Group 7-day waking average?

5.5 this morning. Lovely and sunny here. Might take the youngest out skating later - the one road suitable around here was re-surfaced a couple do days ago. Still good excuse to go into the lovely Abbey gardens in town

Good morning all from sunny Cumbria, for a change, it’s not to last I’m afraid. Same as yesterday for me 6.5 which is fine after my delicious three course anniversary dinner cooked by Mr Eggy. It was delicious. But, most importantly we’ve had our hair cut, or should that be hairs as there’s two of us? Anyways Mr Eggy no longer looks like the oldest swinger in town, he’s got more of a Peaky Blinders short back and sides going on, very handsome. I’ve gone totally blonde instead of just blonde highlights and back to my usual short hair.
Busy morning, girls and the families coming for a celebration this afternoon, and we’re doing the catering! We don’t mind, we enjoy it.
Have a smashing Sunday all.🙂View attachment 14893

Skateboard? Rollerblades? I used to do both, don't give me roller boots though, bruised the bone in my wrist on those and the hospital said it would've been less painful to have broken it! Yes a wheel in each corner was more troublesome for me than 4 wheels in a straight line lol xx
 
Great photo @eggyg, so glad you had a lovely time x

At the start of all this I decided not to record and review my results in the same ways as I had done before. Things have been weird and different. Cut yourself some slack and know that Diabetes has no memory, so tomorrow is another day.

Thanks for the encouragement SB. I wish my diabetes didn’t have such a good memory. It’s stuck in the high 7’s or 8’s which are unheard of for me as waking figures :(

Today is a 7.9 but I’ll press on undeterred.

Woke today with two blocked ears and a 6.4 - which probably has more to do with the blocked Eustachian tubes than anything else.
Hearing is incredibly muffled and I can’t get them to pop clear. No doubt they’ll ease over the course of the day (hopefully).

I get this Colin and massage the side of my ears and down the tubes with Olbas Oil. Helps me a bit.

Lovely photo of you both and hope you have a wonderful family day! I cut my husband’s hair and never been so nervous in my life! Made a good job amazingly.
 
Late morning all! Was 5.4 when I woke up. Lost our internet connection last night, possibly connected with the thunderstorm we had. Anyway, there was an Openreach van parked by the green cabinet on the corner as I drove past on my way to riding this morning (and a man staring into the cabinet scratching his head) and by the time I got back the internet was up and running again.
 
4.7 for me today.

Hope everyone had a good day.

Get well soon @Kaylz and hope the ears sort themselves out @ColinUK
 
Morning all,
6.2 this morning without @Michael12421 baked beans 🙂 !

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning All, it's a 5.6 for me this morning
 
Morning! 6.9 for me. It’s absolutely torrential up here, but it’s ok we’re going to Humberside, where, according to the BBC weather app, it’s also torrential rain! It’ll be reet! (I’ve been practicing the lingo). Had a fab day yesterday with the family, got some lovely presents and cards and lots of laughs. It almost felt “normal” except for the lack of hugs. :(
Brekkie now and finish packing, food all in the cool box, no restaurants or shops, hopefully, will be entered this holiday. That sounds weird and goes right against the grain. Lots of walking and birdwatching will be done. I have it on good authority that the puffins are still at Bempton Cliffs, so fingers crossed they don’t decide to fly off before tomorrow! Have a Happy Monday everyone and I’ll try and keep in touch, do they have Wi-fi in the wilds of the Humber Estuary?🙄

Morning - 5.9 - made some more baked beans!

So, it looks like you need a slow release carb with your evening meal to make it through the night ¡sin bajones! (without hypos). 🙂 Result!

Morning all. 5.6 here.:D

Rain, boo hoo. Oh well, I’m off to see my mum today - she’s a ray of sunshine.😎
 
Morning

Well spent Thursday and Friday higher than I like because of being unwell, had a not too bad a day level wise Saturday and although tummy struck again through Saturday night into Sunday I decided to change my bed yesterday morning and spent the day on the lower side and topping up with glucose chews, I must remember I can no longer spontaneously do these sorts of things and they have to be carefully planned!

Anyways its a 5.5 for me on a dull, wet miserable day so my bedding wont be getting washed just yet 🙄

Have a nice day my lovelies
xx
