Morning! Slept in spectacularly because I’m making the most of it still being school holidays. Woke at 5 with the high alarm, bunged in 2.5u and woke just now at 4.3, so at least my DP ratios still work.

V quiet day “planned” as am knackered after yesterday and we’re away overnight tomorrow too. Last hurrah before the new term starts! First time being away since I got my Omnipod, so am a shade nervous for no reason at all. I’ve got a pod change AND a sensor change that night :rolleyes:

Wind the clock back 12 months and I was exhausted from a 3:30am departure from A&E and was in the middle of my first appointment with the diabetes team at Stoke Mandeville. They were all fantastic given my records had gone AWOL and no one knew how much insulin I'd had!

I was so relieved to finally have the correct diagnosis that it took a fair while to sink in that this wasn't going to "get better".

I've one of me with a 'Phil Oakley' style, circa '81 or 82 human league style, it's half a pic really as I photo shopped the girl out stood next to me, with scissors as we didn't really have Photoshop back then :p

Sat with a 3.6 and eating a slice of wholemeal bread and tuna, I've done the same as yesterday morning but spiked high yesterday and down today :) grrrr but that's not unusual, 3 houses to clean in my street then up to mothers for some more clearing, another missed swim this aft but I may get to the gym.
 
I was a clean cut vicar’s daughter in my teens. Nothing to see here, move along.

5.2, just had an avocado and bleached the black mound off my bedroom blackout blind. It’s currently drying in the garden following a good rinse, expect to hear much swearing on a few hours time when I attempt to reinstall it single handed...
 
I enjoyed punk, in 1976, it was quite fun, and I listened to John Peel, bought Anarchy in the UK, and went to see the Clash, but I'm just a few years older than Cumberland, so I found Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, and Television, more interesting, because they were a little bit more grown up, and these small things matter when you're young. I also bought "Blood on the tracks", and went to see "The Last Waltz" and found myself interested in that outlaw country music, and of course John Peel didn't play music like that, so it was fun for a little while, especially when so many people were listening to Yes. It was a fun reaction against that, but Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and the Band kept calling me, away..........

Well done @Robinredbreast - as one door closes another one opens. When do you start?
 
I am also of a certain age, and punk was OK, basically just a fast shorter angry version of rock music. I was into heavy rock during late 70's and all of 80's. By now thought I would have mellowed somewhat, maybe a a bit of AOR, but no still love my hard rock, Purple, Sabbath, Budgie, UFO, Saxon etc. In fact going to see Saxon in October.

Old rockers dont die, just lose most of their hair and grow ever larger beer bellies
