Group 7-day waking average?

Morning folks. :D 9.2 here...I keep telling Mr Bloden not to use tomato paste, but he has a mental block when it comes to the concentrated carb-packed red stuff - sends me sky-high. Ho hum. The spag bol was deeeee-lish tho.😛
 
Morning all and 6.7 thanks to a gluco tab due to a slight mistiming of my evening bolus. Could have been worse.

Back to the home office today. Got a fine collection of garden waste to dispose of when the tip re opens.

Have a good day everyone.
 
just found out that my spleen less condition has been “ upgraded”, and not in a good way, to the shielding list. Now to find another new normal. :( Stay safe everyone
Sorry to hear that. I assume the 12 weeks starts from the beginning of the lockdown, not from now.
The wether is changing so I am glad that you were still allowed out during the sunshine. Take care
 
4.4 this morning.

Planning a longer walk today but it won’t be shorts anymore.
Then hopefully a week of some creativity indoors with this colder weather.
 
6.2 this morning, so still struggling to get back down into the 5's.

Lovely surprise yesterday. Got a message from my daughter, saying 'go and look out the front window' - and there she was, plus my grandson!
They had cycled over, and it was the first time I had actually seen them since isolation. We had a 'shout' conversation across the front garden, got a bit emotional, and then they were on their way again. A very special treat.

I’m not certain. I’ve managed to get an appointment with a nurse this morning believe it or not! I realised with all the talk about splenectomies that I was well overdue, about 3 years I reckon, my pneumonia booster. Oops! So getting that and I’ve to ask her about the shielding. Mr Eggy will drop me right at the door. I’ll be armed with my hand sanitizer so should be safe. Will let you know what happens.
 
Morning all I’ll join you @SB2015 on the 4.4 podium today.

Excellent HS work @MeeTooTeeTwo .🙂

My quest today is for some fluffy slippers online - only really need 1 as my other leg is in a cast but I’ll settle for a pair! Not many shopping options for a left slipper🙂

Hope it goes well @eggyg. And hope you get some good pointers about the new shielding situation you find yourself in.

Perhaps you should start up a slipper exchange for people with the same problem, t'other foot! 🙂 Good luck in your Quest O @Flower, may the internet overlords be mindful of your journey through their realm and keep you from harm 🙂
 
Morning all,
6.0 at 5 am and have now been for a 5k run...
Went to bed on a 5.3 so I must manufacture glucose in my sleep!
Another of the mysteries of life along with...

Do worms yawn? I ask myself...

Have a blessed day

Good morning peeps.🙂

Another lovely day, and a balmy 13 degrees. Lunch on the balcony beckons. Woke up on 4.7 after a nice all-in-range trace overnight. No lumps or bumps, so that’s the basal sorted. Whoopee (yawn).😉

Paid the price for changing the duvet cover. Every muscle protesting. Even the ones I never knew I had. Mutiny😡 Had to swallow a Tramadol before bed (first time in months), so had vivid dreams through the night. No risk cinema, so can’t complain. PG rather than 18 certificate, more’s the pity. These synthetic opiates aren’t a patch on the real stuff.🙄

I see the “government” are thinking of ways to ease the lockdown in England. Best of luck with that, then. Any easing will cause a spike in infection rate. You can’t just invent a light at the end of the tunnel, the light at the end of the tunnel is the light of an oncoming train. Let’s hope the revitalised Boris realises that. I think he does.

Anyway, if you think you are having it hard, don’t forget the poor Muslims and Ramadan. They can’t eat or drink between sunrise and sunset, so in the Northern Hemisphere it’s far more of a sacrifice. Good luck to ‘em, say I. Hope it stays cooler.🙂

Have a good day, everyone, I will as soon as the caffeine lifts the Trammie fog. 😳

Nice post Mike. Totally agree about us not easing the restrictions - let's hope Boris is of a like mind. Thank goodness we have him instead of Trump aaargh!!
 
Woohoo! Guess who is in the 5s for the third day in a row? 5.7 for me this morning and I am absolutely made up about it! Maybe I have this diabetes thing cracked...... who am I kidding! I know that comment will almost certainly jump up and bite me tomorrow morning but will be very happy indeed if it doesn't.

@MeeTooTeeTwo Many congrats on your Bingo win.

@Michael12421 Good luck getting some masks. Did you see the info someone posted last week about making your own out of an old sock... I had a go and it worked great... I used folded kitchen paper instead of a coffee filter. Will see if I can find the thread....

Afternoon all. The day goes too fast. I need to get back in the garden. 7.4 @ 6.33am 🙂
 
A nice HOUSE SPECIAL this morning. Lovely.
Hope everyone is ok. Awake at the crack of dawn this morning. Doesn’t help that I had to get up for the loo three times in the night thanks to baby!
