Group 7-day waking average?

Blooooomin eck @Baz. You’re going great guns!

Morning all. 8.0 here. So, I either up the Tresiba or do some gardening today...gardening, plz. That pesky bindweed is back!

Aw, @eggyg, sounds like my kind of place too - can you send me the link?! Chin up, you’ll get there eventually.

(My smilies have gone cold! I can see them but can’t click on them) :(
Thanks @Bloden

I’ve tried to attach a link but can’t. It’s Cottages and Castles, the cottage is Poppies in Pirnmill. It’s lovely, we’ve moved it to next April. Seems a long way away but it will be worth it.
 
Morning all, 8.7 for me today.
Been reminiscing about this time last year as we embarked on our Route 66 trip. This day last year we was in Winslow Arizona. And we stood on a corner.

Morning all, glorious again here. 8.8 @ 7.09am

Good haul at Aldi, I like that they let the ol' bids in early, back before 9. 40 ltrs compost £1.99, tray four Fuchsias £3 odd. Plus cold chicken for tonights tea. They've opened our B&Q store, I shall be getting in a lot of compost tomorrow before the wheels fall off my Sholley.

Shocked at those poor twins who lost their lives. Very sad. I don't think peoples with underlying health issues should be working. :( EDIT/ Shouldn't be working I meant to say, doh!

President Trump is a tit, somebody should inject him with disinfectant.

Route 66! Fabulous.

I've never seen mine since the change over. 🙂 I have a couple I can type in, but I miss them!

I think my brother just had the virus? My sister thinks he had hayfever, not much difference there then. He had the red rimmed bloodshot eyes and I saw a similar picture of C19 victims with those eyes. I wish we had testing.

Good morning folks🙂

I woke up on 6.0, which is nice after a post meal Magnum last night. Insulin shot spot on. That’s the advantage of being T1. You can cover up your sins much more easily. It’s a sin free time anyway, while I wait for a new battery for the scales.😉

Overdid the Creon slightly, so it’s the old trumpfest this morning. Doesn’t matter, I’m sitting on the balcony in the sunshine and fresh (ish) air stockpiling VitD, caffeine from a triple espresso, and nicotine from a vape. No different from any sunny day for me, the birds are singing and the little lambs are bleating for a meal from mum. In a few months they will be on my plate for a meal for me. Enjoy it while you can, little lambie😎

That’s the carnivore news. Thought it would make a change from coronavirus news.

In other news, you may think that Trump is mad for suggesting injecting Dettol to kill 99.9% of coronavirus in your body, but sales of guns in the US has increased by 40% since the pandemic started, presumably so they can shoot the virus. Who’s crazy now?

Anyway, it seems to be the weekend, so have a good one if it makes a difference.🙂

Doesn’t to me, I have to look at my phone in the morning to see what day it is. I’m not dementing, that’s what retirement does.
 
Morning all. 8.0 here
Hmmm how very odd that the only 2 regular commenters on this post on Tresiba have woken the same level, Tresibary going on lol xx
 
Well I am absolutely delighted to report a rare 5 for me this morning and right in the middle at 5.5.

Vet called at lunchtime to say that so far blood tests all look normal so liver and kidney function are fine. He is a bit concerned about his raised heart rate but I wonder if that is due to chronic pain. He is a pretty fit but chilled out horse, so his resting heart rate should be lower.
@Ditto Yes he is called Ernie and he also pulls a cart when he is not being ridden, and he is very fast, but it is not a milk cart and we are in the east not the west.... and the horse was actually called Trigger and the milkman was called Ernie in the song L believe.... but other than that it all fits!.... assuming that was your line of thought 🙂
PS. Well done on your low carb day yesterday. Don't be too disheartened by your reading this morning, it takes a few days for change of diet to have an impact. Stick with it. Great to hear that you weren't tempted to eat any of your Mum's sweets because you were feeling full. That is the key. Make it easy to be good.
 
Good morning all my reading for today is 6.9 hope everyone has a good safe day
 
4.8 this morning. 🙂
Another contemporary word - "furlough" (wrongly spelled or wrongly pronounced?) 😛
What's wrong with "leave (of absence)"
Furlough should be reserved for the times when your cat's alopecia is playing up! 😱

Stay safe and well.

Spooky @Kaylz. ‘Tis witchcraft, I tell ye.

4.2 here. 😛 It’s a real pea-souper here this morning. More like the Bermuda Triangle than South Pembs.😱
 
Morning, yes I'm a bit later but nope its not a long lie to blame (unfortunately 🙄 ) just decided to wait until I was on the laptop today

Well yesterdays 8.0 may just have been the near 30g carbs from the previous evening catching up as came down to 7.0 by dinner, 6.4 by tea and 6.0 at bedtime without any corrections so some more digestives for that 6.0 has resulted in a 5.3 this morning

Try and have a nice day my lovelies
xx

Thanks @eggyg. :D We’re hoping to get to our house in Spain in January - it’ll be completely overgrown by then - we’d best take machetes to find the front door! Think Jumanji...eek!o_O
 
Morning all, 5.4 here. Being a numpty, I injected 5 units of basal last night, which is my daytime dose, instead of 3.5. luckily the second helping of custard tart mopped it up. ( I had some whole milk, which I buy to froth in my coffees, left over because my local supermarket has stopped selling pint cartons of milk, and I have to buy 2pt ones. That’s a good enough excuse for making custard tart).
 
6.8 today
 
Morning all. 5.8. I had a long lie today, up for the loo at 6, got back into bed and two minutes later it was 8.20! For the first time in what seems ages it isn’t a nice sunny morning, very cloudy and Skiddaw has completely disappeared from sight! It’s the grand opening of the door today, after 6 days of stripping, sanding, filling, undercoating, sanding, filling, undercoating and finally the high shine white gloss, the furniture goes back on today. No more hoolies blowing through my hall. I might wear a hat for the unveiling! Have a safe Sunday. 🙂
