Group 7-day waking average?

[ColinUK]

Morning

9.9 for me and getting VERY frustrated

Watched a wee bit of Strictly last night before I needed to get on and went on Facebook this morning to see someone had posted in a group that the new dancer Nikita was wearing a Libre sensor, not sure if he has diabetes or not
xx

He’s T1D

 

[Kaylz]

He’s T1D

Yeah found that out since I posted but there's nothing on Google about it and I didn't actually hear it mentioned but I didn't see all of it, only about 45 minutes of it xx

I’m taking it from the venerable Partha Kar but quite rightly it’s not being highlighted and should be normalised.
I didn’t even notice the CGM yesterday!

10.8 today. After two days in a row of waking in the 13s I was relieved to get back in the 10s. Hope it continues.

. I was just listening to a radio program yesterday about "exercise snacking", where it sounded like Michael Mosely expounding the virtues of small regular bite sized periods of exercise throughout the day to raise your heart rate and make you breath more deeply. Just 10 -15 mins 3 x a day was what he was recommending I think although I was listening in the car and reception wasn't great, so I didn't get all the details.

It was Michael Mosley! 15 minute Radio 4 program, available on 'Sounds' for over a year (not the usual 30 days), one of a lengthy series called 'Just One Thing' ( to improve your health and wellbeing). Previous episode was 'Eat Chocolate'! and another was 'Stand on One Leg'.

12:11 BS 7.8 🙂 Better.

A Very G’day Mates & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Some very eagled eyed members out there as I didn’t spot the libre either on the new dancer! 😎

I’m REALLY looking forward to see what Robert Webb can do: was absolutely brilliant in Let’s Dance for Comic Relief in a leotard to Flashdance’s “What a Feeling”; triple spins & pretty much properly danced seriously! 😛 And following Nicola Adams & Katya Jones last year, there’s another first of John Whaite & Johannes Redbe that looks very interesting!🙄

Rather annoyingly the BBC Strictly website STILL hasn’t updated the pro’s page so, couldn’t read up on the four new pros! Just a quick check now & it’s still not been updated yet!

Meanwhile, on the Bond films front, I’ve now reached Moonraker, which I saw half of before falling asleep late last night.

Just before that I LOVED rewatching The Spy Who Loved Me: my first & never forgotten Bond; holds SO many memories! The submarine car sequence was what I remembered the most & just as good watching it again. I remember Top Gear once tried to build a submarine car of their own & it sprang leaks everywhere!

Also, been a bit of a multitasker here, listening to the new continuation of the Howl books by Dianna Wynn Jones’ audiobooks excellently read by Kristin Atherton just out in July 2021. Heard “Howl’s Moving Castle” when it first came out & the other two, “Castle in the Air” & “House of Many Ways” was in the pipeline to be done; obviously delayed, SO many things were, by Covid but now both done! Listened to “Castle in the Air” yesterday & will hear “House of Many Ways” today! I highly recommend it as they are all the full versions & CAN be heard alongside reading the books 😛: ones read by John Sessions, bought previously, are abridged, though excellently performed, are very short & the books can’t be read alongside!

AND, lastly, the new Felix Francis “Iced” is just out, 16th. September, & I haven’t bought it yet as the audiobook is STILL not out yet: sometimes the audiobooks are quite late coming out AFTER the kindle book has already launched; will wait & see when/if it comes out before I buy the two together! 🙄

Have you tried things like scotch bonnet chilli peppers chopped and sprinkled near entrances?
Entrances the badger uses to get into the garden rather than any other kind of entrance! Citronella also is reported to work as is human male pee.
The folks had a badger set nearby and tried the chilli pepper thing and it worked but only once they’d used scotch bonnets so it must be something to do with the strength on the Scoville scale which matters.

I know chilli is supposed to deter squirrels from eating the bird seed in the feeders, it seems to work.
I had blamed badgers for eating my sweetcorn but I'm now inclined to think it was squirrels as there was a hole in the top of the cage which I'm sure a badger couldn't have got through or even up to.

We can’t eat pork at all. Or shellfish. Or mix milk and meat in one dish or even have milk after eating meat.
Animals have to have a split hoof and chew the cud, birds can’t be carrion birds and for some reason lost on me we can’t eat penguins (the birds). As for penguin biscuits we can’t have those either because they contain animal derived gelatine and that’s not going to be from kosher beef.

I’m not religious and don’t keep a kosher home but somethings just wouldn’t feel right to eat so I’ve never had prawns, anything porky (so no bacon or ham) and I avoid sausages unless I know what the casing is (because most are pig intestine).

Do love a cheeseburger though!

My son in law is Muslim and although you can get beef or lamb sausages the casing is from pigs unless you get them from a Halal butcher.
Costco hotdogs are all beef so the kids are allowed those.

Bought myself a FastClix lancet and the cartridge won’t go in far enough to get the cap back on!

Dunno if I’ve made a mistake somewhere but this is the only way the cartridge fits and it just won’t go further.

Like your s-i-l just having beef casings isn’t enough. He needs halal, which at least gives him the option of eating kosher, but halal isn’t strict enough to satisfy kosher requirements.
There are a lot of supermarket sausages which now use artificial casings but as I said I generally stay away from sausages. And I don’t even keep kosher!

twist the drum round in there until it can be pushed in, it will only insert fully at the correct position, it can be annoying but it will go down when you get it exact, let me know how you get on xx

You need to twist it a quarter turn.

The cartridge? Makes no difference.

 

[Kaylz]

The cartridge? Makes no difference.

As I said keep twisting it until it goes down, it will when it is exactly matched xx

I’ve tried the cartridge in every possible position.

In the other positions it’s even more proud of the collar.
