I have been drug-free (illegal) for 18 years, and kicked the smoking habit (smoke-free for 6 years), but I still have the occasional alcoholic drink as I wasn't addicted when I did drink heavily. Kicking the smoking into touch was the hardest habit I ever got the better of.

Good morning! 6.4 when I woke at 01:00am with the usual PP! Does my missing limb need exorcising - it could then go and score a mystery goal for England tomorrow! 
After weeks in the doldrums now up to 70% IR, can I pull it back tp 80% or even 90%?
No stars so either the "cost of living" crisis means they have been turned off to save money or it is cloudy! Window dry so not raining! (we need more emojis, please)

12.07.2024 22:34 BS 8.2 on Day 3 of 52 Tresiba. Definite signs of normalcy there as a) I stayed pretty flattish while I slept, true I DID NOT need the precautionary little snack just before bed around 15:30 ish that took me up from BS 6.7 to the 8’s but, erred on the side of caution to get some worry free sleep & b) my BS is rising already, as per usual due to DP after waking! 🙂
A Very Good Morning coming up for you NORMAL lovely lot & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
Indeed no biscuits were necessary, had to think for a bit there on the timeline, yesterday morning, both for you normal timeline lot AND me come to think of it as it’s now past midnight as I type this, & I stayed awake for quite a bit before tiredness conked me out around 3pm after Day 3 of 52 basal went in! I was still very, very slowly drifting down so, the precautionary chocolate mint mini roll with no NR before turning it: just about 6 hours after breakfast so, must have just caught the tail end of active NR; then, as basal is more or less there no dropping BS so, I went up a bit & stayed there til I woke up?
Already just had breakfast where my BS rose after waking to 23:37 BS 9.2 & trying normal NR doses today to see how goes: well, normal +2 for higher start for ramen just now & BS is still rising, 02:13 BS 16.6 before it should peak, about now or so, & come back down to target range, or I’ll take where I started at at this early stage, I’m thinking but, will see IF it works out that way? 🙄
NOW, of course my body clock is out of whack but, HEY, first things first, my basal is more or less there; see how it goes today?
It’s been rather heavenly NOT to have an aching knee & a lot less stiffness in my left middle fingers, that hold up my iPad mini & I COULD NOT bear the heavier weight of any other bigger iPad, that has REALLY made an impression on me & I wonder just how long has it been that those body parts HAVE been bugging me: crept in slowly that I got used to it & stop noticing it; only its ABSENCE made me notice & realise how bad it had gotten! 😛 I’m appreciating the little things!

Morning all. 8.1
Went off to the dressing clinic yesterday as didn’t feel right. Seems that I’m allergic to the packing material the nurse there used to pack the wound. Still sore this morning but nowhere near as uncomfortable as it was before they switched out the packing.
Going back early afternoon today to have them check everything again.
In other news I’m tempted to bake avocado “bread” later. It’s basically just mushed avocado mixed with cheese, almond flour, baking soda or powder I forget which and then shaped and baked.

Mikey I have given you a star as you mention “ No Stars” and if some mystery goal is scored tomorrow night by any part of some one’s missing anatomy then I will give you a star every morning lol.
Walked the dogs,had my toast and going to grab another hours sleep and then looking forward to a cracking w/ end.

Morning all, 7.1 here. Long day ahead, flight this afternoon, then arrive at Gatwick and decide how to get home. The strategic bit of the M25 is closed, and if our flight's delayed the A34 is closed overnight, as is a bit of the M40, I think. Best option may be to drive anti-clockwise round the M25.

Good morning. 5.1! Close but no cigar. 🙄
Woke ( was woken) at 6.15 by the jacking and cackling jackdaws. I reckon there was at least four and 20, and I was tempted to put them in a pie! This is probably their third brood this year, these are new babies still being fed by their parents. What a racket they make. I actually managed to sneak some photos of them, they usually fly off as soon as I venture downstairs, only to come back two minutes later to raid the fat ball feeders. I don’t mind really, the young ones are quite comical and very clumsy whilst they’re learning to swing on the feeders. I just wish they’d do it quietly.
No big plans, a ragu to make for tea, and a spot of ironing where I’ll catch up with Sewing Bee.
@Robin safe journey home.
Have a good day.

