Ohh, that’s really nice, eating fish & chips with a view like that! I remember eating a huge slice of herb & cheese pizza, from a street vendor, on the banks of the Grand Canal in Venice with the setting sun glinting off the roof tops during the solar eclipse of 1999! 😎 Of course I wasn’t diabetic then & don’t eat pizza now!

It’s good you managed to laugh after your “oopsie” moment! I’m always walking into wall corners & knocking my arms on door frames etc. It’s a good thing I live in a bunalow with no stairs! :D

01/06/18
06:10 BS 10.7. Was awake for over an hour. 6 units of Novorapid.
06:40 Breakfast:- 2 poached eggs, 2 sausages cookstown, 100g baked beans heinz & bottled water. 09:50 BS 11.8.

12:26 BS 11.1. 4 units Novorapid 29 units Levemir & all other meds. Lunch:- 2 servings of my veg soup. 14:14 BS 9.2.

15:39 BS 7.7. A bit early to inject insulin again so, made dinner first! Still a wee bit early but, only by 20 mins.
16:00 4 units Novorapid Dinner:- 2 cheese, ham & mustard sandwiches, 2 cups tea ( 1 each twinings honey camomile & buttermint in teapot) & 80ml longlife almond milk. CAN drink this without honey & extra milk! 18:12 BS 6.9 just after bath. Borderline but, seems ok judging by the last few days! If awake, I’ll check again after Novorapid has gone!

A VERY sticky & humid day! The forecast thunder storm never came! I wish it would come to clear the air & cool things down!

After the meltingly hot walk for ice cream the other day, I took taxis to & from the town as I couldn’t face a round trip of 7000 steps. My techno phobe brother gave me cash yesterday so, I put it into my bank account & electronically transferred it to my sister’s account! 🙄

Technology is in the realm of mainly the young! I wonder when it surpasses me too? :confused:

I just went to the bank & back without much walking at 10:00. Was out for less than an hour & was dripping with sweat when I got back! The thunder storm was forecast for midday! Fred comes to mind again! :D

The clouds gathered all day & still, as yet, no storm! Grr! 😡

Oh, yes! Went to the post office first to post my iPhone in for a replacement battery! It’s about 3 years old & recently has switched off unexpectedly 4 times when there was plenty of power left. Battery health says the battery can only retain 80% of its original charge & needs servicing! :confused:

I backed everything up, erased it & sent it off as instructed! I looked up support on the Apple online store, where I bought it, was surprised at the reasonable, for Apple, price of replacing the battery: good news! Bad news; will take 6 to 10 days! Eek! :(

Yikes, I’m going to be without my iPhone for 10 days! But, something HAD to be done as I don’t want to lose everything because of a failing battery!

A much better & stable day for me BS wise, just left it a bit long after waking to test & have insulin! Will see what a lower starting point, I hope, will do tommorrow? 🙂

Ah, @Vince_UK , NOW I get to see what you eat when your at home in the UK! 🙂

I’ve noticed you love tomatoes! You would get on great with my dad! I hate tomatoes & my mum didn’t like them either! So, my dad didn’t get to eat them much as my mum did the cooking for him! He had to settle for getting cans of heinz tomato soup, in the UK & campbells in HK. Incidentally, Campbells soups is very popular in HK with a much wider range of flavours that I’ve never seen here! My dad just boils the kettle, dumps the concentrate in a bowl & slowly add the boiled water until it reaches the consistency & flavour he wants without any cooking! Just as well as he’s been slowly going blind for over a decade now & dosen’t have much central vision so, dosen’t cook!
 
Sorry to hear that about your Dad @Lanny
I do like tomatoes but the vine variety or piccolo ones.
My UK diet is decidedly less interesting than my Shanghai one and I miss that very much when I am back home..
I love tomato soup also but it is quite high in carbs so sadly I avoid it these days.

Vince, I was waiting in anticipation for your return home meal of fish and chips, mushy peas, a couple of buttered stotties and a mountain of Moser Roth (with a Greggs steak bake for a snack!) :D Oh and washed down with some Newky Brown! 🙂
