Group 7-day waking average?

Having got a week’s average waking BG, which was 5.5, I’m not going to be going down to the kitchen at 06:00. Having made the effort to go downstairs, wash my hands, prick a finger etc, I awarded myself a cappuccino. Then my usual two cappuccinos with breakfast. It’s a bad habit I need to break.

We met up with friends at a local hostelry for breakfast this morning. [Way more carbs than usual - toast, potato bread etc] We were there for quite a long time before all taking a walk around Bangor marina. On the way home we stopped in Donaghdee for small tubs of ice cream. Small = 3 scoops!

I was home in time to watch the British GP and then immediately went out for a brisk 80 minute walk. On my return I did a check on my BG expecting bad news but was very pleased to get a 5.2!!

I got a U for French O level. Perversely I’m quite proud of it especially when a few years later I found myself being able to converse in it pretty decently, read newspapers in it just fine and to understand the weather forecast which was broadcast in French.
I spent lots of time in Val d’Isere over the winters and the forecast in French would someone be significantly different to that in English and it paid to know the difference.
Also worked in Paris for a while.

Our school French mistress called me outright in the oral exam because when answering the questions about what my parents I told her my dad was an astronaut, mum a jewel thief, and that we lived in a 36 bedroom chateau.

Only time I ever saw her laugh was when I asked if I could do French A level.

She was a classic stereotype of the buttoned up, utterly humourless, beret wearing, galouise smoking, 2CV driving Frenchwoman from some tiny village in rural France.

My French teacher used to ask me to read because it was so funny as I was so bad. Not exactly encouraging. It certainly helped me to develop a very clear plan of ‘no put downs’ in my own classroom as a teacher. I certainly did not want any student to feel like I did in French lessons.

Years later I was on a cycling holiday in France. She had done A level French. We ended up with a three way conversation on a campsite. I could understand the French better than my friend but she could make up sentences to reply. I still resort to French if I am abroad, wherever I am. Silly as probably English would be more common in some places.
 
5.1 for me this morning. 🙂
Stay safe and well everybody.

Morning all, 6.4 on the door today. Went out for breakfast yesterday to our local airport (Shoreham), beautiful 1920’s building, it is lovely and so is the breakfast. It was used in one of scenes from Poirot. Off to work shortly and then doggy has vet later for her overdue vaccinations. Apparently I am not allowed to go in with her, that will be interesting. Think she now needs to be on a low dose anti inflammatory as she is so stiff after a walk, when you can get her out for a walk that is.
Have a good day all, be careful as figures are rising x
 
Morning All, It's a 4.7 for me this morning
 
Morning all,
5.6 this morning.
Gearing up to spend the day decorating our daughters loft conversion room at her place. She wants it to be more of an office than a junk room.
Hope it's not too hot up there...
Blessings Snowwy
 
I’m off to the hospital for a 09:00 appointment - parking etc, so I’m going to give myself plenty of time. It’s the cardiac department that’s called me in. There’s no indication why, but hopefully a checkup.
 
5.5 this morning and another day of legalese filled conference calls with counsel awaits.

I’m also intending to head out on a little bike ride. There’s a new dockless bike scheme that’s just sprung up called Human Forest. All electric assisted bikes and 20 minutes free use a day. OK so 20 minutes won’t get me that far but it might be fun to cycle down to the Thames and walk back.

How do they come up with these names? Isn’t a forest generally thick?
Probably a “brain storming” meeting full of people who don’t have the raw material.
 
Morning

Bruce had a call about 6:30pm last night asking him to be at the hospital today for 7:30, rang his mum who couldn't manage as she had to take their granddaughter back up the road today who was late down for the weekend anyway due to him needing taken to the hospital on Saturday morning so she phoned his dad, all sorted, less than an hour later the hospital were back on the phone asking him to be there for 7am and they would try and get him first on the list so there's a better chance he'll get home today, if he does get home I won't be seeing him though as he's going to go and stay with his mum and dad tonight

Anyways it's a 6.2 for me today

Have a nice day folks
xx
 
Morning all. 5.9 like yesterday. Just forced myself to get up. Have felt overwhelming tired these last couple of days but have realised why. I started taking Cetrizine ( antihistamine) on Saturday as I got bitten last week and as usual I have had an allergic reaction to it. I got these off the doctor last year. I haven’t had a reaction last this from a British insect, it’s usually mozzies whilst I’m abroad. This is on my right calf and my ankle has swollen too. Going to call docs this morning. If you’re squeamish look away now. It’s huge.😱 Mr Eggy isn’t getting to pop it it’s just to show the size!
Have a nice day.🙂

Morning all, I need to get back in the habit of posting on here. 8.5 for me today. And it was 2 years ago today that I said goodbye to Transport for London.
