Good moaning. Woke to a 10.1 - moved about +1.5 as I stirred.
Getting ready for early doors Foot Clinic today (must summarise some time as slight step back last week
)..
Pitch black with no stars - therefore cloudy. Cold.

Morning all, 6.1 here.
I remember when Kew was 10p in a turnstile to get in! @ColinUK . And there had been an outcry some years before when we went Decimal and the price went up from a couple of old pennies.(2d to 2 shillings, equivalent, that was inflation for you!) I lived in Chiswick for 6 months when I was at Law College, and the bus route was extended all the way to Kew on Sundays, and was covered on my bus pass that I had for getting to college, so I used to take my books, have a walk round, then find a patch of grass to sit on and work. The weather must have been better then, too (ah, nostalgia is always sunny).

Good morning eveyone.
BG 5.3
Decimalisation, an excuse to rip everyone off!!! Which is what they did.
Yesterday I got the vocals done for my song. A tough job as, obviously, they have to be right! 🙂
My hip is continuing to improve and I may venture out to the shops today.
Have a great day today whatever you are doing

Morning all. A whopping 12.4 here...it was 7.4 at bedtime. Diabetes is just MEAN sometimes.
Last day of teaching for me today - a few emails to send tomorrow and training Friday morning, but a break from up at 7 and bed at 11 for a few weeks...nice.
Wrap up warm, folks (or travel back in time for some sunshine like @Robin).

I feel completely back to normal this morning and was pleased to see my waking BG had dropped back to more familiar(ish) territory - 6.0 when I tested. Unfortunately my wife seems to have picked up whatever I had and she's going to WFH today rather than going in to the office.
Our eldest arrived safely in Rome yesterday and on time, despite his flight being over an hour late departing Heathrow. He linked up with his (French) boss, who had flown in from Paris and had booked a hire car, so everything went to plan. He flies back tomorrow, not into Heathrow but into Gatwick. That works quite well because we're on the GWR line between Reading & Gatwick and he'll just get on a train.
Skipped my usual swim yesterday as I didn't feel up to it so will go today instead. Other than that Wednesday's a washday and I also need to run out to the greengrocer at our local garden centre to restock the fruit bowl.
Whatever your plans, have a good day.

Morning All - puppies/dogs/birds & red squirrels all fed & watered. Hubby away last night down in London - he was able to hand deliver the advent calendar to my daughter that I'd sent by Royal Mail special delivery last week where they did not attempt to deliver the next day and when they did they turned up before the office opened and didn't bother trying again just returned it to sender so my Postie here delivered it back to me on Friday (he was so apologetic as if he'd been the one down in London who'd messed it up). Very disappointing for something so important and I'd spent £8.35 to get it there and to her office so it could be signed for! Anyway - I received a super-speedy cheque for that amount to compensate me ...
I had the second session of my diabetes Injectable Toolkit course yesterday. I only stayed for the morning due to dogs but it was great. We projected our Libre View results on the wall and the whole group discussed it which was very useful. I was pleased as had got up to 91% TIR for the last 7 days. It made sense of the Daily Patterns screen and a few other bits that I hadn't been sure of. Also we've decided to move me from Novorapid to Fiasp so I don't have to keep putting my supper in the warming drawer because I realise I haven't taken my insulin. On the way home I dropped into @eggyg for the official "Grasmere Gingerbread handover" - think County Lines but tastier.
Today I MUST get out into the garden as there are jobs to do that are time sensitive and I keep putting them off - it's hard with the puppies around but maybe I can time it with a sleep. Choir this afternoon where we will debrief on the fun performance we did on Saturday. Our next one is singing at the Glenridding Carol Service on Sunday 22nd - they don't have their own choir so have asked us to come along which will be lovely.
Have a good day everyone and sorry to waffle. Oh and it was 6.7 this morning x

Good morning 6.9
Dry but grey outside, a few small blue patches.
More packing today. I am taking it gently as carting logs in for the wood-burner has annoyed my back. So I am sticking to small boxes: books and ornaments. Signed the contract yesterday - 37 days to completion, provided exchange takes place. I'm always fearful of the last minute slip up. Need to book van hire, septic tank emptying and a cleaner. Think @ColinUK has a rather better social diary...
Daughter very down yesterday evening, just had chemo, feeling very sick and lonely. Spent an hour cheering her up with tales from the wild west of Wales. Fortunately my most boring neighbour, a pompous ass, has been out photographing the tree which has blocked the road and planted its upper branches on his garage. Apparently he intends to sue his neighbour who owns the tree. Well good luck with that! Another, who was upwind of the trees, is having a nervous breakdown because a tree might have fallen on them - only a) wind direction b) trees not tall enough etc. My response, perhaps less than sympathetic, of "For God's sake, we aren't in Gaza or Hurricane Valley, now, do you need some logs?" met with a stiffening of the mental sinews from her and a glare but earned a chortle from the daughter. "You lit the fire and some candles" she enquired "What else?" "Oh, I read a book or two". "Typical - I'll go and take my anti-nausea stuff before you give me a verbal kick up the bum. Oh and Rowan wants money - he is saving up for something..." So that was a relief - shopping for 8 year olds isn't my forte.
Have a good day all.

Morning
4.7 plans today are making my Christmas pudding, very late I know but sure it will still taste great, wrapping up some Christmas presents, more crotcheting of my Nutcracker to get back on track with the crotchet along, not that it is a competition, just a bit of fun. Still not sleeping very well with the whirring mind, then when I do go to sleep I have vivid uncomfortable dreams, not nightmares but bad dreams, the end up sleeping in late. Oh well I am sure it will get better.

Morning all. 3.5 this morning and had been for a while! Obviously the earlier JBs didn't work.
Busy day today. I've already been to do the weekly shop, off to the hairdressers in a minute for a cut and colour. Then my friend is coming for a cuppa followed by a very quick tea and off to the local theatre to see a small theatre group do a christmassy show.
I bought this while we were away last week. Happy Christmas birds.

5.6 this morning, not bad as we’ve been eating out and then having different things whilst staying at my wife’s aunt’s house.
Went to Donegal town yesterday for a run out stopping at Biddy o’Barnes roadhouse on the way back. Lovely roaring log fire and great food along with a warm Irish welcome. Just had enough signal on one of the phones to put some euros on the Revolut card to pay for it!
Got a wake today and funeral tomorrow (one of my wife’s cousins died the day we arrived), so this has changed our plans a bit.
Have a good day everyone.

Morning all - quite a nice day here in West Cornwall. Blue sky etc with just a bit of low overcast. Not a breath of wind.
Very disappointed with 7.7 and can see no reason for it. Darn HCL should be aiming for 6.1 and no reason not to be there. I shall give it a smack! Even if smacks are verboten these days!
On the spur of the moment yesterday we invited our lovely neighbour in for dinner. No problem there was lots of food. She is great company and apparently enjoyed her meal saying "it's like eating in a restaurant". Tremendous compliment but taken with a pinch of salt! Not so many leftovers so tonight will be a bit of an improvisation and we'll bulk out the meat with some Cornish Hog's Pudding! Also cook a few more green veg.
Have an appointment for bloods at 2:30, mainly kidney function. We'll be meeting our friends in the local about 5:30 for "Wobbly Weds" when we get 20% off drinks as members of the Wobbly club.
Congratulations to @Barrowman on the HS
@ColinUK we went to a wedding in Kew about 8 years ago. The evening meal in the Orangerie was absolutely spectacular with opera singers and towering vases of flowers. ISTR the food was pretty good too!
Have a good day all!
