Group 7-day waking average?

Congratulations on your HS @gail2 and glad to hear that you are feeling chipper today.
Hope thise of you living up north don't suffer any damage or disruption from storm Floris.
Sending virtual hugs to @Gwynn and @TinaD if they are lurking but not posting.
 
Morning everyone. Grey and quite windy here today. Have a few jobs in my garage this morning then lunch and then I think I’ll watch a film this afternoon just for a change.
Almost forgot, it was a 5.0 earlier today. Have a good day everyone and keep safe.

Good morning folks.7 to start the day.
Mega weeding day yesterday. I swear they grow inches as soon as my back is turned.Why can't the nice new plants we bought grow at the same rate?
Need to go shopping for some more vodka. We have 4 large kilner jars of wax cappings and honey. Last year's harvest of honey vodka is almost finished. Might try some spiced rum thus time as well.

How are you doing now @MikeyBikey ? I presume that you will be on antibiotics etc for a while. Sending hugs x

Have a good Monday folks. Not sure if BiL and wife are turning up tomorrow or Thursday as hubby got muddled with days and dates. It will be nice to see them anyway.

Morning SS when first read your post I thought you said “ mega wedding day” but then realised I need my eyes testing so good job I have an eye test this afternoon.
A 6.4 for me and a good sleep but went above 10 a couple of times.
Lovely lunch out and awaiting furniture delivery and have tried to protect plants from wind but we are not in war I g zone so should be OK.
Echo others thoughts about those who have not posted for a while and hope all OK.Plus congrats to those HSs.
Have a good week all
 
4.6 this morning woke up a sore throat and headache at 6.30 couldn't settle back to sleep so feeling tired, but needs must we have to go out, hubby needs some bits and bobs for the kitchen from screw fix, he managed to talk me into buying him a cordless SDS drill as his mains one is so heavy for the work he is doing, got some new wine glasses to collect from Argos and another tip run, its a week today since hubby started his tablets and he has had no side effects at all.
 
Morning all and 7.3 for me, apparently shouldn't have treated that compression low.

It's a bit wild out. May have to walk up to the village to pick my car up after having its breaks fixed. Might need to dig the waterproofs out.

Just heard this morning that a fellow local clarinettist/saxophonist died last week. That's me decided, keep on rocking 'til.the end.

Rehearsal tonight with a stand in guitarist as ours is poorly. He has been in the band previously so should be fine.

Have a good day everyone.
 
5.9 this morning and unusually for a Monday, instead of 3 WFH :( there's only one 🙂 as our eldest is still at his girlfriend's in London and won't be back until tonight.

All calm here on the weather front. Our forecast says light rain and a fresh breeze today. I think them up north are getting a bit more than that. Hopefully no one finds themselves having to mop up afterwards.

Well done @Bloden & @gail2 on your HS's this morning.

Have a good start to the week, all.
 
Morning all - very grey and drizzly.

5.3 this morning with a nice flat line. Excitement today is a visit to the Chiropractor and then Lidl (who have sent me a £5 voucher because not been shopping there recently - principally because been using the app on Julian's phone to shop there). Then if I still have the energy cooking double lemon chicken (or instructing J how to do it). I must remember to take it easy!!!!!!

Congratulations to @gail2 and @Bloden on your HSs. Have a lovely holiday @Bloden.

I recall @Elenka_HM had just fallen in love before she stopped posting, so I assume she's too preoccupied and head in the clouds to be interested in a boring old diabetic forum!

Unfortunately I recall that @TinaD had sold her home to downsize and pay her daughter's mortgage off as the daughter had cancer. In the process @TinaD had broken a leg (and other injuries) and was inconveniently living in a caravan whilst the new home was undergoing considerable building works. I sincerely hope she is OK as I have been seriously concerned.

@Gwynn's wife was a lot happier, so I do hope that has continued and he is living a more contented life, though he did have a painful hip.

Ho hum, must shower and dress, though I have been up since 7:30 and done lots of tidying up and organising my myriad medications into some sort of order!
 
Hello all

A little high at 7.2 this morning.

Painting is happening. Forgot how time consuming and faffy it is! A few more days and should be finished. I'm a bit time restricted as I can only do it when my husband isn't working, as he is the paint holder and brush passer when I am up on the stepladder!

Otherwise all quiet, not much on.
 
11.7 rising 12.9 before brekkas! Monster Munch at 2130.

Very windy this morning, but even more breezier further north.

Is it a Bank Holiday today? I was given to believe it was?..

My Lady's carer was a little late this morning. She was very dishevelled as someone in a four wheeler went through a puddle by the bus stop, soaking her, they were heard laughing too! Unfortunately she couldn't get all of the number plate.

Congratulations @Bloden & @gail2 on todays HSs!

Stay safe and enjoy.
 
Having not been to the allotment for a couple of days due to other commitments we were astounded to find 15 ripe figs which had been no where near ripe before. That is only a fraction of what is on the tree. I had one for breakfast with yoghurt and 1 for lunch with Parma ham, feta cheese and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and a cracker.
I am drying some in my fruit dryer. I can see some fig conserve being made with some as they ripen.
Other pickings, sweet corn, beans, tomatoes, the first squash called baked potato. We stripped the blueberries as they were now all ripe and it yielded 1.7kg for the freezer to add to the first pickings of a similar amount.
The courgettes seem to have given up.
 
Aww! Thank goodness today has been less trying & even though it’s early days yet, the +1 51 units of Tresiba at 11:30 ish, because I was having my lunch & might as well inject both together, has made my afternoon lunch figures just a bit higher on the usual 44NR: yesterday I stuck in more & more NR & BS wobbling around the 12’s & 16’s; today just breakfast NR was larger than usual at 52NR, normally 48, & left me still in 12’s for lunch & usual lunch 44NR left me in the 10’s for dinner just now! See what another 2/3 days of 51 basal does before deciding if it needs to go up more but, I think just that extra +1 is enough? :confused:🙂

Have to disagree with this one. When I'm not well enough to post I'm generally not well enough to pick up let alone read my tablet and type something coherent. Usually it's only for a week or two so don't get concerned if I disappear for a little while. I've had to deliberately drop other people's "should's" as their expectations were becoming detrimental to my own health.

We were expecting a roof leak but have been spared this time.

I am very pleased with myself having discovered today how to reply to multiple messages in one post :D

Ooooh figs, one of my downfalls. My mum's tree produces too many for her and my dad so we've been receiving regular tubs of them this summer. So delicious but terrible for my BG.

10.4 today, and I haven't even had figs waaa. Still, it's lower than yesterday.

sorry if I said something in my comment that was thought of as being demanding
it certainly wasn’t meant to be a expectation or in anyway demanding :thankyou:

as some say these days
Oops… My Bad 🙄
