Group 7-day waking average?

Morning and a Heinz Special well a 5.7 if you add the decimal space.Wind dropped and so pleasant this morning walking the dogs.
Yesterday was a quiet day WFH but relaxing and off to Llandudno today so lunch out again.
Continuing to be quite assertive with the insulin so getting low numbers but had some toast this morning already after a chatty mind night but lucky in that I get back to sleep quickly so wake up refreshed.
Anyway have a great day all
 
5.4

Interesting day yesterday. Gym was good. Therapy basically boiled down to her telling me that I over think things and really need to train myself to just “enjoy” myself. (I’m being glib here but she makes a valid point.) And volunteering in the evening at a QB event was easy and nicely chilled.

Today will be spent mainly waiting patiently for the extra bookings to open up on the Covent Garden website so I can book the tickets for the rehearsal I missed last time around.
 
Morning all. 4.4. Slept all night but woke feeling tired. Maybe because mentally i have a lot going on in my mind. Today i'm picking mum up this morning and taking her to a garden centre. She doesn't want anything as she can't work in a garden any more, she just wants to have a look round and a coffee.
 
Good morning woke to a surprising HS
looking at that graph on Libra app it definitely wasn’t a flatline overnight

that will be because, I did some business with a chip shop yesterday evening, he insisted on me taking away something on the house, I asked for a small sausage & chips (the portion of chips were anything but small)

must dash a busy morning at work today
Have a Terrific Tuesday 😎

Good morning all. A nice round 6.

Got my jabs yesterday. Shingles in the left arm and pneumonia in the right arm. No problems with shingles jab but my right arm was aching like mad within the hour. It got to the stage where I could barely move it and couldn’t stand the pain.Had paracetamol and ibuprofen and it eased off. Feels a bit stiff this morning but nothing like yesterday. I struggled hanging and then bringing in my washing! Never had that before with any jab. I didn’t realise the shingles is a two jab job, back in six months. Then that’s it for life. Went to posh Aldi whilst I was at that end of town, for some bits and bobs, I treat myself, to not one, but TWO aubergines, no begging letters please I haven’t won the lottery! 😛 I picked three courgettes from the garden along with two red onions, and made a huge pan of ratatouille. Some for last night’s tea to go with roasted chicken legs, and five tubs for the freezer. That makes me happy.

Today it’s wet and miserable so a pottering about the house day.

Have a good day y’all!

Forgot yesterday to show you the clock I bought Mr Eggy for his birthday. I told him I’d given him the gift of time. It’s ok for £35, don’t know how long it’ll last. He got his real present yesterday, I “allowed” him to buy a new PC, AppleMac no less! He’s spoiled that fella. 😉The girls did contribute to the cost TBF.

Morning

4.9 today, grey and overcast, rained overnight, but temperature is still very pleasant. Will be goi g to see my mum later, the doing some indoor exercise from my Bodycoach app this evening which I have been neglecting to do for a few weeks.

@goodybags - congratulations on your HS today. Hope you are enjoying your new job.
 
A 4.6 for me this morning. 🙂 Rain & drizzle on the way. 🙄

Morning everyone. And I’m joining Mee Too with another 4.6 today….

Have a good day everyone and stay well.
 
6.0 this morning and it's a cool, grey and sunless one here in Berkshire too. Covers on the garden furniture are wet so it clearly rained overnight, and as it stands they're unlikely to be coming off today.

Looking forward to a day at home watching the tennis (Eastbourne), which is dominated by Brits today. Never seen so many Union flags on the schedule. Should be a cracking final day in the cricket too, weather permitting. Only downside is that we have 3 WFH again, which is unusual for a Tuesday. Oh well...........

Congrats on today's HS @goodybags

@eggyg that looks like what I call a proper clock. My gran had one just like it. Does it chime and have to be wound with a key, like hers did?

Whatever your plans, have a good day everyone..

I was told there are 2 differnt vaccines one is a single dose and the other is 2 dose. Both me and my other half had the 2 dose one.
Pain in injection site is a common. I had discomfort in my arm last year but I had 3 injections over a fortnight.

It doesn’t chime unfortunately, that would have been amazing. It doesn’t need a key but has a winder thingy in the back. It looks the business doesn’t it? I love it.
 
10:12 BS 8.0 Ok, I suppose after a near hypo crept up on just as I was doing a last scan before bed & after dinner hours ago 23:18 BS 4.4 & had salted caramel fudge.

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

Finished off Shogun yesterday & I’m a bit disappointed by the anticlimactic, quiet ending episode 10 compared to the WOW! of a penultimate episode 9! I found it slow going as, for authenticity, most of it is in Japanese which meant a LOT of ver fast reading subtitles: Japanese is very compact; English is very “wordy”, if that is a word! I had to get back into the swing of hearing Japanese again & needed to rewind a LOT just so I could finish reading the subtitles! Got faster at it yesterday! Thankfully the podcast accompanying each episode is in English. o_O

I first came across James Clavell’s series of books about The Far East in the 80’s when the books about Hong Kong “Tai Pan” & “Noble House” were shown on the BBC of American productions with an early role for former James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan in “Noble House”. Which lead me to the books. <3 And the books set in Japan “Shogun” & “Gai Jin”.

I remember watching the BBC’s own production of Shogun in 1980 starring Richard Chamberlain &, of course, read the book too but, in a odd case of only remembering I read & watched it & how brilliant they both were, I couldn’t remember anything else: it was like that for me when I read “Far From The Madding Crowd” also, in the 80’s; it took watching it again 30/40 years later, the Carey Mulligan film, to remind me of the plot! ONCE I started re reading the book, not everything was in the film, the memories came back of how funny it was & things slotted into place of “Ah! So that’s were I remembered that from!” :confused:

I suppose my teens in the 80’s was my formative reading years & I read an AWFUL LOT REALLY FAST: learnt a LOT of vocabulary too that ACTUALLY physically looking up words in the dictionary makes the definitions stick in my head; always read books back then with a dictionary to hand! Kindle has really changed that & you just have to keep pressing a word to look it up instantly in the dictionary! 🙄

There are quite a few, when I think about it, books that I know I read in the 80’s but, other than remembering they’re great books, I don’t remember the plots! Maybe Sherlock Holmes is right & you only have so many memory files & unimportant or unused memories get overwritten! o_O The BBC production of the bang up to date 21st century “Sherlock” where Dr. Watson is shocked that Sherlock doesn’t know that The Earth goes around The Sun: unimportant info to Sherlock that he overwrote; according to Watson with the many types of cigar and cigarette ash! :rofl:

I have the James Clavell books on kindle for quite some time now & did re read the HK books a few years ago. I may go back & re read Shogun at some point later this year: the memories are there; it’s just hasn’t been used in YEARS! :confused:
 
9.2 earlier on, before I fell asleep and nearly lost out this mornings trip. We got out to the Archers and had a lovely breakfast together, just me and D. Next time we'll invite Ste and my BiL when we choose another venue to do the same. Very windy today but, equally, quite warm too threatened rain all the way, there and back. It was nice to be so close the the lapping sea high tide - It must be a total wash out with a Spring tide - there was quite a bit of spray abouts as it was!

Returned a little after 12pm where I had my late Metformin.

My OH went out half an hour after I got back and did some business to town before getting a Gregg's and sitting town in the throughfare, quietly waiting for some prey.

Congratulations to @goodybags on todays' HS!
