Group 7-day waking average?

[eggyg]

Morning all. Looks like everyone having a lie in. A nice 5.7 for me today.

Had a nice day just pootling about the house, a bit of soup making, a bit of washing, I picked the last five green peppers I’d grown under a cloche, sliced them and froze them. Mr Eggy harvested his grapes, and began the making of his Chateau Neuf De c**p This will be his fourth go at making wine. He has high hopes this year as he declared the grapes were sweeter than they have been. Hmmm…..I’m certain once again come April I’ll be cleaning the outside drains with it. Ah well, it keeps him out of mischief!

No plans today, weather not looking as nice as yesterday but it’s dry and that’s the main thing. 🙂
Have the best day you can. @Gwynn hope the day improves for you.

Not got out of bed yet so not taken morning readings.
Been awake pretty much since 1:30am just going over things in my mind knowing that I’ve got the rescheduled VRI from last week later today.
It’s all part of the healing process by right now I can recall really rather minute details about this incident. I can smell the flowers which were in the vase on the windowsill and I can pinpoint the moment when I disassociated with what was going on so that my brain could try and figure out how to escape and survive.
Memory is really a rather extraordinary thing.

Probably won’t bother taking BG or BP this morning because I know they’ll both be sky high as a stress response.

No Park Run for me today. Nursing a slight injury from last week (knees) so need a week off. I also need to stretch, do core exercises, get better running shoes and listen to my body whilst accepting that I’m really not going to able to keep up with the sub 17 minute 5km runners without damaging myself!

I was fantasy house shopping yesterday and stumbled upon a vineyard and house in need of renovation.
The vineyard itself is AOC approved and it comes with wine cave, main house, vine keepers cottage and about 200 hectares of vineyard.
I’ll send you the details and you can buy it for him for Christmas!

Ha ha! Funnily enough yesterday evening he gave me a big hug and whispered in my shell like “ what does it feel like to be married to a vintner?” He picked 10 kilos of grapes and we’ll be unlucky enough to get half a dozen bottles! I’m going to bake a cake today and ask him what it feels like to be married to a master baker! I suppose there’s no harm in thinking big. Will I need to win the lottery for this vineyard purchase, or can I just sell the Jag?😉

7.6 today. No idea why so high, didn't eat much last night for dinner, the lovely Jane made a prawn cocktail, finished with some rice pudding. Sunny skies after a heavy rainfall overnight waking us up, 12deg now heading for 17deg later, light breeze here in Poole.

 

[ColinUK]

@eggyg actually it was really rather inexpensive.
With the low price, use of the phrases “in need of total renovation” and “indicates the former grandeur that the estate could be returned to” and only 5 pictures to cover the whole thing it might be a bit of a doer upper though.

@Gwynn I certainly appreciate the comfort that this forum and those who use it have given me. I’m sure you and others agree that the usefulness of this space goes way beyond the boundaries of just our diabetes.
Don’t forget that we’re here for you always Gwynn.

I agree with you Colin, diabetes is one thing, at times just coping with life is another. I also greatly appreciate the support and ‘listening ear’ that this forum provides, just being able to write down our frustrations is cathartic so a big thank you to all from me too.

Morning all, 5.9 here. Action stations at Robin Towers this morning, son and daughter and cat arrived yesterday to stay for the local beer festival (the cat isn’t going to the festival). Meanwhile OH and I are attempting a few days in North Devon, (our second attempt, we were cancelled last November with the arrival of a lockdown). So we have to tiptoe out without disturbing any hangovers, and I just have to make sure I haven’t packed the cat.

 

[SueEK]

6.8 today. Going to try and choose some worktops for our caravan and then do Sainsbury’s and then get told off that I’m doing too much, thing is if I don’t do it it won’t get done - can’t win.
@Robin hope you really enjoy your few days break xx
Have a good day all xx

That cat is so going to judge you all coming home after sampling the wares!

