HMMM 90%? not confessed to trying one of those but might be a little to bitter for my tastes. Saying that I think anything would struggle in those heats your experiencing @kitedoc and although last summer here in the UK it was hot, nowhere near those in your neck of the woods, for the first time I really struggled in the heat and found it uncomfortable.

Well its Friday and looking at that picture from @karen8967 if that's her first thing in the morning it must have been one hell of a party the night before .

hey knikki thats me every morning

@Robinredbreast . TGIF????????? ***. It’s nice to have you bring class to this sometimes rowdy thread.

Blood pressure excellent, weight stable, (but needs to come down a bit) Hba1c not my best but definitely not my worst by any standard and clear confirmation in my mind of the ways forward for me on the food front.

Poor new, young registrar not ready for me. In any sense of the word. I tried to behave, honestly, but when I've made sure I'm there in plenty of time for everything to be done, ready with all the information to hand, having downloaded my meter data, in the middle of my working day, at the end of a hell-ish week...

Oh well, it's Friday, I've walked off most of my frustration now and am ready to fight again. My lovely T2 student was most interested in my colour coded spreadsheet printout of the last 4 years worth of blood sugars and sympathised about the blood-letting bruise.

And I’ve recently had a post moderated for mention the G word, TGIF!

I’ve not managed to balance/time my bolus for risotto - currently feeling low.........off to do some blood letting......

.......2.7!

@slip. Makes my 4.9 seem hyper.
Problem here is I just don’t feel in the slightest bit peckish.
Wife just offered her last Jacobs cream cracker. Guess I’ll be waking around 16+ in the morning.
Take care bro.

Today I have discovered the hard way that a red novopen echo matches the upholstery on a LNER train. Well, I think the pen is there, sitting on the seat where I was.

Lost property form sent off in case, backup pen reclaimed from cupboard...

Like wise! Fortunately the daughters early morning football match has been cancelled so easy Saturday morning now planned.

@evilclive . What an absolute pain . So so annoying.
Only once mislaid my pen. Returned to cafe where I knew it was to find the staff looking baffled and trying to figure out what it was. A quick explanation but they were none the wiser.

Goodnight everyone sleep well

Night chaps

Not sure what it says about your explanation or their comprehension...........!

Night all

Goodnight friends

Went to the gym early this morning, now my glutes hurt. Stairs should be interesting tomorrow.

Morning! Have been awake since 5am not happy. Have been catching up on threads far and wide. @therower am a little confused after reading the soapbox thread by @helensaramay. How do you post a winner/agree? Can only see an icon for like. I post from my I Pad.

Hi @karen8967, I have had my 3 cuppas, but about 12 hours ago !!
That it all to report , except for your summer and winter diaries, if you ever have a bar of melted chocolate due to the ambient temperature, think twice about putting it in the fridge. My 90% cocoa Lindt chock bar set like rock.
Might need to get the hammer and chisel out !! Eye protection in place first of course.

Gooood morning Diabetnam!

Got a nice surprise in the post just now. A wireless adaptor sent for gratis from Roche for my Mobile meter.
Lol, I ordered it months ago & forgot since the advent of using the Libre.
