Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning all. All the fives, 5.5. A very pleasing number, hopefully I don’t have to wait an hour, or longer before I can eat breakfast!

Yesterday was a pleasant day. After a lazy morning we had a walk down to our local river, which is two minutes away, to see if the sand martins were back. Didn’t spot them straight away and it seemed like there was only one nest hole in the river bank. Then all of a sudden they appeared, swooping and soaring. What a fab sight, unfortunately too quick for the camera, I’ve never captured them yet. But on the way back home we could hear a curlew, looked up and it was giving chase to a buzzard. Managed to snap a photo, it’s just their silhouettes but you can see the curlews long beak.

Had a lovely lamb roast dinner and settled down to watch the final episode of Ripley on Netflix, anyone else watching? If not, please do. It’s one of the best things on TV I’ve seen. It’s all shot in black and white, in Italy of course which is wonderful to see, and it’s fantastic. It’s hard to explain the visual impact so give it a go if you can.

Today, is ironing day, trying to keep up with the laundry as we go away the end of next week and we have a very busy week coming up. We’re actually out three evenings, one is babysitting but it’s from 5pm ‘til late. We bought youngest and husband tickets for a comedy show for their Christmas present, it’s the first time they’ve been out since Eden was born, and they’re having a meal before they go. Us and Zara are having a chippy tea!

Have a Happy Monday.

I watched every episode of Ripley in a day. It was brilliant. I loved all the stairs!

You’d have calves of steel if you lived in some of those places. I’ve been to Rome and walked up the Spanish Steps in 40c! Never again. Also been to the Almalfi Coast where Atrani was set and it is very steep. It made me want to visit Italy again.
 
An embarrassing 8.4 this morning for me! Looking back I’ve been hopeless over this holiday, but not going to let it spoil my time away here in Australia!

Last day on Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays, off to Brisbane tomorrow. As well as cockatoos, there are also wallabies wandering around the apartment grounds (and elsewhere on the island) :

Had our last drive around the island in the golf buggy before handing it back in, now relaxing in the apartment before contemplating packing up the suitcases ready for tomorrow’s flight.

Take care everyone!
 
Morning all. 6.2
 
Morning everyone, it’s a happy 6.5 for me on a very damp morning.

Have a nice day everyone and stay well.

Morning all and 6.3 for me.

Kept waking up with sneezing fits during the night but feel ok this morning.

Dank and grey outside. I was worried that the weather might be improving but panic over.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all, 4.2 this morning what a difference a day makes from blazing sun yesterday to dull cold and raining, hubby was going to clean the car today doubt if that will happen now, Libre decide to throw a wobble again it was 4 out 4.2 finger prick Libre said 8.2 have a good day everyone
 
No blue sky and sunshine this morning, just 10/10ths cloud and light rain.

Glad you enjoyed your lamb dinner @eggyg - I enjoyed ours, too. Not a scrap of the slow-cooked lamb left afterwards (well, there were 5 of us) and for the first time I managed to cook the roasted vegetables just right. My food diary says I've averaged 5.7 post-prandial for that meal but I tested out of curiosity just to see if that was still the case and got 5.8, so I wasted a lancet and test strip. Won't bother next time.

Got my invite for a covid booster and booked it for next Thursday. Also got an invite this morning for my annual diabetic review, so need to book that too.

Congrats @MeeTooTeeTo on your HS. Not joining you, I'm afraid - 5.7 this morning.

Have a good start to the week, all.
 
10.4 This morning. They we good from midnight to eight this morning. I had a nasty spike last night after dinner - we had stir-fry (no rice or noodles) and a crust but my BG response was to rise from 7 to 15.6!

My BG have been relatively high (12 - 14) for a few days and nights, even though I've had extra bolus and low-carb meals. They only dropped to 6.7 yesterday afternoon. I hadn't been having noticeably higher carb than usual.
