5.6 on another bright, sunny but rather cool morning. No rain forecast today so might get the rest of yesterday's laundry dry on the line. Had to use the tumble dryer yesterday after twice putting stuff out and then having to bring it back indoors because of showers.
Quiet day in store - hygienist appointment and a trip to Sainsbury's being the only highlights.
Congrats @ColinUK & @Barrowman on this morning's HSs
Have a good Wednesday.

Morning all - lots of grey but also lots of blue. Forecast is wall to wall sunshine.... ha ha. Not happening. Or not yet anyway.
A shocking 12.7 this morning. Yesterday an hour after correcting the 10.1 FBG I decided to have a single piece of toast. Libre said 6.6 so I bolussed and ate the toast. Next minute I have a screaming alarm and the Libre says Lo! I didn't feel Lo so I tested bloods and the BG was in the 10s still (see attached pic). Libre stayed Lo, so I replaced it. Went out with friends and had fish and chips. Not the best for BG, but nor was the crab linguine that also attracted me on the menu. When we finally got home about 6.30 we sat in the garden for a while until the sun went off the patio and then had a bacon sandwich each. I only ate half of mine. Even so, appropriate insulin was used and I'm banjaxed at this morning's result. Couldn't be the steroid eye drops? Nah surely not! Have corrected in the faint hope it'll come down!
Ho hum... all sorts of little jobs to do today and meeting the usual gang of friends at 5pm in the local (garden if it's sunny).
Congratulations to @ColinUK , @harbottle and @Barrowman on your HSs.
Have read everyone's posts (I always do) it's lovely to know what you are all up to every day. Anyway, enjoy your day everyone.

Morning all. 7.1 and very tired after an overnight hypo and a 1am call from mum to hubby. Mum had fallen over and could hubby and i go and help, she was stuck. She has a pendant and had not/would not press it for some reason though she has before. So off we went, put her in bed and went home. Then i couldn't go back to sleep. I know i saw 3am, legs were restless as well. I hope today goes quickly so i can get home for a nap. Hubby is exhausted with the hours he's having to do as well.

Good morning 🙂 7.7 for me today 🙂 Feels like I've generated an exotic and thriving new ecosystem in my hair - not allowed to wash it until 4 days after the cataract operation 😱 Probably some new species that even David Attenborough would not recognise 😱 
Morning an 8.2 for me so high but again a nice line overnight.
Lovely day yesterday and a nice pub lunch but was a little high in carbs and on my way back passed through the tiny village of Knockin.
Now I had always wanted to pass though there to check out something which I wanted to know and was not disappointed.
The village shop which as the Irish would call it a Needle and an Anchor store ( sells everything) was called “The Knockin Shop”.
Another very nice day in Llangollen today so an ice cream beckons and a little walk by the river.
Enjoy whatever you are up to.

Good morning everyone
BG 4.7
BP 118/77 and no meds (no stress either!)
Did I mention that I cut my own hair. Usually it goes well. Easy, quick, no cost. Unfortunately, on this occasion, I forgot the guard and by the time I realised it was too late, had to carry on. I now have a zero hair cut. Ah well. It's much colder with almost no hair too . I just laughed about it. My wife's less pleased!
Today, already put the bins out and weeded our small garden. Later some keyboard practice.
My wife seems a lot better too.
Have a great day today whatever you are doing

Good morning again! Nearly a Heinz (5.7 is becoming my GoTo Number) on second awakening an hour ago with a 5.6.
Physio this morning so disturbed night not ideal!
First day without anti-biotics this year after discussion at Foot Clinic yesterday (separate report to follow later)

Good morning folks. After a much lower carb day than previous days I’ve been “ rewarded” with a 6.9! Huh! Don’t know why I bother.😉
Stones for garden arrived at 4.30, all hands on deck to get them wheelbarrowed through before neighbour arrived home and needed to park her car in the archway! A ton of stones =bad back and a broken nail! I did the raking and then went to make the tea. Luckily, my back is ok today but my nails may never recover, and I wore gardening gloves. 😛 But Greenhouse Phase 2a is complete, Phase 2b will probably be as and when the finances allow, or we win the lottery! The plan is a covered ( ie slate roofed) shelter/pavilion/bus shelter type building thingy. We keep changing the plans when we watch gardening programmes. Make your Garden Perfect with Angela Scanlon has a lot to answer too! The stones were just to tidy the area it looks good and my new bay tree has pride of place.
Babysitting today for a couple of hours whilst Zara has her swimming lesson then all back to ours for lunch. So, a hectic day!
@freesia my 87 year old MIL has the pendant around her neck too, even if your mum had pressed it the care line company would have rang you to deal with her. If no one had responded ie you,within a certain time, only then would they send an ambulance. MIL pressed hers about a dozen times non stop last week although she denies it, and hubby was called, flew round and she was fine, luckily it wasn’t the middle of the night but it has been before, she said she didn’t feel well, which is her stock answer when you ask her how she is anyways. It’s a worry isn’t it? Hope you all get a good night’s sleep tonight.
Have a good day.
Mr Eggy put our bistro set on the stones last night and shouted me to come and sit at it. It was blooming perishing, but I had to pretend it was “summer”!
