Morning folks. A bright and sunny start to Monday but showers forecast. 8.2 this morning.
We had a nice time yesterday although the rain meant we stayed indoors. It's a shame as the hosts have a beautiful garden.

Congratulations on your HS @Robin
Welcome to the forum @MarkStAlbans

Hopefully get some more planting done today. The rain has softened the ground. Have a good Monday folks!

Thanks silver and rest of you folks.

Navigating T2 is more of an art than a science!
 
Morning all. 5.1 and a sunny start here.

Congrats on the HS @Robin
 
Good morning. 5.9

I’m not sitting in anyone’s garden having a cuppa as it’s tipping it down this morning. Instead I’m killing time searching statements so I can find the proof of purchase of a pair of washable Skechers sneakers which I’m taking back. I’ve washed them according to the instructions and there’s marks that haven’t come out.

Cultural stuff yesterday with a friend was commenced with a Japanese market at the Southbank Centre. Found myself perusing various original, very small, Hiroshige wood block prints but nothing grabbed me. They were all so washed out. Avoided moochi as it just doesn’t compute. Why wrap food in sticky rice? I just don’t get it.

Then Tate Modern for the Doh Ho So exhibition. We only booked it because we thought we might need something to do after the Japanese market and boy were we pleased we did! It’s fantastic!

Basically he’s explored the concept of Home, what it is, where it is, the memories it holds and the ties it can have between us, people, place and time. He’s done this pretty exclusively by covering where he’s lived in mulberry paper, rubbing it with charcoal and then removing the paper and building 1:1 replicas.

He meticulously recorded the interiors of every he lived over a 20 year period and then installed all the details of all of them in one space. And everything is in the correct position it was in the physical property. It’s really interesting stuff.

I’m back from the canals! Somehow we managed to avoid any issues and I see low water levels and lock closures and restrictions everywhere now.

Starting back in normal routine to join @Robin (congratulations!) with a 5.2🙂 this morning.

We celebrated my parent’s 70th (Platinum) wedding anniversary on Saturday which went well and I think they both enjoyed it, Mum especially as she saw her sister, brother and a couple of sister in laws. They now have a card from the King to go with their 60th anniversary card from the Queen!

Not much planned today other than laundry and putting stuff away from the holiday!

Take care everyone!

Absolutely amazing!
 
Well a very yo-yo day yesterday with blood sugar readings higher than expected. Adjusted my intake of both carbs and insulin to suit. Lovely lunch with Alex and family and I was very careful about what I ate. Delicious moules mariniere with a few chips. Then a walk. Blood sugar still sky high (lots of insulin despite modest meal) and at 9pm after supper it was still 12.4. Bloody hell, what’s going on? Then the bulb flashed in my tiny diabetic brain that I should calibrate my sensor with a finger prick. Result! 12.4 on the sensor was actually 7.4. I’m a complete dimwit for not having sussed this earlier.

The calibration last night more or less matches the 7.2 this morning. Took me a while to adjust with glucose overnight to compensate for the ghost highs all day for which I’d overdosed insulin. Duh.

Have a good day.

Morning everyone. Well for the second time this month it’s a 5.2 for me on this nice sunny morning.

Have a great day everyone and stay well.
 
7.8 at 2.30am, 9.2 at 7.30am, speaks for itself. I had a minimalistic breakfast - a little carb and a load of fats followed by a couple of coffees', I'll just have see what my BG is in a another hour or so.

The weather is overcast and relatively warm, plenty of cloud promising rain on the morrow but sunny intervals predicted for today... just not at present.

My OH swapped her mornings' viewing from back-to-back classic Coronation St. to back-to-back episodes of Last Tango in Halifax - so not quite as annoying, getting easier to ignore. Either that or knocking the volume off.

Planning on on getting out and having a bit of a walk later.

Congratulations on your HSs @Robin & @Eternal422 & @Barrowman hopefully you'll have a good day.

Talking of which, I hope you all have a good & safe day.

.morning all hope you are all well it's raining here. Hope you all have a good safe day. BG. 7.2 THOSE walnuts might have something to do with it.
Have had my money's worth from NHS today. The nurse came to my insulin asked her to look at my right big toe had stubbed it and taken off edge of nail. She dressed it and said I will have to refer you to the EB at the hospital. Also asked her to look at a bit on I will not say where except to say it's uncomfortable to sit on. I have a pressure sore
great just what I need, she's also because of that got to get a new mattress for my hospital bed.
My MH is playing up, yesterday I was feeling very bad, today I don't feel so bad
I'm fine but it's a bitch this illness ah well there are people worse off than me.
You all take care
Love gail
 
6.4 on a bright, sunny and - at least for now - dry Berkshire morning. Cool northerly wind, though. Usual 3 WFH Monday :( but at least I have some things to do that'll keep me out of the house for a while.

Really sad to see this yesterday about what's become of my home town (no need to read it, the photos say it all):-

Locals in once-bustling town say 'Labour does not care about us'

EXCLUSIVE: Llanelli in west Wales, just ten miles from Swansea, was once a bustling market town but a century after its heyday, it couldn't be more different.

Congratulations on today's HSs @Robin & @Eternal422 & @Barrowman

Have a good start to the week.
 
Forgot to post this earlier. 05:00 BS 7.1 🙂

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

Just over 2 hours after eating breakfast & realised I haven’t posted yet. I FINALLY finished off the last of the cornflakes, in the airtight Tupperware for about 1-1.5 years, & I can’t remember the last time I had a portion so, gave it the max of 60NR: seems ok ish at just over the 2 hour peak mark 10:05 BS 14.3 & started on 07;21 BS 9.1. Not quite sure IF I’ve peaked as sometimes it can be 1.5 to 2.5 hours with a few wobbles: I just get erratically wobbly at times; I put it down to menopausal hormones! 🙄 Sometimes I don’t wobble much & other times I wobble a lot! o_O

Awww! Rory couldn’t quite do it &, I googled it as Siri just cannot dictate it correctly, Scottie Scheffler won The Open on -17 BUT, there’s a new Asian, I prefer the term Oriental, player to watch out for in the future, Li Hao Tong, who finished in tied for 4th on -11: was actually in 2nd place in the last pair at the start of the final round! 😛

That’s it! I restrained myself to just THAT bit of golf news! >>😉😉 :rofl:

Hmmm…I guess you had to be there! But what do I know, I’m just a pleb from the north! 😛
 
Ah! It WAS the peak as I’m going down now, 10:32 BS 11.7. It’s the milk & I do like more milk than the average person on my cornflakes that I need a bit more bolus on & it wasn’t too bad a result: balancing NR & portion control, not that I measured the last of it as I literally poured it all in the bowl as there no point in leaving any of it no matter how much was in the bowl; just put that in the libre entry & see what 60NR does? o_O

It’ll be the Weetabix next to finish WHEN I don’t know: not quite as long in the Tupperware; maybe 6 months to a year? 🙄:D
