Group 7-day waking average?

05:23 BS 6.0 🙂 Already munching half oatcake & had half breakfast dose!

Just checked the golf & only dropped to 5th with3 left to finish so, definitely in the top 10 & made it to Thursday’s opening round!:D Official results, as always, at 08:00!🙄

It’s yet another chilly morning & I’ve switched on the heater for a bit! Shivering emoji!

Asda delivery today 12:00 to 14:00 & I’ll be batch cooking again when it comes. Sweating, wiping brow in effort emoji!

Got a phone call from my eldest sister, in Ballymena, yesterday as I’d actually missed her text message: had taken to regular short chats via text messages checking on my progress as she’s the only one who knows; I was in the kitchen eating an early lunch around 11:30. She was worried at first that I didn’t text her back but, was relieved I left my phone on the bedside table, I don’t tend to carry my phone with me everywhere, & then, was very happy to hear how much I’d improved from just the sound of my voice! I said day to day I don’t really notice but, over a week I have noticed my breathing has gotten quite a bit better. Today is the last day of isolation & I CAN go out tomorrow if I want to, if I feel up to it!🙄

An early Good Morning to you all & it looks like another day of carrying the Sunshine on the Inside kind of day as there’s not much Sun on the outside!😉 Have a Wonderful Day fiolks!:D😛😉
 
Good morning all,

Today's reading is back in the 6's for me at 6.0

Morning all it’s a new week 3.6

Thanks @Stitch147, I started watching Designated Survivor, now on 3rd episode🙂

Attempting a walk today trying to avoid falling off kerbs. How difficult can it be?😉

Hope you are all doing ok out there.

Designated Survivor is bonkers fun!
 
5.9 this morning for me. A little higher than it’s been of late but nothing I can think of which would explain why - unless it was completely forgetting to take any metformin yesterday of course.

@Lanny I’m now playing the same virtual golf but am firmly in Rookie 1 so don’t have the coin to enter the tournament yet. It’s more difficult than it at first appears. The addition of a driving range wouldn’t hurt because then one could get through a bucket of balls for target practice!
 
@ColinUK Just use tour 1 to perfect your shots: everyone else does! And 1 major tip don’t move on to higher tours too fast as you’ll need better equipment & you may win at first but, without upgrading your clubs you’ll get beaten sooner or later! Put in the hard work & practice on tours 1 & 2 until you replace all your beginner clubs would be much better!
 
6.6 for me today. Work are going to do a risk assessment on each of us in the ‘vulnerable hub’ so am really hoping I can go back. Although I have T2 and CHD both are under good control and I don’t have access to so much that I need where I am. With my colleague being off with a fractured pelvis and both other secretaries having holidays coming up I am actually needed there, let’s wait and see. Anyway better get ready for another day, have a good one all. Take care x
 
Morning all. :D 3.9 on the Libre which is about 5 on a finger prick.

Another day of walking, eating, reading, eating, gardening, eating. 😛 Hoping Mark Drakeford can relax the rules enough for us to go and visit family SOON.🙂

Keep on keeping safe ev1.🙂
 
Morning all, 6.1 here. Havent been in the 6s for a while. Oh yes, that'll be last night's unexpected apple crumble, I was a tad higher going to bed.(unexpected because there was more left over from Sunday than I thought, and had intended to feed it all to OH)
 
Morning. A very nice 6.1, that’s more like it. Dull at the moment like yesterday morning but it got out lovely on our walk to pick the car up from the repair shop. Nice new uncracked panoramic glass roof. We did have a perfectly good hire car supplied by the insurance company but we dropped it off early and decided to walk, as we do. 4.7 miles. Nothing too exciting today expect a bit of gardening I think, as it’s our garden waste pickup tomorrow and they are only collecting four weekly at the moment so we need to fill it! Have a good day all. :D
 
Morning

Well the old washing machine is now sitting outside the house door in the closey, I knew Bruce was being too ambitious thinking he could get it down the stairs himself! Hopefully 2 folk are coming for it later today as my old mates mum wants it for some project, cant use running water in the kitchen sink just now as the outlet pipe pours everywhere so filling the basin with the shower and carrying it to the kitchen sink to do the dishes and then carting it back through to pour down the bath, the sooner this is over the better!

Anyways it’s a 4.7 for me, was 6.4 at bedtime so took on 2 and a bit digestive biscuits so may need to try a half unit reduction in my basal

Stay safe my lovelies and try and have a nice day
xx

Morning all it’s a 4.0 for me.

I managed to stay safely on the pavement yesterday, thinking of trying to walk to town today to see what normal life used to look like. I just want to see something other than front gardens and trees!

I hope you’re all doing ok out there.
 
Well, another disappointing reading for me today..... back up at 9.9 but then I didn't get out for my walk yesterday. Thankfully my 4 units of NR worked better this morning and brought me down to 3.9 after an hour and a half and then half an apple for breakfast has stabilised me.

@Lanny Well done on qualifying
