I had a click and collect last night and for once, not one substitution. Unlike the last one when they substituted Green & Black 85% with 70%! Oh and I got Diet Coke. Soz! I do know there is an egg shortage because everyone is baking apparently and Tesco won’t let you buy more than a dozen. I’m well egged. Got 18 on Tuesday from butcher and daughter give us fresh ones from her hens on Wednesday. Lots of frittatas and poached eggs been eaten.
00:21 BS 7.8!😱 Oh my! The first half decent waking BS in SO long: I’m ECSTATIC; hopefully spelt it right this time to keep Ted @KARNAK happy!😉 & a Jumping Up & Down in Joy Duracell Bunny emoji!
Ok, it’s a bit higher than the 4-7 range but, I’ll take that & work with it!🙄😉
JUST couldn’t WAIT to post this until a decent hour for you lot of normal risers: hopefully I’ll become one again too; but, still at the “sleep when I can” stage!😉 I can’t tell you how many little snoozes I have as well in between my waking hours!🙄
An EXTREMELY early Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day coming up ahead!😉
PS:- had half oatcake & trying 16 units Novorapid, to be on the safe side as I don’t want a hypo, & 24 units Levemir: dithered with maybe reducing it a bit but, will eat later & want to stay in target; SUCH a long time & hard work getting my BS back into range!🙄😱
PPS:- TOO knackered to play ANY golf at all on Saturday after changing the bed so, played 9 holes on Sunday & will finish the last 9 holes now, in the early hours of this Monday morning before the final round finishes at 07:45 with official results at 08:00. Currently -13 for 9 holes!🙂
Couldn’t resist posting! 😳 I ask for your indulgence?😉
Just finished all back 9 holes in one go & it was a mixed bag of 2 dripped Eagles, only I of which I picked back up by a HIO so, still -25 for 18 holes! A so, so smile! But, still pretty good considering I wasn’t 100% with the focus & concentration needed to be consistent: that’s the key in all tournaments, especially the full ones as opposed to 9 hole cups; if you qualify in one Q1 round, there’s 3 if you need it, you can end up playing each of the 9 holes 5 times if you make it all the way to the final! More times if it takes you all 3 qualifying rounds to get there: that’s what it took for me in some of my earlier tournaments!😱
Here’s my HIO in The Safari Sunrise Tournament Weekend Round Hole 12 Acacia Reserve 3C par 3:-
I finished in 62nd. Place & will most likely fall as others finish in a very low scoring tournament: leader is on -31; the leaders are consistent when I couldn’t be! 🙄
My Q1 round card:-
My Opening Round card:-
And my Weekend Round card:-
Inconsistent but, I got to the final, will get a finalist medal & get points for my clan! 🙂
Official results at 08:00 & I’ll see where I finish & post my medal when I get it!🙄
Morning all,
A 5.7 on the meter today.
A pivotal day for many ... 6 of the 7 dwarfs can meet together again, I guess the one who isn't will be 'grumpy'.
On a more serious note, children being allowed back to school today, a learning time for everyone... Children, parents, teachers, councils and the government.
We await the progress with prayer...
Morning all, am happy that my grandchildren will not be returning to school yet. My granddaughter is supposed to but my daughter has made the decision not to send her, I agree with her.
6.2 again this morning which I am pleased with. Need to get ready for work. Normally curl my hair but no point as my hair is too long so I’ll have to go looking a bit of a mess, at least I don’t come into contact with any patients so it won’t matter.
Have a good day, it’s going to be another hot one xx
Have a stinking headache today, between the young lad downstairs playing thumping loud music whenever he pleases every single day and the brat that stays downstairs and across whinging all day everyday it’s enough to drive anyone up the wall but even worse that I cant go out and escape from it for a while!
Anyways its a 5.7 for me this morning, hoping for a relatively stress free day although cant see it as most of the weeks teas in shopping is coming, maybe tomorrow 🙄 Bruce on his second week back at work now, has switched to alcohol gel for the bus as of today as his hands and wrists are swollen from the gloves last week
For anyone that has children/grandchildren or are a teacher returning to work today stay safe, our schools aren't planned for returning until August up here which I agree with of course not that it really affects me, not sure how it all effects Bruce's sister though as she's a registered child minder
Morning all, 4.7 here. Monday must mean it’s the joyless supermarket run. On my own, work to a strict list, try not to forget anything on the way round, as going back against the arrows is difficult. I must say, though, the checkout staff are all really friendly and make the whole process bearable.
Good morning. only 2 and just do not understand why. I had a substantial dinner last night of lamb chops, mash, carrots cabbage and gravy. I was 7.3 before I ate and injected just 3 NR even though I didn't think that was enough.
I hate to say it @Michael12421 but it sounds like a basal test’d be really helpful right now. I hate doing them, so I just do the lunch-time test. That way you’ll find out if your basal dose is set correctly - it’s the foundation for MDI, whether we eat 5/ 3 / 2 / 1 meals a day.
Morning folks. 6.2 here.
Sooo itchy, got prickly heat! Anyone got any advice for me, soooo itchy.😛
A 6.9 this morning, unwarranted, I may add. Another gorgeous day coming up. We had originally planned to have a trip out somewhere “quiet” in the Lakes but after seeing the news reports last night and all the crowds, we’ve changed our minds, it made me very anxious. Will wait until the weather changes on Wednesday and reconsider. So another day on the lounger it is then. Life’s hard! 😉
Well done @ColinUK on your HS and, I’m assuming, weight loss.
00:21 BS 7.8!
