Morning all. 6.8 today, I went to bed too low, didn’t want to eat. A lovely day up here, never got the leeks transplanted, rain did not stop until way past lunch time and by then we decided to go for a walk to visit daughter number three. 6 miles for my tally sheet, not sure I will hit 1000 “ boots on”( no pootling round house/ Tesco etc) miles this year. Lockdown held me back, but you never know. Nearly on 500 so not too far behind. Gardening for us too today, and maybe squeeze a wee walk in. Have a sunny Sunday everyone. 🙂

08:17 BS 5.7 🙂
Loquacious warning read below ********************** if you want to skip: I won’t know! 😉
*********************************************************************************************************************************
As to yesterday: it was a frustratingly annoying day & I only tested once, the waking one 08:06 BS 9.3. Woke with a headache too that felt like a hypo hangover! I’ve been having trouble eating the last few days & not finishing my meals as my tastebuds have gone crazy: everything tastes SO intense; even bottled water tastes, for want of a better word, a bit salty!😱 Hardly ate at all yesterday & managed by drinking my glass of coke slowly throughout the 4 active hours of Novorapid when I ate, managed not to go hypo despite only eating half my meals but, I was SUPER thirsty as the coke tasted EVEN worse than food! The last meal I ate the least of, just couldn’t eat more than a third of as it was SO INTENSE, was dinner on 17/07/20 17:08 BS 6.8 & fell asleep more or less after. Must have gone low in the night & then climbed back up after active insulin: slept right through midnight & no Midnight dose at all didn’t help; very groggy getting up yesterday morning!
Yesterday was a bit better in that I went back to bolusing after eating to see how much I ate & didn’t eat much either all day but, at least didn’t guzzle any coke to keep hypos at bay. NOW I know I’m recovering after a long slow lost of taste, so slow I don’t notice day to day, that’s happened SO many times when I’ve been ill & BS is elevated: when the BS comes back down when on the mend; BOOM, all my tastebuds go into hyperdrive & everything tastes SO intense until I adjust!😱
Also, had a frustrating day of bad olay during my final round of the Golf Clash 9 Hole Cup! I did finish off the last 3 holes reasonably well enough to get into the final in 2nd. Place on -12: dropped Birdie on 1 hole but, picked up an extra, lucky, Eagle on the last hole by, ironically laying up & NOT going for it! So, for the first time ever starting the final in 5th. Place, the highest start I’ve ever had; completely wasted though as I played SO badly in the final dropping shots everywhere as I just couldn’t hit straight! An absolutely TERRIBLE -7: CRIKEY from -12 to -7; MASSIVE drop in form! But, that was pretty much how I felt all day yesterday!😱
Just saw where I finished at, this morning after wakingfor my, in the end, disappointing first Pro Tournament, albeit only a 9 Hole Cup, in 82nd & here’s my medal, note the blue ribbon of Pro, as opposed to the green ribbon of Rookie:-
There is only 1 day to play the final in 9 Hole Cups so, had to play yesterday when I wasn’t at my best & there’s only 1 go at each hole as there’s only 1 set of 9 holes: no second go on the back 9 after learning & adjusting after the front 9! Still it’s a step up getting a Pro medal & is ranked at the top of all my other medals! So, a🙂 for that!
Hopefully I’ll adjust better today & my tastebuds start toning down & I’ll stick to bolusing after I eat to see how much I eat today?🙄
A very long winded post, didn’t know it was going to be SO long, so, actually better stick a loquacious warning at the top! Back in a mo!

A Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Morning all. 6.3 for me today. Yesterday was a bit odd...sensor showing 3.7 or 3.8 three times but when i did the finger prick i was high 4's or 5's. Oh well probably sensor bedding in as it was under 24hrs. Today the sun is out showing up how bad my windows are, better get cleaning. Have a lovely day everyone.

4.8 this morning from a flat line overnight. Definitely settled down now.
Happy holidays @Bexlee. I remember that feeling at the end of term.
I hope the rug dried out @SueEK !
Lovely tribute to Lola @Michael12421
Hope today is a better day @Hazel
We now have a very organised garden shed. EVERYTHING came out yesterday and we have a large pile of stuff for the tip, including some plastic pots (how many do we really need!!) we now have a place for everything and everything in its place. Very satisfying. A lazier day today with a walk with friends and then all for a meal and a game or two of cribbage. Haven’t played for ages.
Have a good day all.

A 9.1 for me, although I was awake from 2.30 til 5.30 and then slept til 10.30. I actually did what I said would yesterday and gave the campervan a good spring clean. Took ages but am pleased to have got it done. Didn't do the decorating though. Half the day is over and not done anything, still in my Jamas. Hopefully meeting a friend for a dog walk if I can summon up the energy.

No reading this morning but I did weigh myself and have out 4lbs on, oops. Will soon get rid of that. Back to work today and all steam ahead, also eye test later this afternoon so that will be interesting. Doggy still got upset tummy, fish and rice today, no accidents though thankfully. Have a good day one and all, it’s supposed to be a nice one x

Morning all,
Well two days in a row and 5.6 again!
Looks beautiful out there and shaping up for an early morning run in an hour.
Today on our 'virtual cruise' week two we are docked in ... Venice!
Oh how I love this place with THE best sailaway views in the world! Been a few few times but never disappoints there is so much to see and do. A gondola ride... of course, marvelling at the beautiful buildings, absolutely and then finding a back street cafe for a bite to eat, wonderful! What about a boat trip to the island of Murano to the famous glass factory or St Mark's Basilica, the Doge's Palace or watching them make Carnival masks? Temp today at midday will be a lovely 27 degrees so whatever you decide, a day will not be long enough!
Blessings Snowwy

A shocking 7.1 for me but I’m almost certain I never had my Levemir last night. It was too late to check on my thingy at the end of my pen as I’d already dialled up this morning’s dose. What a numpty, can’t remember the last time I did that. I also didn’t put away the leftovers from last night’s tea. Obviously my brain wasn’t working last night. I read solid for over 3 hours whilst Mr Eggy was watching Braveheart.....again! The story was whirring around my mind when I went to bed, will get it finished before breakfast, then I can get on with my exciting day! 😛
@Snowwy very envious of your trip to Venice today, on my bucket list. Enjoy. Everyone else have a fab day even if, like me, you won’t be anywhere near a gondola!🙂
