Your morning sounds lovely - great idea with the clotted cream, did it go all oily in the coffee though?
Hope tomorrow’s fbg is as good as today’s after another ‘good for the soul day

I was really surprised that it didn't go oily in the coffee. It was actually really good. Fingers crossed for another good fbs.

Most welcome, Po.

And that is a CRACKING picture...so crisp.

Well done on the merging (?) And the patience to do it.
Certainly paid off.
 

Some awesome pics, @poemagraphic .

Probably above my skill set
( and patience, if I'm honest..) but i shall read up later on the magic involved...thanks for the post
 

I hope they will be, and have no scars physical or emotional. Hugs to you all.

Thanks Saskia. Im sure the girls will be fine, I think my daughter will be the worst affected - she’ll feel the guilt forever even though she couldn’t have known it would happen.
 
Good morning everyone

5.9 last night after a light dinner of salad.

After a decent night’s rest this morning i was pleasantly surprised with 5.7 at 6:00 am when some dawn phenomenon was probably on.

It was a long day at work and quite tiring. I am so looking forward to the weekend already .. and it is just Tuesday. On the positive side, with Ramadhan around the corner, Jakarta is beginning to feel a bit festive...

Gd day everyone

That's right, she could not have. I hope she won't feel guilt forever. We are hardest on ourselves, for some reason.
 
11.1 at 5am

Disappointed with these higher readings I am getting in a morning. But I didn’t sleep
properly last night. I was waking up every half hour or so. I didn’t want a repetition of the herd of elephants trampling all over me, from the night before.

>^..^<
 
Morning all. The paint home mix didn't go well. Hammerite and Lidl plus No. 3 thinners produced a grey with black settling out after 15 mins. Won't risk using it. Next effort is to buy some Hammerite silver and attempt to darken it with a few drops of Hammerite black. The genuine OEM paint is £25 a tin. In case you didn't know, B.O.A.T stands for "Bring out another thousand".

FBG 7.7 mmo/lt, Might have forgotten my meds yesterday. Oh yes, weight now down 16lbs since March 1st.

Have a good day everyone.
 

Not good all round. Condolences to your family and hope that they will all be OK.
 
A very good question @poemagraphic. Whoever gets to the bottom of why blood glucose readings do what they do should receive a Nobel prize. Just when you think things are nicely settled you get a rogue set of figures.
After a day of salad and ham at lunch and fish and cauli cheese for dinner ( all home made) only had water to drink. My reading at bed time was 7. I got up this morning to 6.1 compared to a usual 4.8 to 5.2. Absolutely no idea why I feel fine.
I had the misguided motion that I was in charge of my body - obviously not my inner self must have been partying hard yesterday. The least it could have done was send me an invite to join in the fun!!
Have a good day
 
So yesterday had such a lovely relaxing and tranquil day at Sheringham Park walking through the Rhodedendroms. Carbs 22g. Blood sugars in the 4s and 5s all day - even after eating. 4.8 before bed. All perfect.

Went to bed and suddenly remembered that I have retinal screening at the hospital. My relaxed and tranquil state shattered - couldn't sleep for ages. 6.1 this morning. So @ianpspurs I do think that you were right when you saw a link between my lower fbs and level of tranquillity. Definitely something to work on.
