Group 7-day waking average?

Robin said:
Morning all, I've done it again, another HS. Don’t get any for ages and three come along in under a week.
Did a 7mile walk yesterday, punctuated by lunch, and planning same today, but in the opposite direction. Son is staycationing with us this week, so we’re all pretending we are on hol. (he should have been at a friend's wedding in Turkey, now postponed til next year)

Like buses! Congratulations...again!
 
10:07 BS 10.0 after some sleep & exactly half of my waking BS yesterday with about 2 hours of DP as I woke just after 8am, tried going back to sleep can’t: gut is starting to wake up with the odd twinge of pain as I’m awake; going to take the laxatives now & throughout the day! 🙄o_O Oh what fun awaits me BUT, after a bit of sleep, I’m facing it with a sense of humour, at least!🙄😉
 
Morning all. In just under the wire if I type fast! 🙂

8.2 @ 9.27am had a lie in after being on BoredPanda till 3 reading spooky stories. We had thunder and lightning too but it's got no cooler. I've to go to the birthplace of the NHS to pick up new hearing aids and batteries for Mum, have to see security guard, stay at the door to A&E and phone up. Agh. Stress. Plus 2 soddin' buses, have a good day all. 🙂
 
Good afternoon fellow travellers🙂

I woke on 5.8 when the spectacular donner und blitzen kicked off around 2.00, and was 5.1 when I got up for a wee at 7.45. Went back to bed, woke up at 11.45 on 5.4. Apart from sleeping too much, that’s a damn fine demo of good basal control, even if I say it myself😎

I’ve been getting loads of deliveries this morning. The best came from Ecuador, ordered last Wednesday - Fed-Ex shining as usual. It’s a new hand made Panama Hat. The dog (RIP) chewed my last one to shreds. Looks super cool. That’ll be de rigeur in the Old Trafford members area next season, if there is one. I’m not old fashioned, I’m a style icon. With a cool head.🙂

Next delivery should be new pack of 6 sensors for the Libre. Now when you phone them, they warn that because of Covid, your call may not be answered by a UK call centre. That was the same last time I phoned, but the sensors still arrived four days after. You can’t tell any difference, to be honest, so best not to ask how the weather is in Finland.🙄

Have a good day folks, and if you find yourselves in a thunderstorm, stand at least 2m away from the tallest person. You know it makes sense.😉
 
😎Come on then @mikeyB lets have a peak at your Panama
 
Good morning 🙂 7.3 for me today 🙂 I've taken a week off from the Libre and it does make you realise 2 things - 1. that you can get through a lot of test strips in a week, and 2. that you get very little information from test strips 😱 Think I may put a sensor on tomorrow.

Another horrible night with absolutely no movement in the air, so no relief from open windows. And I live Oop North, so it must be particularly awful for those Dahn Sarf where if is even hotter :(
 
@Northerner you are so right about us Dahn Sarf!
Morning all, 6.1 on the meter this morning,
Grandparent duties today, I wonder what he has in store for us?

Blessings Snowwy
 
Mornings folks, a surprising 5.8 for me today, perhaps lack of sleep and feeling ‘done in’ is good for me?? Managed to get through my visit to the dentist and hygienist, usual story pointing out my gum disease. after 37 years of it it’s getting boring. Swollen leg has gone down this morning, let’s hope it stays that way. Off to work again need to leave early as need fuel.
Have a good day all, hoping the weather will break today, it’s sooo hot, 28 already here phew!!
 
Morning All, well it very very warm here in Cumbria with a very restless night sleep my reading for today is 6.4
 
Morning all. 🙂 9.0 here - pasta is a mystery to me. Sometimes I go low, sometimes I have a sustained high (like last night).😳

Off to see my mam today. A coffee out is planned...I can hardly contain myself, something ‘normal’!:D
 
Morning all, 5.4 here. Missed out on the thunderstorms last night, we could hear rumbles in the distance, and a fantastic display of near continuous sheet lightning. We had a teaspoonful of rain. More forecast today though.
 
Morning

Got up and opened my bedroom curtains at 5:50am to be greeted with a flash of lightening in my face! Torrential rain and horrendously loud thunder which has only just stopped a short while ago

Had a Morrison's delivery booked for last night to Bruce's between 10-11pm, email in the morning confirming it was packed etc and rather surprised as it was a large order with NO substitutions! But the even more shocking thing was the fact Bruce left here just before 9pm for me to receive a text while I was in the bathroom so didn't get it at 9:05pm from a strange number asking if I was ok to get my Morrison's delivery early! He was waiting outside Bruce's in the van when Bruce got there 😱

Anyways its a 5.4 for me this morning, still shockingly warm, thought the storm might have cleared the air and cooled it down a bit but no such luck :(

Have a nice day and stay safe folks
xx
 
Really bored of the rubbish sleeping now and looking forward to the weather breaking and giving some much needed respite.
Also pretty bored with the ear infection and resultant tinnitus now as well. I love my music and films and it’s not the same watching them with subtitles on.
Have a GP’s appointment tomorrow where he’ll look in my ear (presumably to see if he can see straight through to the other side!) and get a decent idea of what’s going on.
Balcony plants are seriously suffering in the heat too. Even the olive tree is not coping well. I’m going to repurpose some bin bags as jackets for the pots so that I can fill the bags up with water and make sure they don’t run dry. Or that’s the theory. Hanging basket is a mass of crispy plants so that’s in need of replacing. Oddly the lavender hasn’t coped at all well so that’s going to be replaced by rosemary I think as that’s likely to do an awful lot better.
The two terracotta troughs are going to become a gravel garden test because, with no outdoor tap and being 100% south facing, it may be wise to adapt planting to be a completely watering free gravel garden. I’ll look at places like Beth Chatto and Harlow Carr for inspiration.

In other matters, no news on the court case but the word is we are expecting an initial response this week. Lawyer suggests it’s going to be pushback against our offer to settle. Collectively we’ve said we’re not budging on the settlement figure and are more than willing to go to court. And nothing yet on the job front. I may chase Ben today about a response but I’m meeting up with him early on Saturday morning for coffee (8am) halfway between our homes so about 90 minutes walking for each of us, and I can ask him then.

Tomorrow I’ll ask the GP about booking in for an HbA1C test as I’ve not had one since Feb and I’d like to know the difference my weight loss has made. Although there’s the possibility of a huge downside of having the test because I’m worried I may slough everything off and revert to old ways if there’s very little difference to show for it. (That said, being aware that there’s a downside and that there’s a risk of reverting to previous behaviours does seem to suggest that I won’t because I’ll be mindful of what’s going in my mouth and how I feel.)

Oh and BG this morning is 5.4! Almost forgot that bit!

Morning campers. 6.5 after a horrible day and night. We are supposed to ‘only’ hit 24°C here today, am hoping that helps and today is a bit more normal. View attachment 15027

We’re expecting to hit 34 degrees again today. With a mere 72% humidity.
