It's a very achy 8.1 for me today🙂

Fell over last evening and walloped my hip, shoulder and head into a cupboard 😱😡. I am not meant to be a furniture remover, I am not meant to be a furniture remover!

Have a good stable Wednesday all 🙂

Ouch! 😱 I'd suggest buying some cheap pillows and taping them to your furniture so at least you get a soft landing 😱 (Or wear the pillows around yourself, that might work 😉) Hope you're not too bruised! {{{HUGS}}}
 
Good morning folks, late on parade as been typing stuff out this morning

Got a letter from the NHS this morning asking me to join the Scottish Diabetes Register, haven't had a proper read of it yet so will have a read later on and see what its all about

6am was a 4.0 scan and a 5 prick, 55 minutes later was a 4.7 scan, hoping my blood might have moved up by a couple of 0.s but no it was still 5! Never mind lol

@Flower that sounds awful, hope your ok!

@Michael12420 oh no hope you feel better soon, I've got 3 teeth coming out next Monday but I'll be eating what i normally do and my dentist is fine with that

Have a great day folks! :D
xx
 
Good morning squadron🙂

5.6 for me, after going to bed on 6.1. Slight washing line dip in the night, though. As good as it gets, I suppose🙂

Well, the TV engineer came to measure up for the man cave TV, so just waiting for the kit to be fitted. Just had a phone call to say it will all be fitted on Tuesday. The riser recliner engineer is coming some time today to fix my chair, which it turns out is 6 weeks out of warranty. Rats:( Mind you, there’s no guarantee he will be able to fix it at first pass, might need a part. Who knows?

Anyway just to show what an optimist I am, I’ve just started the first book in Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series. It’s 800 pages long, and there are 14 books in the series. I did read the books several years ago. The reason I’m doing that is that Amazon are producing a TV series from the books, presumably hoping to pick up the GoT fantasists. It’s far better than GoT, better roles for women, and from what I remember, very little, if any, bonking. Just big ideas, and lots of magic.😎

Talking of telly, there’s been a bit of discussion in the press about cricket not being available on free-to-air channels. Well, on Sunday C4 showed the Final. Then switched to More4 while they showed the Grand Prix on C4. Not everyone can get More4. They lost a lot of viewers. That’s the problem with free-to-air channels. I watched every ball bowled on Sky, no interruptions. C4 couldn’t even be bothered to put the cricket on the red button. 🙄

Right, I’m off for a shave and a shower having topped up my caffeine and vaped nicotine. I’d topped up the cannabinoid levels just to get out of bed, my left leg was stuck flexed at a right angle, every muscle spastic. Thank goodness for magic hemp.😎

Have a good day everyone, should be a nice day for most of us. Make the most of if you can🙂
 
Good morning 5.8 on a very overcast day but still warm, 24.C at the moment.🙂 Booked myself on the TIFA course with the DSN I just hope I don't snore.:D

@Flower I didn`t know you are a break dancer,😳 hope you are not too battered, please take care. {{{HUGS}}}

@Michael12420 hope you managed to get that figure down and feel better, Gin & Tonic it is.🙂

@mikeyB hope your recliner can be fixed without major costs.🙄

What I would like to know @MeeTooTeeTwo was the nappy full and whose going to change it?:confused:

Suns coming out so I`m orf, take care folks enjoy your day.🙂

Good morning. I was 16 this morning. Following the removal of the one molar yesterday I was advised not to eat anything I had to chew so it was slimy pasta last night and for the next few days. Oh well, you don't have to chew gin and tonic!
Click to expand...
Oo I feel for you, can you maybe have some soup instead, no chewing there!!
 
Thanks everyone. Pain is being held by paracetamol and ibuprofen - after a meal. I am going to have some lukewarm vegetable soup and a ham sandwich made with a very soft bread and hope for the best. Reading at the moment is 15.6 but am at a loss to know how much Novorapid to inject.
 
Good morning 🙂 5.4 for me today, on a fingerprick 🙂 Sensor ended yesterday afternoon and I decided to wait until after this morning's run and shower before putting a new one on - although I have to say I immediately felt bereft at not being able to scan! 😱 The sensor came off fairly easily and it hasn't left a mark, so looking promising - previously I was left with a big purple blotch 😱 Very overcast here and looks a bit windy from looking at the neighbour's Yorkshire flag 🙂
 
Oops! 😳 I completely forgot to check in the last few days! What can I say? I’m in the middle of golf fever! 😳 Must try harder to remember to check in now & again. Please don’t worry: I’m in golf heaven! 😛:D😎

The weather was still wet & windy last week & turned scorching hot just in time for The Open except for yesterday when it rained!

Tuesday’s waking BS was 8.7 yesterday’s was 7.0 & this morning’s is 05:03 BS 8.2. It’s been a bit erratic because I overdid the water bottle exercise & injured my right neck, I told physiotherapist yesterday during last appointment; he says a flare up. Still happy to discharge me to carry on the same exercises with 2 resistance bands, yellow & red, to add strength: yellow to start with & work up to the harder red one. Wait for flare up to calm down before resuming water bottle stretches without any weight, no water bottle & just hands locked together to lift up as high as the stretching point. Right neck muscle is still tender but, calming down. Then slowly add a can of beans, then a little water & work it up to a full bottle! 🙄

Been glued to the TV screen watching the golf practice rounds on Now TV streaming Sky Sport Golf channel. The Open starts this morning at 06:30 with Darren Clarke teeing off first. Rory starts just after 10am & Tiger just after 3pm.

Will try harder to check in but, if I forget: I’m glued to the TV & ok! 😉:D😛

Edited to correct left to right: I kept confusing the two sides AND my physiotherapist until I pointed to the side! I’ve always tended to get the two confused now & then! 😱:Do_O
 
Morning early birds, a 7 for me again, Patty does like to show her mettle on the consistency front. @Michael12420 and @Flower hope today brings less slime like pasta and fewer bruises, in fact flower never mind the pillows on the furniture a full body pillow suit might be in order 😉

10.9 this morning - I’m sure my specialist said insulin will bring my readings down
Click to expand...
it will eventually but it's better to get them down slowly and gradually hun, I see your on a mixed insulin too so maybe it's just not the correct dose yet for what your eating, chin up

Good morning my lovelies! 🙂

Typed out over 100 eliquid recipes yesterday think I have a touch of RSI today 🙄

Horrid weather through the night with rain battering off the window but got up to beautiful sunshine at 6

Have a great day folks! :D

Morning all, an 8.6 for me today. Hopefully it will stay dry today as we're starting to do the decking area in the back garden.
 
6.1 for me!
Same as bedtime last night!
I wonder did it stay the same all night long? :confused:
Have a great day everyone!!

Good morning everyone. 10.7 this morning with a horrible cold. I want to go back to bed but I’ve got art therapy clas at 9.30 and I’ve already missed the last two classes due to bad health. The class and the people there are very lovely.
