    No Swipey this morning as it finished and I had a 7am (!) MRI scan this morning... that didn't stop me from trying to scan it this morning though. So... Egyptian lodger has declined the £50 rent increase and will be leaving instead. All pretty amicable - he actually was going to ask me if I...

    06:02 6.3 ➡️ Monday's carbs: 119 Been a bit of a hectic weekend. So on Friday - I DID sign the new guy with a discount for a testimonial that can be made available on my website (reminds me I must do that for our next session). We had our first working session and it ended up being more like an...

    I am very relieved you are not a frozen snow-woman. Witch hazel is amazing stuff! Painkillers are probably better tho'. Our soft southern snow ran away at the first sight of rain.

    Early mornings this week are beginning to grind. 05:41 6.1 ➡️ Wednesday's Carbs: 131g - in the green zone. An unexpected day off from the golf club thanks to the flurry of snow - today is a playing/practice day with a friend who has just become a grandma for the first time. Spent most of...

    Played in the golf comp yesterday and we got in just as the first flurry of snows came in. One of the women at the club mis-entered her details so I had to wait until today when the handicap and comps secretary sorted out the mess and... I WON! It was a lovely round with two better players by...

    Carb Range: 76-133-191 Monday's Carbs: 109 05:36 6.3 ➡️ Think I might add the carbs from the day before in the range in which I am working to (TDEE based on weight and activity) - yesterday was a decent day! Long and tiring shift at the golf club. First time closing and heart sank as I saw one...

    Was up stupidly early yesterday (4:36am 6.4 ↗️) and in order to get my treadmill in before a shift at the golf club it's another early swipe. 05:08am 6.3 ➡️ Not bad considering I went from golf shift to BBC shift and then devoured a Thai takeaway when we finally got released after the F1...

    05:16am 6.4 ↗️ - got up to answer the call of nature and figured out that I may as well stay awake! Watched Elvis last night - typical Baz Luhrmann theatricals but I did enjoy the little snippets of songs arranged in a minor key - think Austin Butler didn't quite capture Elvis in his declining...

    Another stupidly early wake-up with a headache to boot. Worrying moments after updating iPhone - wouldn't scan the Libre until a couple of reboots and this morning was playing silly beggars again ... Anyhoo: 5:10am 6.2 ➡️ Golf at Sandown Park was windy and uninspiring - it was their Par 3...

    OK so let's get into some kind of routine then. FBG 6.6 ➡️ at the pleasant time of 5:15am thanks to a police heli-chopper whizzing around the area searching for who knows what/who. So I did my sometimes-daily Wordle, Quordle and Heardle 80s. Wordle and Quordle were good. I am a disgrace to my...

    I remember during that pandemic when everyone was loading up on rice and pasta - I had my pick of cauliflowers and cabbage and stuff I needed for most of my diabetic diet needs. I actually posted in NextDoor that I must be the only person in town who didn't give a ... Castlemaine XXXX (there's...

    Oh god - my mind has been a dark and horrible place in this 8-week long Blue January! I blame finally succumbing to the signs I had probably been ignoring since 2019 and admitting that I was actually menopausal. Since getting the gel and tablets a lot of the crippling brain fog has gone, and I...

    Thank you. I might only be able to dip in first thing in the mornings and then get on with the grind of trying to develop a side hustle as a copywriter, try and find more freelance or even permanent work, yada yada. When can I retire? Oh when I am 100? ok. *Actually I think I get my IBM pension...

    Greetings - I know I have been sporadic. Anxiety is a strange beast and the last two months have been very up and down for me BUT - I managed to keep a Libre sensor on for a month without knocking it off, ripping it off in my thrashy sleep, and... by and large it worked! So maybe I feel ready to...

    FBG: 7.3 just before 5am Have to do grown up things like company admin and self assessment and even though it feels like I am flogging a dead horse (actually work up after dreaming I had been cut as a freelancer), I will message the scheduler (and try and call yet again) to say I can help with...

    When I was diagnosed my bloods were astronomically high, as was my cholesterol and blood pressure - what seemed good for one was disastrous for another. My cousin suggested tackling the worst first - and rather than going “cold Turkey” to look into the Glycemic Index and move from high GI foods...
