Group 7-day waking average?

5.9 this morning. Went down to Morrisons to pick up a newspaper and some other stuff and found I didn't have my wallet with me, so quick dash home and back again. Luckily I'd driven down, as it looked like it might rain, so only 5 or 6 minutes there and back.

Wife and I decided to wander up to our local Chef & Brewer yesterday evening as our boys were both out and we couldn't be bothered to cook. Had my usual Smothered Chicken (aka Hunters Chicken) and it was excellent. The pub was having a bit of a mare, though. Table next to ours ordered a round of drinks and they never turned up, so they got them on the house with an apology. Then the waitress noticed that we were still waiting for our meals, so we got an apology too and two main courses on the house. We only paid for our drinks and desserts.

Nothing special planned for the day but we have an electrician coming after lunch to replace the extractor fan in our bathroom, as it's given up the ghost.

Have a good day.
 
Morning All - 7.3 for me this morning. Off to college in a minute to get wet no doubt but we're at Askham Hall all day so should be fun as lots of different things to do there and we might be in a poly tunnel for a while. Home Alone Day 6 today but the dogs are good company. Have a good one everyone. @eggyg where are you going on your mini break?

We’re going all the way to Brighton! Our girls booked us tickets for The Gipsy Kings and a two night stay for our Christmas present. We’ve tagged on an extra two nights as we’ve never ever been to this area and as well as having a good old mooch around Brighton, which I’m looking forward to immensely, we hope to get to Knepp Park and/or the South Downs if we’ve time. We won’t get there until late Monday so nothing much will get done that day. Concert on Wednesday, drive home Good Friday, which I’m not looking forward to. Will have to set off quite early to try and avoid the Easter traffic!

Brighton Pavilion is amazing, well worth a visit.

Thanks, yes, levels behaved themselves yesterday. Very strange. As I get older and get further into this diabetes game ( 14 years this year), it just gets more and more contrary!

Morning all

A nice round 5.0 for me on this very pleasant nice sunny morning...
.
 
Morning all - was grey and dull but the sun is trying to break through now.

I didn't get round to tweaking basals yesterday due to serious pension issues we had to deal with.... so at bedtime I put on a -25% temp basal for 9 hours and look what I got this morning 5.2. Thrilled!

Rang GP yesterday and she has prescribed some high strength liquid Gaviscon to be taken 4 times a day. IMHO it's more medication to address the side effects of other medication. I am becoming quite frightened by all this. Screenshot_20240320-091954.pngWhen will it end?

Providing I feel OK we are meeting friends in the pub early evening today.

@khskel Snap! Our lawn is exactly the same, a swamp! Even on the odd sunny day it's not enough time to dry it out.

@Eternal422 - if once a day Levemir works then stick with it. I just found twice a day more adaptable. Oh regarding the date line... we used to do a trip that was London - Anchorage 8 hours behind London. Anchorage - Tokyo cross the dateline. Tokyo to Moscow, 3 hours ahead of London. Then we would turn around and go back the same way. Didn't know if you were on your head or your elbow and very confusing for the ladies who were on the pill.

@eggyg what a nice little trip to look forward to - and lovely new blouses to wear too!

Just thinking - we are a much depleted crowd these days - @TinaD, @Lanny @Michael12421 and @Kaylz have all disappeared. Hope they are OK.

Have a good one all

congrats on your HS
 
Really not sure what I had for my BG this morning, nor when “this morning” was! We “lost” Wednesday somewhere in the Pacific. The LibreLink app shows no logbook entries for Wednesday and a big gap until readings show up again on the chart from today, Thursday March 21. Very confusing! But not as bad as @Pattidevans describes with the Alaska - Tokyo - Moscow - London trip!

Now safely in Sydney and already had a little walk around the shops and to nearby Darling Harbour close to our hotel. Forecast is for a dull day tomorrow, so not too much planned, but Saturday sees the return of sunshine and warmth so we’ll sightsee around Sydney Harbour then. Insulin now safely in the room fridge after its overnight trip in a flask with gel pack. So far all seems to be ok with everything.

Congratulations @Pattidevans on your HS!

Take care everyone!
 
Morning all. 6.3.

It’s Thursday so most be Wiltshire Farm Foods delivery for Ma-in-Law, it would be better if it could go direct to her but she “forgets” to put her heating aids in and doesn’t hear the door! She doesn’t live far away and Mr Eggy organises it for his haircut day so drops it off before he goes, I’m driving today as I’m dropping him off, no hair cut for me, and going to eldest daughter’s work to pick up a ton of bird feed, ran out of nuts and fat balls and Mr Woody was flying around looking for food yesterday, I felt really guilty! It was like not having sweeties in when the grandkids come round!

Had a nice late afternoon walk yesterday, the rain went away and it was very mild. We headed to a local pond to see if the frogs were there. We were disappointed that they appeared not to be but stood for a while and we saw that there was! Not many but enough to keep us happy. Quite often there’s dozens and dozens but I think the mating season must be all but over, lots of frog spawn though. See pics below. Loving my new camera.

Have a good day.
