without doing any work and she runs sweet as a nut once you get her started.

Done a 5-6 mile jog/walk whilst she was being tested, so had my exercise for the day in the process and the sun is shining and it is another glorious autumnal day.

I can’t abide Nigella, sorry! She has a liquorice box for Gawds sake! A bit fake for me. Looking forward to Mastechef: The Professionals tonight, my favourite version of the show. After GBBO of course.

I don't like her either. Though I am not cookery show fan.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean by liquorice box.

I didn’t know there was such a thing neither Michael, but on last weeks show ( I’ll never get that half hour back) she pulled out her liquorice box! A wooden box all fancy, with different types of liquorice in, powdered etc. I didn’t know you could get that many types of liquorice, not something your everyday cook has in their kitchen. 🙂
 
Y'all make me lol. :D I quite like Nigella but don't watch, I'm jealous of her store cupboard, some people are so rich! Her family used to own the Lyon's Corner Houses and her Dad lost all that weight. Fascinating. I felt sorry for her when her hubby tried to strangle her on the balcony.

7.6 @ `11.44 late start as didn't go to bed till 6am with Mum having trouble in the night. I'm not cut out to be a carer, I have no patience. She does say tho that she doesn't know what she'd do without me so there's that. 🙄

Thank goodness you mentioned bins I must dash out quick...
 
Morning

Well new start date for the bathroom is the 27th, wish they had just been able to do it the last date but was safer not to

A couple more presents ordered last night with the Morrisons order, I’ll get there eventually with presents lol

Anyways its a 4.7 today
xx
 
5.2 this morning.

And that’s not Nigella’s actual kitchen you see on the telly. It’s a studio build loosely based on her kitchen.
I get that she’s from a wealthy family but that doesn’t detract from her writing skills, and she’s a cookery writer more than a TV chef.
Anyway the world would be a dull place of we all liked exactly the same thing!


Note to self: reorganise liquorice box today
 
Morning All. A 6.7 for me.

Have a great day whatever you’re up to.
 
Good morning. 6.6 for me this morning.
Have a good day everyone
 
Morning all. I’m with @freesia on the 6.6 step. I’m so glad yesterday is over, auntie’s funeral was a surreal experience, everyone masked, all the chairs set our separately so even couples couldn’t sit together to support each other. The service being live streamed to my cousin in Italy and audio relayed to mourners outside. A recording of The Lord’s my Shepherd played, then we went home. No milling around exchanging anecdotes about our missing loved one, no condolences or hugs and of course no wake. I hope I never have to go through that again. I can’t imagine how my cousins must have been feeling. :(
Today I’m going to try and get back my get up and go which sadly had got up and gone! I feel like I’d just been holding my breath for the last two weeks but now the funeral is over and my goodbyes have been said, I do, strangely, feel more calm. Have a good day everyone and hope you all have your best day. 🙂
And @ColinUK you’re correct, it’s a good job we are all different, but I’m still not watching Nigella and it’s nothing to do with her liquorice box! 😉
 
Well, I blew my run of good readings and I am cross with myself!
8.7 for me this morning but only because I dropped to 2.4 on the Libre at 2am. Probably not really quite as low as 2.4 but I wasn't wasting time doing a finger prick because I had rather interesting lights flashing behind my eyelids in the dark.
I didn't have an evening meal last night and my levels had been slowly rising all night and whilst I had had exercise yesterday, it wasn't as exertive as usual so I thought maybe it wouldn't have the same effect so took 1 unit of Fiasp (no Levemir) to bring me down a bit from 9.4 as I headed off to bed at 8.20pm. I was absolutely shattered for some reason and crashed early. Woke at midnight on 4.9 and really should have taken some carbs on board then, but didn't and paid the price. Really hard to believe that the tail end of my Levemir 17 hours earlier did that to me, but presumably in conjunction with my muscles clawing glucose back, it did.

@ColinUK Can't believe you got another one! Well done!
