Group 7-day waking average?

It turned out that I got my bolus bang on yesterday for my American breakfast as before lunch 16:51 BS was 5.4! :D

I couldn’t drop off yesterday afternoon but, also, couldn’t stay awake during Strictly so, fell asleep halfway through! I was already zoning out from the first dance & couldn’t pay proper attention to the dances I saw but, kept watching knowing that the tv zombie state that people go into when watching film & tv would help send me off to sleep when I couldn’t earlier: if you’re at all tired watching something will send you off to sleep very quickly; it’s a proven by numerous scientific experiments showing the zoning out/zombie state your mind goes into when watching tv! 🙄

I did drop off but, woke briefly when I heard the theme tune playing at the end of the show so, switched off the iPad! Then, rather annoyingly, couldn’t drop off again so, gave it up just midnight to watch Strictly again from the start! BUT, even MORE annoying, I start zoning out straight away & AGAIN I couldn’t take in any dances I saw but, left the iPad on this time to FINALLY fall asleep to wake with it off, it switched ITSELF off eventually, on my stomach over my duvet! 🙄:D

Now! This is a shocker, folks! 😱 05:39 BS 13.6😱😱😱 Clearly I under bolused for my Chinese takeaway for my dinner! had King prawn in black bean sauce with fried rice, I just felt happy & a bit celebratory still after seeing my nephew, & fancied more naughtiness! I was doubly mistaken in that the above dish is much kinder than a Chinese curry that I would usually love going for & was caught hypo with too much NR the first time I tried it AND the surprisingly decent BS for a TOTAL guess my American breakfast for lunch! I went too conservative! Oops!😳

But, correction & munching breakfast already as I type this. Will give last night’s Strictly a third go now, that I’ve slept properly & fully awake! 🙄:D😉:rofl:

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

Storm has passed so its a walk on the beach followed by church followed by a relaxing afternoon.

I finally bought a small tube of glue to mend the rocket. £2.50 !!!

Soon be breakfast time

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
10.9 I did a correction at un the evening yesterday buy got down to single figues I had a felt jack that I thought I needed eating (it seemed to be alright an hour leter). I had set a timer so I would wakrvup later to check but looks like I didn't wake up to it.
 
Bom dia. 7.1 this early morn. Had a restless night as it was so warm but I only got up early as I heard a mosquito buzzing around me! First I’ve heard this holiday, I was up and out that bedroom faster than Usain Bolt! Shut the bedroom door and left it in with Mr Eggy, don’t worry, they don’t touch him! Just hope it hasn’t already had its fill from me as I react really badly to mossie bites.:(

Not 100% sure what we’re doing today but I believe we may get some cloud cover! Woohoo! We didn’t have our planned beach day yesterday as we decided to cut out the middle man and just stay at home! I struggle to settle on a sunbed, a mixture of not being able to get comfortable and complete boredom! We sat on the balcony watching the world go by, a short walk for some provisions and a swim in the pool. Ehh, by heck it was cold! I made spicy vegetable rice with pan fried salmon for tea and Mr Eggy tidied up whilst I finished my glass of wine. It was actually a really nice relaxing day. We’ll be going walking somewhere today, maybe the new town, there’s some interesting roundabouts. Yeah, really.

Have a super Sunday everyone. 🙂

Proof I went in. It won’t happen again!

Good morning! 3.9 today so allowed myself Rich Tea with morning cuppa. Up early as Japanese GP which was red flagged on lap 1! WTF do they hold GP at wettest time of year and three hours before it gets dark. Should tell Japs hold it earlier or we take it away. It was equally wet when James Hunt won WDC. Drivers should also have started on full wets and race should not have been stopped!

Did Wordle whilst waiting. Just got it in six! :(

Just cancelled restart. They should just get on with it on full wets!
 
Oh MY! I’m SO sorry I missed it live yesterday: Tony Adams stripping to Hot Chocolate You Sexy Thing from The Full Monty with the Samba! 😱😱😱 Craig said it all: OMG; the roof went off once Tony started stripping& the TERRIBLE groans at Craig’s 2! I would have unashamedly giving ALL 3 of my votes to Tony Adams last night as Anton summed it up best: he loved it; “it’s everything that strictly is about & you’re amazing”!😛😎:rofl:😉 It’s almost as good as Ed Balls doing the Salsa to Gangnam Style: WHAT IS IT about Katya Jones’ choreography that’s just INGENIOUS & SO entertaining; Tony gave it all up on the dance floor & the nation LOVED it! Just as the nation loved Ed Balls!😛 Katya even took his hat off; left in just a pair of glittery long boxers! :rofl:😎😛
 
Morning all. 🙂 A much more acceptable 5.3 here, aaaah (that’s a sigh, not a scream).

What a beautiful day yesterday - I even had lunch outside it was that nice.

Flu jab today at Boots. Then a quick scoot around M&S for some high-waisted jeans. Not my fav style, but the only thing that’ll do now cos of the Omnipods. 😉
 
I had two grandchildren at your age! Now that really does make you feel old!
My youngest son-in-law ( now 31) is a great uncle and has been since he was 29! His sister is almost 20 years older than him.
My mum was an aunt when she was born and a great aunt by the time she was 4 I think!
 
Wordle in 5 this morning.

7.8 BG
 
A low 4.1 for me this morning. 🙂

Morning all, 4.9 here. No dawn rise at all. That’s unheard of for me. Did a bit of gardening yesterday, feeling better but still producing quite a black line on an LFT, so decided not to leave the premises.
 
Morning all. 11.5 here. We decided after our day out to stay overnight (we did take a bag just in case). The hotel and meal was lovely but after walking 7 miles i had a hypo after dinner so i treated myself and had a cocktail. Overnight, levels shot to 15!!! Ooppps, at least its a one off.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Good morning - a rotten 7.2 this morning no doubt induced by sleepless night - just couldn't draw breath.
The woodshed is completed, many logs split and stacked.
Had a good go at Taras without much luck - he says (I think) he doesn't know what the family will decide - "Ukraine economy..." (low hand waffle)..."my job Ukraine little little..." " Children school..da da." which sounds as if they back are at home....For the rest his comments remained mainly in his native language. He doesn't appear 100% happy with his government - I expected him to be rather chuffed about the blown up Crimean bridge but he just shook his head and said "politics..politics" altho' he certainly doesn't want the Russians in charge.
Oh well, perhaps the Red Cross will get some sense out of him.
Wishing everyone a good Sunday I'm off to the tip...

Worth every sip I bet.

Daughter and grandchildren coming for breakfast so I bought some Heinz baked beans WOW £1.20 per tin or 2 for £2.00. The last time I bought then 30p I think.
 
Unless they were on offer, 30p was quite a long time ago. The last couple of years I've been pleased when they were on offer for 50p or under per tin. They did have quite a significant jump earlier this year, Tesco and Heinz had a bit of a spat about it - Tesco wanted to buy them at their previous price and keep selling them at the price they had before, Heinz said that they weren't going to sell them to Tesco for less than they were to other stores, costs gone up etc, and stopped supplying Tesco for a couple of weeks until Tesco backed down.

Blimey, I buy them from B&M for £3 for 6. I’ve bought a tin from the Spar here in the Algarve and was mad because they were 85c! Mr Eggy loves his Heinz beans ( I hate beans) and we’ve had a sort of cooked breakfast today. No sausages and weird bacon! But at least he’s had his baked beans. 😛
 
And it was a 4.7 for me on waking at 8.15 this fine sunny morning.
