Happy Easter all! Tucking into my second Lindt bunny of the day already (they’re the tiny ones, but I’d happily do the same with the big ones given half a chance)
 
Afternoon chaps, Happy Easter to those who celebrate it :)

Not much to report here, had a good night's sleep with no glucose alarms, so I'll count that as a win, as I had a rather massive lasagne for dinner with a few more carbs than I usually eat. Only 20, but still double my usual.

Made a low carb hot atheist bun for lunch, my usual lc bread recipe (2tbsp almond flour, 1tbsp psyllium husk powder, 2 eggs, 1/2tsp baking powder, pinch nutritional yeast - microwaved for 2.5 mins) with the addition of a teaspoon of mixed fruit chopped finely, erythritol sweetener and ground cinnamon and cloves. Then toasted and served with goat butter :) 12g carbs and really good.
 
Hello friends,

Happy easter! Morrisons donated their Easter eggs to my work place so I got a cheeky Easter egg. BG stayed stable last night, 6.8. We are going to dig into some ramen and hopefully go out. We haven’t been to our supermarkets for over a month, so I hope we are able to get some bits.

I made a mug cake yesterday with coke and I thought it tasted nasty because I didn’t put in as much sugar as the recipe. But bf thought it was edible and wondered where we got cake
 
I was about to say Good Morning, but it's not! I have just had a nap, though, to recover from the shock of an old recording of Songs of Praise which features Yours Truly hidden in the congregation having been shown today. I was also up very early and treated myself to a cooked breakfast which I don't think I've had on a Sunday since about 2008. (A year I went to a church who did an early Easter service which finished with the most amazing cooked breakfast.)

Hope everyone's having a good day.
 
Good afternoon & happy Easter :) been cycling again and had half a nest cake thingy my daughter had forgotten to take with her as my bloods were starting drop when I got home, bit of a bonus really :) :) I'd ridden 18.5 miles and did the same yesterday, I'm weighing up whether to get a carry out from the local Indian take away or cook a chicken omelette and the carry out's winning right now.

Edit, the carry out won.

Id have gone for the carry out too
 
Middle of the night here and I'm wide awake.
Sounds like there was a lot of good munching going on yesterday.
Madam BG is being tolerable at the moment but I'm not counting on a 5 badge tomorrow

Wide awake here too. Not diabetes related, been steady in the fives all night. Brain just won’t shut up.
 
Nothing worse than a brain that wont shut up @LooperCat. I regularly wake at 6am and the minute I surface my brain goes into overdrive. I long ago gave up trying to turnover and go back to sleep.
 
Morning all, my brain shut down completely last night (though it sometimes feels as if it's doing that during the day right now!) but woke up early to very high winds - I knew it was meant to be windier, but not this strong. I set up a very small agility course in the garden for my dog yesterday; she hasn't quite got the hang of it yet and the wind'll put paid to some of it today.

@SueJB hope you got some decent sleep in the end

@LooperCat likewise to you; hope whatever it was keeping you awake is manageable. I keep thinking about you and all your colleagues and the work you're doing. For me, the biggest spur to staying home is the thought that any of you might end up having to look after me if I don't. Please take care.
 
Good morning all. I like the sound of the wind in the trees while I’m safe and warm indoors, as long as it’s not strong enough to cause damage, so I didn’t mind being woken by it last night. Maybe it’s filling the input hole that’s been underused since semi-isolation began. Out to do another bluebell search tomorrow.
A lovely 5.4 on waking after an uneventful night.
Rearranging the agility course with you might be just the challenge your young dog will enjoy @hh1, even if you don’t.
Stay safe @LooperCat.
Have a good day everyone. Is there any chocolate left? I had an entire small caramel filled egg for desert yesterday, I enjoyed it but the last mouthful was just a little over-sugary sickly: shows what 50 years of limitation does to the tastebuds. 52 years ago I could eat a whole bar of the stuff with relish.
 
Morning all!

It was ridiculously cold and windy but sunny when I set off for a walk before the rest of the world emerged. Fly-tipping has been happening at the disused garages at the back of my house - which I was expecting as the Usual Suspects were busy in houses/gardens yesterday, generously sharing their music with us all. (Which would've been very pleasant if we'd shared tastes in music.) and I'd been aware of activity up and down the alleyway the past two nights. Photos were taken (which was my other reason for getting going early as I'd tried when it started, but was thwarted by the presence of Local Youth were hanging about the other end of the garages area which doesn't get the fly-tipping any more as there's now a gate that end) and reporting about to happen. Signs deeply. I can't even mutter my usual "If you've got the energy to get it out there why can't you get it all to the tip?" because they are all currently closed.

Anyway, I've just put all my current outdoor clothes and various bags in the hot wash, pondering getting to the front garden for a bit more activity as it's garden bin day tomorrow. (I remembered!) This is after I knocked down an undesirably high waking number to a more reasonable one after the walk. I really do need those two or three walks a day rather than one decent one but am looking on all this as practice for getting ratios better tuned for inactive days.

I've got some musical plans... it's kind of my own fault for producing some sing-a-long Easter Hymns videos for those of my church who can access social media and who are missing their singing. Oops...
