Hi@ziggy_w
It would be wonderful to get a good nights sleep but cold or no cold I rarely do sleep well, can't see much chance at moment sleeping propped up has I can't breathe with this cold. I suffer all year rhinitis anyway but not been has bad this year for some reason and another, but nose and airways blocked I've used my sea spray but not helping has yet. Will probably get mid week before I'm feeling something like. But thank you for the crossed fingers. K

The sea spray does take a while to clear you out. At first I was using it 3-4 times a day. Now very rarely. Just when I feel bungled up. Hope you're better soon.
 
good morning all :)

5.0 today

a little bit higher than usual for me but I was awake a couple of hours earlier and lay dozing and then forgot and drank some of a cup of tea before testing :( so I'm putting it down to that though I had a bit more protein yesterday than usual ;) (Yummy roast pork!)

I'm trying to tweak my food intake up a bit now I'm getting to a reasonable weight and balancing things is a bit of a task isn't it after having a very good idea of exactly what I could/would eat to have a small calorie deficit?

Balancing things for the long term is the new task :) looking in the mirror and seeing myself half the size I was is still a bit of a surprise some days :happy:

Weather dark and gloomy here too though sun did break through briefly this morningn long enough for me to shot this photo. The dramatically lid landscapes (the back garden in this case) against broody skies are amongst my favorite photos.

Hope you are better soon @

Kathleen me darlin' you were right when you said I was nesh. I just couldn't go through with it. The dutiful diabetic does not take chances with their feet. With this in mind my doggie went completely nude and I went out in only a pair of leopard skin print carpet slippers. My podiatrist will love me forever more :)

My wife has just pulled back the curtains. Its dull very cloudy and most likely cold. And I have the family car pool ( four cars ) to wash this morning.

Please ensure that you wear rubber gloves. If not the skin on your fingers will go really wrinkly with all the soap and water. That will really ruin your blood testing finger :)

Your numbers look good compared to mine,geefull.....I've reached my target weight,so have been tweaking the carbs to see how things go.My morning readings are a wee bit high,so I'll have a re think............. I still look in the mirror and wonder who this little granny is with the white hair.She reminds me of my mother when she was an old lady.It can't be me because in my head I'm in my thirties!;)

Hi Kathleen

My only contribution to the Christmas decorations was taking the photographs.

It's a bit embarrassing to admit but we pay for someone to come and decorate our trees. My wife and I both work long hours and have neither the time or the patience to do this ourselves.

Yes, we have two Christmas trees the more formal one in the front room and more fun one for the living room.

My wife has some funny ideas sometimes.

But I have to admit the house does look spectacular over Christmas.

But for me right now is too soon to be drowning in Christmas spirit
