Well I’m reporting very late. Midday kick off at Ewood.
Woke on 9.1, the excuse being I went to bed early after Lasagne and a tomato salad, and missed the late upturn as it sludged through my system. No great shakes.
Anyway dined out for lunch at Ewood. Not in the members restaurant, but al fresco cheeseburger with onions and a black coffee.🙂
Blackburn had a hard earned 2-1 victory against a very good Leeds side - it’s the first time Leeds have lost, away from home. Their fans looked a bit bemused rather than irate. Rovers are now 5th in the table, not bad for a promoted side. I hope they don’t get accidentally promoted.
Another 9, today. 9.2. Oh well, it was another middle night rise.
I think my body slows down after a day of exertions, even if that was just going to the footie, after which I shot down into the village on the scooter to get some Eumovate. Both were fun, though.🙂
Anyway, off out for Sunday Lunch later with family. Guess who will be paying🙄
Happy Sunday. An unusually high 8.4 for me! Had steak pie and chips late last night, homemade pie, just a top. Went to bed on an 8.2 just two hours later, obviously hadn’t hit me so no correction. Ah well today’s another day, but it’s a party day! Granddaughter number 2 is 6 tomorrow and having a Spanish themed party as we are going to Spain on Tuesday. So got my castanets out and sombrero just need to find a straw donkey now!
Morning all. 4.7 today, before heading off on a road trip helping little start-ups raise some $$$. A robotic microscope/particle analyser, a wearable gas detector & safety monitor, chemical-saving mechanical ag weeding technology. All good fun but it's going to be a bit of work to eat well.
Good morning everyone. 6.7 today 🙂 Off to Moorfields in London later today for the follow up to the major eye bleed that I had in the summer, I'm so glad that Mark will be with me.

Off at 9am to see nurse re diabetes. First day due back at work after holiday, and worried as have been shattered over holiday and BG high. Need some answers and actions. They keep saying pancreas perhaps not producing insulin but not sure why they are not doing blood test for that, or am I thinking wrongly.going to ask about c-peptide test
I hope your appointment goes well Amanda and things are settling down and I hope you get some useful help Carolg so that you can start to feel less shattered. 🙂
Morning all, beautiful cool and sunny day. All the sevens for me today, 7.7. Could have been the Blue Riband I ate at 2.30am! 😳 Had a sleepless night, things to do, ( packing) people to see ( osteopath) mind whirring. Roll on bedtime...oh just remembered no bedtime tonight, up at 2am to catch flight. Ah well, sure it’ll be worth it when we land, temperatures in the mid 20s forecast. Have told kids they aren’t allowed to take their iPads so I am not taking mine, so this is adios ( but not goodbye) for a week. Have a great week everyone, @AJLang hope all goes well at eye hospital, @Carolg hope all goes well at diabetes nurse appointment, don’t hold your breath for a c peptide test, they have always refused me giving various excuses, but stand your ground on a better treatment ie insulin. 😎
