So why is 43 better seemingly than 42?

Don't think 43 is better than 42 - it is the rate of increase that they are concerned with!  Don't know the time gap between blood tests but going up by only 1 over a period of time is hardly a rapid increase and probably manageable.

Seem completely to have missed this week - probably because it's been far too hot for me most of the time. Surfacing at last now it's a bit cooler - even did a bit of most essential ironing, but not more than that.
Really not wanted to ease up on things like distancing or masks, and certainly no wish to go cavorting in enclosed spaces. Oh dear, the world is still mad.

43 is not better than 42, but at 42 I got leaflets pamphlets and information about  being at risk etc ,a letter about a Help Line re raised blood sugar levels and times of a clinic.
Then along came Covid.
.My point was ,a little higher by 1 and it is considered normal , that  is daft
surely !
I will speak to my Dr.,the above “ normal” came from the receptionist.

Over 18 months since last blood sugar level test.

Have been reading the diary each day but have literally done nothing worth commenting on.

Was supposed to have visited my nephew and family on Thursday but due to the heat (I live in an upstairs flat which is like an oven when it is hot) had virtually no sleep and felt most lethargic all day.  I decided it was best to cancel and now going next Wednesday.

We pray for nice weather and when we eventually get some it always ends up too hot.

I for one will still be carrying out the safety precautions done since 1st lockdown last March i.e. mask, sanitising.   Read this week that the majority of all the new cases were of people in their 20's which is what I suspected.  A couple of items I really wanted weren't available when I did my grocery order for Friday so late in the evening (when I deemed it would be quieter) I drove to my nearest supermarket.   Thankfully, it was indeed quieter but there were quite a lot of youngsters there and over half of them weren't wearing masks!  I was appalled! 

One of our flats is tenanted by a Romanian couple and toddler daughter.   Told by another neighbour that the guy had been quite vocal stating COVID was just a hoax!!   Anyway, around 3 months ago I saw a car come for them and off the 3 of them went with lots of luggage.   We have not seen them since!    I emailed the owner of the flat to see if he knew what the situation was but he knows nothing.   Was not aware that they have not been there for 3 months because they have still been paying their rent.   I'm assuming they won't be allowed back in the UK unless they are vaccinated.

Aside from this, my life plods on as usual (well, as usual as it has been since March 2020).

Hope Roobarb is feeling better now and Caroline's OH gets his malady sorted sooner rather than later.

I went to the supermarket yesterday afternoon.  Thankfully, there didn't appear to be a shortage of food but there was a noticeable shortage of staff.  So it took longer for queues to get through.
I am guessing this may be due to the pingdemic, perhaps?
Regarding people who believe the hoax idea, I wonder if for some, this whole thing feels too scary and the mind can't face reality.  There has been too much evidence world wide for this to be any hoax.
I haven't been able to go to Church today as the online booking was full.  Hopefully next time, I might be more fortunate.  I have heard that they are hoping to gradually increase numbers allowed in.
Thanks, Mowsehowse I have had some rest on my time off but there always seems so much to catch up on.  I will swing back onto day shifts this week so will have to be up at the crack of dawn tomorrow.  I hope you have had a good weekend too.
I hope you continue feel better each day Roobarb.  I am sure that we have all appreciated that you have been popping in to let us know you are okay.  Very kind of you as you will not have been feeling 100%.
Caroline, I continue to hope that things will take a turn for the better for your husband. It must be very hard on him and you for this situation to have kept dragging on.
Take care everyone - I wonder what this week will bring?

Thanks everyone, I'm slowly improving. My cough is much better, still have no sense of taste and smell and no appetite but I'm eating things that look nice and will nourish me. Today I've been able to increase my moving about, have to keep taking rests but it's definitely an improvement.

Good to read all your news, stay safe.  :-*

Glad things are improving but you still sound very fragile.
My friend from girlhood days ,(whose hubby did top kitchen cupboards mahogany bottom ones light  oak ) was hoping to see her first son and family  fromCumbria,but he is president of the Rugby Club and although they met outside - presumably other officials - he has tested positive !
Feels like an aching cotton wool filled head and tired and dizzy .

Hope you continue to progress Roobarb ,and everyone else who is not in the best of health , get well soon .
Viktoria.
