I bet my glycogen got well topped up last night with an FBG of 6.9 this morning:)

Coffee in Cambridge first thing, church, then a full on day with Wimbledon men's final and Euro 16 final....and to top it all, Yvonne is entirely happy with it:).

I think I'm surfacing after the manic and emotional student end of term. I've another few days to go before I finish for the summer, but I could quite happily finish now! Two naps yesterday is seriously unusual for me these days and it's the first day since January I've not been out further than half an hour's tackling of an over grown corner of the back garden..

I am impressed that a little relaxing of the dietary and walking regime over the last week has not had horrendous effects. Will be back on track again with it all after the weekend and more normal routines are back in place. I was meant to be going for a long group walk this afternoon, but a combination of end of term slump, the tennis and the horrible grey skies are conspiring to make me think the sofa is a much better option.

You forgot about the F1 at Silverstone - I wonder if Lewis Hamilton can repeat his 2014 win...?

Certainly sounds good to me. My feet are on fire after walking Nina.
Sounds lime your body is ready for a good rest to recharge the batteries. Wimbledon Men's Final is only once a year so relax and enjoy.

Ooh that's not good Ron. No available alternative to the Nadal spray? Daft question, you'll already have looked into it. Is the spray doing you good, in the nose dept at least?
 
@Stallen - Just wondered how you are? Hope your sutured areas have healed brilliantly and you are back in good health, but still taking things easy. :)

15 to 1. It has reruns occasionally on challenge.
That's impressive @Cumberland . Some contestants were very intelligent. Intimidated me anyway. You were probables one of them.
Do you sink the chase questions?
Whats your favourite quizz show?

Hi vicki

I was very nervous on 15 to 1 as were a few others

They kept cutting and editing mistakes from the show and there is no studio audience they used a clapping machine

William G Stewart was very stern I got bad vibes from him to be honest

They record 3 shows a day I got my expenses paid and put up overnight in a plush London hotel as I was travelling from Cumbria

On one of the questions he asked me
'Ian, mathematics' I completely panicked never paid any attention to the question that followed and just shook my head

I scored 32 points in the final the guy who won that show made the grand final of the series he knew his stuff

I went to pieces in the final totally

I like a lot of quiz shows but dare not apply for anymore, I switch between Pointless and The Chase pity they clash

At least you aren't suffering the bg problems for nothing. Count the days down to the end of the fortnight....

Then he could end up with another problem. The neurologist might decide to put Ron on a course of more steroids for his hip and back problem . If that ends up being the case , its not going to help with his eye problems having high BG levels . He's going to be in a no win situation.

Oh, dear. Didn't realise steroids was an option for that. If it's nerve pain Gabapentin or pregabalin (think there a bit of a difference) might be an option ...
