Afternoon!

Thunderstorm just passing through this bit of the world - again. This time currently preventing the second walk of the day as it's a bit too close for comfort to be outside unnecessarily. Yesterday, I was delighted I got all my walking for the day done before it started - the thunder began 5 minutes after I got home. Tomorrow is looking like it will be an energetic housework day in place of walking. Especially if I want to reduce that basal a smidgeon now I'm nearer to "Normal For Japes" walking amounts.

Video calls/student-related work for the week done - it's lovely seeing how they are all beginning to relax into the calls as well as hearing them looking forwards to a September return to college. Here's hoping...

Morning! Misty and damp. DP on the run. Off to do what we now call the lockdown walk shortly. 4 miles over the ever growing wheat fields and through the adjoining village. It is so lovely and rural, but if it was a clear day I could see Leeds city centre from our bedroom window. The best of both worlds, when the world is normal. This afternoon our monthly supermarket order arrives. All that sorting sterilising and quarantining will require a bottle of the included wine when it is done.
Have a good level day all.

My new pancreas arrived this morning! Now I just need to tell it what to do...

 

[Fairygodmother]

Good morning all.
Oh wow, @ArtemisBow, a new baby and a new pancreas too. Lucky woman!

Good morning, wet and miserable out and the bathroom floor boards are nearly as flat as they're going to be, libre said I was hypo waking but a fingerstick said I wasn't

The prescription post box is open again at the dr's so I popped a long repeat list in yesterday having phoned requests in over the lock down so I was pleased about that.

Morning all, seem to be ridiculously busy right now with all kinds of things that have to be done NOW. Some work, some other things I'm involved in, all taking too much sitting down time. And today, when I might've got into the garden for a while, continuous rain. Hey, still, we need it, maybe I'll just have to get off my a**e and do some housework

Have a good day all whatever you're doing

 

[Fairygodmother]

It works, my water butt fix works. I’m ridiculously pleased, just hoping it hasn’t ushered in a long rainy season.

Ordered my monthly Freestyle Libre sensors via the NHS app whilst sat in bed at 7am. 1pm text from chemist-prescription ready for collection. Cannot get better service than that. Well done to our amazing health service.

Good morning Karen, good morning all.
A bit slow and achey today, especially hands and shoulder. Now shall I be all hypochondriacal, or shall I just have another coffee and a slug of water?
Lovely next door neighbour tells me there are this season’s cherries in the shops and she’ll get us some, and I immediately wish grandsons were here so we could set up a cherry stone target in the garden. It’s quite a skill getting distance and direction coordinated.
7.1 on rising, so far three jabs to keep it more or less even, which is just a trifle frustrating as there’s some wholemeal soda bread waiting.
Have a good day all.

Hi all, had an outing to the secure field with friend and her dog - the dogs ran and ran, it was a good temperature for them and the rain held off for a while. Somehow I seem to be drowning in paperwork and I don't want to do any of it. Think I'll just play hookey and go out the garden...

Hope everyone's misbehaving bgs/aches & pains/work you'd rather not be at improve very soon!

Decided to be proactive today and contacted clinic to arrange a phone conversation with a DN. wanted to discuss my on going tiresome issues with Toujeo. Someone rang me within 2 hours and has arranged change to Tresiba. Prescription change should land on the GPs desk sometime next week. If that doesn’t work after a couple of months will then try Levemir. Am pleased I am doing something positive. The constant rises during day but drops overnight are quite frankly exhausting. Having to change doses every couple of weeks just to get decent control, though this week I haven’t been out of range for 3 days now. But that doesn’t really tell the whole picture.

Good morning everyone

A quiet, damp Saturday morning to everyone. Hope we're all well.
Birds are singing and the loft is silent, no radio Oxford through the ceiling, no men talking and no banging. They don't work at the weekend, luxury. I get to sleep in. It will be finished sometime in the next 4 weeks if all goes to plan.
Madam BG is weird and I'm still trying to work out the control.
3.7 on wake up so indulged in 4 cherries, a real treat but 95mins later up to 7.1!!!!!

Be good, I'm trying but often failing
To quote Samuel Johnson, "He who makes a beast of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man". I think Hunter S Thompson nicked this.

That is excellent! I will appreciate seeing the screenshots. Getting the new phone has been unavoidably delayed, though. My husband's health became worse earlier in the week, and then he died yesterday morning (not from Covid). I've been spending time making, and receiving, phone calls to family and friends. Then I will need to find some paperwork.

Thank you so much! I posted the previous reply before I scrolled down to these screenshots. Fingers crossed, that I do not mess things up.
