Well, guess who got another 5 this morning!!! Woohoo! Can hardly believe it! It is a 5.6 for me today.
I have not been eating on an evening other than perhaps a piece of cheese and half a glass of red. Finding that I want to eat A LOT mid morning but after that, a snack here and there is keeping me going and that seems to really be helping me get stable fasting readings.
Hope everyone has a good day. Lovely to see the celebrations for the now Colonel Tom on breakfast TV this morning. Love that he got a fly past by a Spitfire and a Lancaster.
We at last got some rain overnight but barely enough to dampen the surface of the ground and fields are desperate for more. Lets hope it is slow and steady when it comes. Had a very pleasant walk this morning along the old railway line to the GP surgery in the next village to get my partner's medication and back along the riverbank, only marred by a slight hypo because I jogged more of it than usual.

I’m very grateful for the offer but alas I don’t think I’d fit into those unless I chopped my feet in half!
Have just found these online though and they come in my size...

Hi folks🙂
Very late reporting today, busy morning placing a priority Tesco order for next Thursday. Then trimming it down to 80 items exactly.🙄 Mind you, the morning wasn't very long, Didn't wake up till 10.30. I know, I'm a slob.
Woke on 6.2 this morning, which is good enough for me. What isn't quite good enough is my fitting new batteries in the weighing scales. Oh well, I suppose it's just the all the extra nibble time during lockdown. 1lb of nibbles.😡 1lb of peanuts and pork scratchings. Plus the odd jelly baby.🙄
Good news today🙂. My Civil Service pension gets a 1.7% increase starting from from last month. Even more spending money and nothing to spend it on, though my daughter is muttering about a new bathroom. Anyway, I'll try and keep the economy going as best I can. Not sure it's our economy mind, they don't make OLED TVs in Britain, though it will keep the excellent AO.com afloat. And Lakeland. And the SAA (art supplies). That's the trouble with this lockdown. You need to do things to occupy time, and they nearly all cost money, apart from weeding the garden.
Makes me feel guilty. I can afford to be disabled and locked down, most people can't. Most people are worrying what the future holds. I'm immune. Money isn't everything, but it sure eases the path. The problem with government is exactly this - MPs aren't on furlough. They don't have to wait for the banks to fork out the money for 80% of their pay to a maximum of £2500 a month. That's a fair bit less then my pension after tax, and it's less than 80% of an MPs income. More like 30%. They just don't get what living in this country is like for most of its population. Never have, never will. And not something taught or experienced at Eton or Oxford. Let's chuck 'em all out, then we can install some lot who will make me pay more tax for the NHS.
Yup, I feel guilty and I'm a slob.😛
Stay safe folks, as Boris says, there is light at the end of the tunnel. A dim light, but light nonetheless.

I usually change it when I make something else. Now that I am again able to upload photos I shall have to choose which one to use as it has been a while.

Good morning folks. At 07 00 yesterday the doorbell went, I untangled myself from the duvet and staggered to the door, to find a sorry we missed you note through the door but it wasn’t from royal mail
Through the glass I saw a package , It turned out to be a food parcel. Scratching my head I managed to drag it in , boy was it difficult .
In puzzlement I unpacked it, a bag of potatoes, rice , some tinned goods , tangerines and apples white bread, 2 loo rolls , a bag of root veg, some tea and coffee bags , some sachets of hot chocolate, a pack of biscuits and a bag of pasta with two bottles of pasta sauces. Right at the bottom was a letter saying something like, we would receive a food parcel like this once a week as they had been notified dad having difficulty getting shopping , eh, and that if any of our needs changed to let them know by the gov site and re register, which I did straight away. Oh I forgot the two pints of uht milk as we don’t need this help lovely though it is .
I hope whoever organises this food parcel in our area takes note that we don’t have any probs with food deliveries so that someone else who does can benefit from it . Later the postie delivered a letter from the gp for dad , saying he was shielded .
4.5 for me this morning and had a horrible hypo yesterday, have no idea how low as meter just said LO , I felt awful and lost the ability to talk but managed to do all the right things , so more Basal adjustments needed .
I hope you all have a good day.

Morning all 7.9 this morning.
I’m hopeful that today will be a better day compared to yesterday. Wednesday had virtual drinks with people I used to work with a year ago and it was good but it highlighted how much I miss human contact. I’ve got the cat but it’s not the same!
There’s also added stress now of a Court case which I can’t go into on here at all other than to say that it’s huge and the lawyers and QC are all working pro bono. It’s very early days but it’s still stressful. However if it goes as expected it’ll be a lovely boost to the old bank account eventually.
I’m back doing intermittent fasting so nothing to eat today until at least 10:30 which should be perfectly manageable and by then I’d hope to have heard back from the GP about the repeat prescription of metformin and my having the flexibility of taking more than the 2 tablets once daily if I’m having a BG spike.
Also as the weather appears to be a little more settled today I may get the chance to pot up the plants currently sitting on the balcony waiting for attention.
Weekly huge Zoom call with the extended family tonight and that’s always fun. We talk during the week but get together on a Friday night to light Shabbat candles and all witness how bonkers my parents are getting!
Have a good day folks x

Morning all. A very nice normal 6.3. I like normal. A very nondescript day, weather wise. Today is ironing day, where I will consume a can of Diet Coke and eat too much Lindt 85% whilst watching telly that Mr Eggy deems rubbish. ie Great British Sewing Bee. I love it, as has been previously mentioned, I don’t do craft as I’m absolutely rubbish at it, but I admire folks who can. Baby daughter doing the “ big” butchers shop today for us. I’m beyond excited. It’s sad isn’t it? Have a fab Friday and stay safe. 🙂
