Group 7-day waking average?

@Gwynn and @khskel congratulations on the HS.

4.2 for me this morning, second night after increasing basal so need to keep an eye on it. Not much planned for today apart from possibly starting to clean some kitchen cupboards :confused: .

Just off to start prepping veg to go in slow book beef stew. Have a good day folks!
 
GoodMorning World a disappointing 8.7 today
I know the reason why
snack before bed yesterday and had two slices not one
 
A 6.1 for me on a wet and miserable West Berkshire morning. Chicken and leeks in blue cheese sauce last night and chicken casserole tonight. The chicken thighs for tonight's casserole went into red wine last night and are marinating in the fridge. Should be tasty!

Congrats on the HSs @Gwynn and @khskel

@Gwynn isn't it time you started sharing them around? 🙂

Have a great day everyone regardless of what you are up to.

YoYo readings at the moment - 6.8 Sunday, 5.0 yesterday, 6.0 this morning. Didn't sleep well and got up feeling a bit rough so have skipped the morning walk and am watching the tennis instead. My wife decided she'd go and get the newspaper but the heavens have just opened so I hope she took an umbrella and keeps the newspaper dry.

@Gwynn congrats on the HS

Yes I don't care if my wife gets soaked as long a the paper is dry that's most important, ever tried towelling down a newspaper it's not easy 😉
 
And who says romance is dead... 🙂

Morning good peeps. :D 7.2 here - HS’s distant cousin. Some very random BG shenanigans going on at the mo. How much concrete did you pour on top of the DF @Northerner?

Nice work @Gwynn.🙂

So much mud @eggyg o_O it’s one step forward, then slide backwards, one step forward...you get the picture. I feel like I’m doing double the amount of exercise!

Are you home yet @Ralph-YK?

I was two inches taller by the time I got home yesterday! Don’t actually know how I stayed upright. Off for a repeat performance today, glutton for punishment!

Morning all and a HS for me.

Off for eye scan this morning. It's looking nice and dull out there.

Have a good day everyone.

Congrats on HS, take your sunnies you know it makes sense. It’s bound to be bright for just the duration of the walk home.
 
7.2 @ 5.35am hope you all had a good Shrove Tuesday, what are you giving up for Lent? :D

A social life. lol

LOL. I haven't got one of them to give up! The only thing I've got is the telly and there's no way I'm giving that up!
 
I’m limiting myself to only 24/hrs per day maximum of telly.
 
No one has ever been able to provide me with a logical or practical reason to give up something for lent, so I’ve never participated.
 
I should probably give up pork scratchings and/or alcohol. They would both involve significant effort in my current lifestyle.
TV went nearly 20years ago, potatoes 2 years ago.
I think life is difficult enough at the moment though so I am going to just continue treating myself as and when I need to to get through this dire situation.
 
02:55 BS 6.7 JUST about ok with that BUT, it DOES tell me something as that’s with 2 hours of DP as I couldn’t get back to sleep after midnight LR: without DP it’ll would have been in the 4’s; dose needs coming down a bit? I’ll start lowering tomorrow night as tonight’s is already in! 🙄 & an “Ah Ha!”emoji! Should have twigged earlier, really, as the other morning I woke with 4.7 then, had a bedtime snack the following night to wake on 7.2! “Duh!” Hitting my forehead emoji!:D😉

I’ve never given up anything for lent but, did realise quite some time ago, thanks to my college years in Derry, the hypocrisy of chocolate Easter Eggs long before I ever became diabetic & didn’t have them from then on! 🙄 Eggs, real ones as opposed to chocolate, meant something entirely different to my family in that it was a tradition, started by my mum, of having 2 boiled eggs for breakfast on your birthday: from the Hakka farming days of only having 1 chicken to lay eggs for 7 people; eggs were scrambled, mixed with milk, mixed with mince pork & steamed to feed the family so, getting the eggs all to yourself was a special treat!o_O Nowadays a fairly common variation of that dish is the addition of preserved salted duck egg yolks mixed in: the family couldn’t afford the then luxury of preserved salted duck eggs; the white’s are rarely ever used as it’s VERY salty & it’s all about the yolks!😛 My dad who REALLY likes salty food DOES eat the whole egg, including the whites, with steamed fish that’s TOO salty for the rest of us!😱:D

An extremely early Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