Morning all. A surprise 5.2 for me.
Today, I’m off to a quirky little town in Ceredigion where I used to live when I was first married - almost 30 years ago, eek! I’m going to meet one of my Zoom students...in person. She’s from India and is studying ancient languages at Oxford. She fell in love with the Welsh language on a trip to Wales last year and signed up for an intensive class (as well as her uni course!). I’m so impressed by her talent for languages, I just had to meet her! And it’ll be interesting to visit some old haunts while I’m there.
Good luck @Robin - I’ll be thinking of you as I try to leave Swansea tomorrow morning. There’s a triathlon and random road closures at random times - it doesn’t help that the race goes past my mum’s front door...<stuck in traffic> emoji.

Well, I overshot a wee bit there & went quite low by the time I started cooking & was BS 4.8 at 06:52 AFTER a big mug of tea, I had a feeling just 1 cup wasn’t going to do it, with loads of milk & honey. Ate first & then, put in NR at about halfway through lunch. It’s a bit inclusive, still, as I may have overdone the NR & didn’t need the +2 and/or just a teeny bit too much basal so, decided to, for safety & less scrambling later, I’ll reduce basal to 50 later: if I need to I always put it back up to 52?
Just tallied up my marshmallows, biscuits & chocolate mint mini rolls tally I went through during this second reduction in insulin needs this Spring/Summer & it comes to:- 5 giant, about 21.25g, of marshmallows, found these at Asda for toasting a la “smores” for the emergency ACTUAL hypos that I changed to instead of the mini marshmallows which I kept dropping while trying to scramble them into my mouth when hypo clumsy; 2 whole packets, 24 in each packet, of Nice biscuits & 4 packs, 5 in each pack, of Cadbury’s chocolate mint mini rolls of which I unnecessary had the last one of yesterday afternoon! 😱 That’s quite SOME tally & I have 1 packet of Nice biscuits left along with 8 Giant marshmallows! Which hopefully will hold out for a while OR I may just get some more mini rolls & biscuits? BUT, the end is in sight & I’m nearly there! 🙂

Good morning 6.7
Painting the back of the house yesterday a small bird flew close enough to my face for me to feel the tip of her wing feathers. A metre further on I discovered one of the soffit vents was missing and somebody had built a nest inside the eaves. As I progressed along the wall she flew in and out several times so I suppose she has eggs or chicks in there. I haven't the heart to evict her so I can only hope she isn't planning another clutch.
More painting today since the painter was a no show. I do wish people would honour their agreements. Got a friend coming over tomorrow who, I hope, will nip up the ladders to the small bits I cannot safely reach.
Hope everyone as a good weekend.

5.8 on another bright & sunny Berkshire morning, though wouldn't you know it, light showers are forecast for later. Wife's off to Bedford shortly, back tomorrow, hopefully having picked up our eldest from Luton Airport en route. Haven't heard from him but he's posted some photos of him and his futsal team mates sight-seeing in Barcelona.
With one son in Spain, and one at work yesterday evening, we decided to eat out. Spoilt for choice as my two favourites - Chicken Caesar and Hunter's Chicken - were on the menu. Hunter's won and, although the restaurant didn't have the mini-dessert option, we shared a Triple Chocolate Brownie with ice cream, so a mini-dessert in all but name.
Nothing special planned for the rest of the day but Ladies' Final at Wimbledon to watch this afternoon. Hope it's a thriller.
@eggyg - I wouldn't mind if those jackdaws came to our garden. All we seem to get is pigeons. All that cooing first thing in the morning drives me nuts.
Well done @Bloden & @MikeyBikey on your HSs.
Enjoy the start to the weekend.
