Group 7-day waking average?

And that would be the push for me to finally get back into the daily habit of wearing a watch. And of buying a smart watch.

Not worn a watch at all for something like 20 years or so since I left the City.

It will certainly be a reason for me to upgrade.

My mother was Swiss and had a love of good watches which I inherited. I spent the whole of my first paycheque (51 years ago) on an Omega that I still have. I regret somewhat now wearing a computer on my wrist with all my watches sitting in a drawer, but it’s become pretty well indispensable.
 
10:47 BS 11.5😱 Oops!😳 Obviously under bolused for a rather weird dinner last night! I had eggs, smoked salmon, a 3 cups pot of tea, dollops of heinz saucy mayonnaise, basically prawn cocktail sauce, &, because I’d finished the honey before tomorrow’s tesco shopping, Monin caramel syrup, usually 2 tsp in latte & 3 nice biscuits.The tea was strangely nice albeit, a bit muted in sweetness so put in 2 tsp per cup, that’s 6 tsp for 3 cups: thought 1 would suffice as coffee always needed more sweetness for me; but, it’s more of added nuanced aroma & not as sweet tasting as honey! But, I know precisely where I am with honey in tea & caramel syrup in latte, for that matter: didn’t know syrup in tea; guessed the bolus & got it wrong!🙄 So, no tea today, then & will bolus for latte instead: turned back into my usual tea person recently & haven’t had any latte in a few weeks but, I know to bolus 10 extra units for * 2 tsp of caramel in latte!🙄

Not quite hungry yet but, 12 units of NR is in already, 2 units per mmol I want to go down at this early stage after waking when I’m most resistant! Will cook & eat brunch in about 90 minutes, I estimate, & bolus as usual for that as the 12 units isn’t enough to tackle DP but, as long as I don’t leave it over 2 hours to eat the tail end of the correction dose added to normal breakfast bolus brings me around target range 90 minutes to 2 hours after eating!🙄

I woke to lovely bright sunshine though the gap in my curtains & it feels a bit warmer than yesterday! Last night was still freezing, though! 🙂

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

Edited to add:- * amount of caramel syrup in latte ie. 2 tsp.
 
Morning all - 7.4 @ 11:00. A bit high, but i'm happy with that as it's my first reading after a full set of night shifts.

Have a great day all 🙂

Snap! Ours cooked for 8 hours in the slow cooker with red wine, balsamic vinegar, red onion and garlic and then erved with cauli mash (for me, anyway) and roasted vegetables (red onion, courgette, carrot, orange pepper, cherry toms and cauliflower). As a treat I had a couple of small roast potatoes, too.

We don't have lamb often (previous time was back in October) but when we do we always have it that way.

We had lamb too yesterday. Studded with garlic and rosemary, lots of S&P and a liberal dousing of olive oil. Long and low. Some left to go with our haggis, tatties and neeps tonight. We don’t have it very often, bit pricey!

It's my son's favourite along with roast loin of pork - he loves crackling.

If you have Tom Kerridge's book "Fresh Start" his Greek style Roast Lamb with Greek salad is perfect for a summer Sunday afternoon in the garden with a large jug of iced Pimm's....

I love Greek food, and Greece, can’t beat a Greek lamb dish. I’m drooling now and need to get to Greece. We had planned a six week island hopping trip last year to celebrate our 60ths. Not even sure it’ll happen this year. I’ll just have to stick to cooking their delicious food.
 
Evening all. 8.2 @ 7.57am We're watching Vera. 🙂
 
Morning all, 7.2 today. Only did 3 hours at work yesterday, will see what today brings.
Have a good one x
 
Morning all,
A 6.2 this morning.
Eye test today...
Think I will get new frames, these ones are so annoying!

Blessings Snowwy
 
3.6 Pick up sticks. Too low for me looks like the treadmill is taking affect even though I fell off it last night, just wish I was filming it, could have got £200 from you've been framed and no I didn't have the safety clip on so got cocky.
 
Morning all. A close, but no cigar, 5.3. Yet another frosty morning up here. Today’s excitement....Tesco Click and Collect, “let’s guess what the substitutions will be!” Good game, good game! Pick up 10-12, Mr Eggy will be there 10.01, I’ve ran out of 85%, let’s hope Tesco hasn’t! Have a good day everyone, bet it’s not as exciting as mine. 😛
 
Morning all, 5.5 here. put a new sensor on yesterday, back on the left arm, and got two lovely compression dips overnight.
Still a white wonderland outside, but it’s due to rain later, so cue dirty slushy puddles everywhere.
 
Disappointing 9.1 for me today, but I haven't exercised for 3 days and it seems I only need to eat late when I exercise. Upped my basal to 5 units last night but clearly not enough. Must put some miles on the clock today to bring things back into some order.
