You not at all tempted to go in character as the jilted mistress or the previously unknown illegitimate daughter?! Or the ghost of the first wife who died in mysterious circumstances…

I hadn't thought of that, but I am definitely up for it for next year!!

One member of staff did tell me she was considering wearing her actual wedding dress as she felt she didn't own anything else suitable :rofl:
 
Oh dear! It seems that I can’t get my basal down fast enough as I wake up 10:00 BS 4.2 & just going to loo & back up a wee bit 10:11 BS 4.4 but, spent about half an hour in the red just before waking. So, I taking tresiba at 16/17:00 today & -4, 52 later as it was about 15:45 ish when it went in yesterday?

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

Just avoided a marshmallow in bed but, better have breakfast first!

BP low (95/61 with 54 pulse) so I’ll email over this week’s readings to the GP in a bit and likely send them into a mild panic.

If you check that reading on the NHS website it says it's healthy, though.
 
Spoke too soon as I scanned before getting up out of bed 10:22 BS 3.9 so, still in bed & a compromise of half a giant marshmallow, about 10g & wait a bit before I get up for cornflakes, I fancy!

Yuck! Horrible eating sickly sweet marshmallows in bed twice in a row , yesterday & today! A Green Puking emoji!

5.0 this morning.

BP low (95/61 with 54 pulse) so I’ll email over this week’s readings to the GP in a bit and likely send them into a mild panic.

Was at the opera yesterday. Die Walküre. Royal Opera House. Started at 16:30 and finished at 22:15 - excessively long interval whereas they could have started at 18:00 and had two 45 minute intervals and still finished roughly the same time.

My first Walküre. It’s the second part of the Kosky ring cycle so uses the same aesthetic as Rhinegold did, largely empty stage, modern/timeless dress, elderly naked woman on stage almost the entire time, that kind of thing.

I didn’t know the story or the music (other than that bit everyone knows) beforehand so it was a revelation. It’s basically about a stropy god, his wife, his mistress and the kids he fathered (twins who form an incestuous relationship and the titular Walküre(s) who are pretty much all petrified of their god dad) being used as a plot to wrest back control of a magic ring (which happens in the next part I think).

As plots go it veers from utterly insane to really quite tender and domestic but it gets there via huge amounts of misogyny, domestic violence, racism, hints at a fondness for eugenics, and some rather good music.

I enjoyed it but felt that act 1 had some quite uneven acting (I forget the characters name but the brutish husband of the twin daughter was not the best actor) which defaulted to pointing and slapping the furniture to show us he was a brute rather than employing a quiet menace. Also he was armed with a gun which seemed incongruous when the whole thing is about a magic sword and a dragon.

One pet hate of mine also reared its head in act 2. If you’re going to drive a car on to the stage (in this case a rather beautiful 1930’s Rolls) then don’t reverse it off to exit, drive it off. Especially when the stage is certainly big enough to do that and it’s not got any other scenery on it at the time. It reinforces that it’s a prop and breaks the theatrical illusion in one fell swoop.

I did enjoy it overall. Singing was great. Music was great. I even liked the staging. But for a couple of very minor niggles it was a belter!

I’m very envious! Spent some time yesterday afternoon re-listening to von Karajan’s Das Rhinegold. I think the Barenboim is better, but the music is just amazing.

9.9 earlier shooting 11.7 FOTF, looks like a high lunch today which is fairly normal these days.

A gorgeous day, be it a little chillier in a northerly breeze, but still looking very bright with blue skies with white Simpson clouds.

We should be seeing my MiL today as the cooking is being done, my OH has a pan of boiling potatoes in readiness of a Cottage Pie for later, I'd like to join her depending on my BG later; otherwise it'll be a green smoothie! Should be good to see her though.

Hope you have a splendid start of your holiday tomorrow @eggyg
 
Hi everyone! 7'3 this morning.

I've missed too many posts to catch up, so hope everyone is doing alright.

I've had some issues related to diabetes management, but not with my BG itself. More with the "tools". First it was Libre: my reader died during the Easter weekend and I was without for almost a week. Then the replacement reader got accidentally wet and was glitchy for a couple of days. After that I've had issues to access the NHS app to order my repeat prescriptions. All seems to be sorted now, fingers crossed.

Exciting days ahead with Brixham Pirate Festival tomorrow and short trip to Bath next week!
 
4.3 this morning.

Sort of relaxing whilst away in Northern Ireland, but still got worries about Mum in particular, Dad seems to be ok and welcoming the care and support he is now getting in the care home. Mum however is struggling with all the new changes and is now convinced that nobody told her she was going to the home permanently (we did, we discussed it all as a family together). I think it’s her dementia and she is also saying she will leave and walk to her sister to live with her. I don’t think she will, but it just makes me worry so much.

Anyway, had a good blow of fresh sea air yesterday which helped. Visited Ballycastle on the Antrim coast, just beautiful!

Morning yawning, 4.9 at 3.45am. I’d set my alarm for 4.30 but woke at 3.20, went to the loo, bashed my pillows about, but to no avail. So here I am.

Weather looking good for the ferry crossing so I’m happy. Looking forward to the drive up as it’s so beautiful, once you get off the motorway at Glasgow, that is !

I’ll be in Bonny Scotland when I next post, eeek! Have a super Saturday.
 
Good morning. 5.7
In caravan!!! Chased John a bit and got it all set up. Havent worked out how to turn on heating so breakfast under the duvet. Everything else AOK and so handy. Despite yesterdays efforts pain levels quite tolerable. Looking forward to shower once I have found the dustbin bags for my right leg!
Hope everyone has a great Bank Holiday - needless to say the boys have decided not to work Mondsy after all. Must be paying them too
much...

Hello all. 7.3 for me on waking to a sunny morning after a nice flat, uneventful night.

Good morning everyone

BG 4.8

Sainsburys delivery due around 9am but just got an email telling me that the item I ordered for a friends meal for Monday is not available. Not sure what to cook on Monday now.

Just discovered on the internet that I've been taking one of my meds at the wrong time of day for years! I always take it early in the morning but looking on the internet this morning I discovered that I should be talking it in the evening. Whoops.

Nothing much planned for today

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Morning 6.9 today

walking football & wellness exercise program to attend later this morning
I’m getting a lot out of both sides of this program, so glad it looks like it’s running permanently although it’s still poorly attended not a problem with me (as long as it continues)

off to watch football this afternoon last game of the season, a weekend of sorting out things in both home & garage for both my wife and me this weekend, new bed was delivered a few days ago and we got the required mattress (in IKEA) yesterday,,new chose to get it from IKEA as apparently you get a full 365 days if you change your mind on a mattress when bought from IKEA which we thought was a benefit.

have a fabulous bank holiday weekend especially anyone who’s gone away

TC 😎