Thanks Colinuk. You know you are the only people I can talk to.

I knew something was 'off' from the moment my wife got up. It took most of the day fot it to materialise in some horrible stuff from her but most of the day she was just cold and odd. But once she started it was like some raging monster let go.

Unbelievably I learned from her that the psychiatric consultant has just discharged her too.

Sadly I ate nothing and lost a lot of weight too with the stress and upset.

I hold little hope for today. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

Anyway BG 4.5 still quite low but ok

Up first again I see. There should be a prize like a gold star for first up. 🙂

Hope Today is better.
@Gwynn Your wish is our command!!

6.3 this morning after a really bad day of eating, although lost 1lb so only another lb to go and I will have lost the 7lb I put on, on holiday. Had bad news yesterday as a friend lost her fight with lung cancer, another friend has her mastectomy today.

I have a date for my biopsy of 27th October, which is the first anniversary of my dad's death at the hospital I will be at, so not brilliant timing especially as I was taking my mum to the crem and then out for lunch, my son has now cancelled his trip to Alton towers so he can take her, but what was already going to be a difficult day is going to be much harder.

I have a busy day today, first counselling session this morning, granddaughters coming after lunch, an ultrasound scan and then dinner at Miller & Carter with the girls.

@Gwynn - sending you hugs, you are amazing, I struggle with my sister in law who has similar issues with her mental health and I only see with her once a week,

@Robin - enjoy your break

@ColinUK - hugs to you, I have forgotten about arranging to meet for coffee, but at the moment we both have a lot going on, but we will do it.

Apologies if I have forgotten anyone this morning, as others have said this forum helps with not only diabetes, but being able to talk about other stuff good or bad that we are going through.

Have a good day and love to you all.

Hello everyone 😉 Am back after a week away

6.7 this morning after a 15 something last night. Tbh as nice as it was, this week away caused absolute chaos in the BG department so hoping that once I’m settled in home again, normal service will continue 🙂

Wishing everyone a pleasant Saturday 😎

 

[DuncanLord]

Good Morning All. ( or should I say mid morning as it’s now after 9:00 and heading towards lunch. Ish)
Following last nights success with BG and swimming. See post with meter readings Etc. This morning’s late start produced a 6.6.
I have a Type 1 and Tech Conference online this morning. Can’t remember where I saw it advertised but think I might be well out of my depth, but let’s see.
have a great day and take care.

I’m guessing a new roof and perhaps four walls may be in order? 😛

The entire winery systems need overhaul as well I understand from the local agent I happened to fire an email off to in a moment of mischievous enquiry.

Sounds like we can keep the Jag and only need to sell Mr Eggy’s mountain bike!
Of course it depends on its whereabouts, I’m assuming down south, as opposed to oop north where you can buy a 20 bedded mansion for the price of a London studio flat!

Fantasy house purchases from yesterday.

This one looks charming https://search.savills.com/property-detail/gbskisski200259

This looks good and really isn’t expensive for what it is
https://search.savills.com/property-detail/gblaixlai150527

Here’s the in need of renovation winery…
https://search.savills.com/property-detail/gbskisski200112


I’ve settled on this one though.
Only the 9 bedrooms so might be a bit of a squeeze nevertheless.
https://search.savills.com/property-detail/gbcanecan200121

And BG 6.6 just now. BP 138/82 which is bonkers high but really only stress related with the VRI today.

Enjoy your trip to North Devon at last. This time last year we’d just arrived back home. Must admit prefer the north of the county to the south. Better beaches on the whole. Are you planning some SWCP walking?

“Only” €1.6 million. Bargain!
We could go halfs on the Cannes Chateau. 4.5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms each. We might just manage. I’ve been to Cannes, wasn’t keen though, is there anything in St Tropez? Much preferred it. 😉 I’m off to have a ratch down the side of the sofas to see if I can come up with the €60 million needed!😛
