Group 7-day waking average?

11:40 BS no idea, forgot to test! 😳

SO used to my usual tesco slots of 13:00 to 14:00 or 14:00 to 15:00 that I’d forgotten that the this one was, on Tuesday for a start instead of Monday, 10:00 to 11:00 as last week & this week I had extreme difficulty getting ANY slots at all & had to take what was left! o_O

So, still in dreamland when I heard the doorbell! Now I do often hear non existent door bells on the cusp of sleep, usually of waking but, have had the occasional sleeping, & having gone to the front
numerous times to nothing I’ve come to accept that little phenomenon & don’t go unless there’s repeated ringing OR I’m expecting something by post. I nearly did the same here but, remembered tesco shopping & fumbled into my dress & went with wild, sleep mussed hair! 😱 It was indeed the shopping! Everything was there, including Canadian cooked prawns that I haven’t been able to get since Christmas BUT, no honey! Put it all away & that’s still a taxing breathless task even though I back onto maintenance inhalers only & bunged a beef stew in the mircowave. I had my midday meds a little early at 11:34 & both insulins & dived in! So, I don’t know what my waking BS was. Just finished eating, that was fast, & thought of posting!😳🙄

That was a bit stressful & that always puts up my BS almost instantly so, I know it was elevated & I stuck in an extra 2 units of NR, after eating just before posting. Will see where I’m at later for any corrections? o_O🙄

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

PS:- A bit of a frazzled bunny, looked it too with the wild hair, but, calming down now! Have decided now that I’m back to tea & it’s been heavenly, hence 3 cups teapots instead of the usual 2, I’m sticking with tea & go back to 2 cups pots & just 1 tsp of caramel syrup! Hopefully that’ll be ok on the BS? As I’ve had a thought that it’s one thing to have 1 mug of latte with 2 tsp; it’s quite another, OTT, to have 3 cups of tea with 6 tsp! 😱 Should have thought of that, really!😳

2nd. PS:- edited to correct numerous typos so, maybe JUST a bit frazzled, still? o_O:D😉

A mug of something hot to warm you up on the inside then, a hot water bottle over your clothes & under the duvet to keep that heat on the inside, possibly two if you have it for one at your feet & one to hug beneath the duvet! It’s still freezing here too & the snow on the ground, day 4 or 5 now I can’t remember, is still quite thick! So, it’s definitely another duvet day for me too with intermittent golf & audible book listening: Richard Osman The Thursday Murder Club! o_O🙄😛:D😎😉
 
Hi i missed posting yesterday, was distracted by the police. Went out for a walk in the afternoon, past the house opposite, i heard some voices in their garden but didn't think anything of it. Came back a little while later to find a police car outside my house and a policeman outside the house opposite. That was followed by two more police cars, and an ambulance. Police were around for 5 hours including forensics last night. Still no idea what happened. More to follow as lunch is ready...

Ooh! I’m in suspense! o_O🙄
 
I CAN talk about this NOW but, couldn’t at the time, especially to my parents who were both still alive back then, Mum passed in 2015!

I’ve met a real live murderer & our little hometown had a murderer that was a dentist. He’d gotten clean away with it but, his conscience had obviously been troubling him & he confessed to the double murder of a Coleraine, the next town up from us, policeman & his own wife 20 years before! He went to my church & generally thought of as a rather tragic but, nice man. Everyone THOUGHT his wife had been having an affair, with the policeman, & they had killed themselves in a car with the exhaust pipe & hose attached running into the car leaving behind him & his daughter. Everyone was in total shock, including the police who hadn’t suspected in the 20 years since, when he went to our church elders with the confession. The church elders then helped him confess & turn himself into the police! It was a HUGE SCANDAL & the court case was riddled with the press every day! Because, the policeman’s wife pleaded not guilty! He & the police man’s wife were having an affair, not the other way around! 😱

My mum was a practicing budist, like a lot of Chinese in/from Hong Kong & never approved of but, accepted, my going to church. I didn’t dare say anything at the time when this all happened! But, I still cannot believe that nice man was a double murderer! 😱

Sorry to leave you in suspense...but me too have no idea what happened and the only way i can find out would be to knock on all my neighbours doors and i really don't know them. I didn'tsee a body. Could have been an assult or a drugs bust i imagine. And now you will all think i live somewhere horrible, but not really.

Blood sugars still rising in the mornings to a very consistant 12 . To add to my frustration i received a letter from the hospital delaying my appointment as so many staff have been redeployedbecause of covid. I have a form to fill in and then i will get a telephone appointment i hope.

Keep hearing on the news that they are opening more covid centres in devon and then on facebook that the local covid centre has run out of vaccines and was not open for the last two days.

@KARNAK will meet first for a coffee on the beach as soon as allowed and make plans for a trip. @ColinUK you are more than welcome to join us. I have spare rooms and three tents in the garage so i'm having a diabetes uk festival dàydream at the moment.

Finally must be delivery day for all of us not able to stay up till midnight and grab the best slots. Jealous of the subs as i never seem to get them from Waitrose, just lots of short dates. Tomorrow i get fruit and veg delivery box and eggs. I don't know how i manage it but i seem to have a fridge and two freezers full and still find that i am missing the vital ingredients that the chef requires!

I know what you mean! Our little town went through that phase & we all felt that bit of notorious shame around outsiders & tourists for a while! :(
 
@SaraKaya the dark chocolate oranges are divine aren't they!? I've not opened any of my 4 yet! I bought 2 white to try as well that were £3.10 and swiftly got a refund for as the boxes burst open on transportation and then a kind soul sent me a milk one so I'll be TCO'd out! haha xx
 
@Lanny you may recall my sister in law lives in Ballymoney, so she too knew the dentist! Both my sisters in law knew him. I watched the TV mini series that they made. It was very interesting and well acted. James Nesbitt from memory?

It can be a very strange world. For the first couple of years after my wife & I got married we lived in Muswell Hill. We were on Linden Road and we walked along Cranley Gardens to the bus most days and past the house where Dennis Nilson was killing all those young men!!

Will you please stop mentioning more possible brands of chocolate that I might just be tempted to try. 😛
You've already got me hooked on that Godiva stuff. :D

Yeah! It CAN be @HenryBennett o_O🙄

It’s a fallacy that you can tell something’s not right about murderer’s: I didn’t know him that well as it was a large church; met him a few times during church functions & never got ANY vibes! 🙄

And yet, sometimes...
I worked with a chap some years ago who I never much liked. We travelled together quite extensively. He was always on edge and had a short fuse. It turned out he was on the run from NSW Police for the murder of his girlfriend. He was eventually extradited having fled to a ski resort in France. He was convicted of murder but after a few years had it overturned on appeal.
I was often asked if I thought he’d done it. I always said not being there I couldn’t know, but I felt he was capable of murder.

I should have added. His name is Gordon Wood and he was extradited to Australia. They also made a TV mini series in Australia (before his appeal) but it was poorly acted and rubbish.
