Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 5.5 here, normal service resumed. I went high and stayed high all yesterday, then crashed into hypoland mid afternoon, shot up to the teens after evening meal, I know it was a risotto, but I have them regularly and they’re usually Ok, (I make them meat and veg heavy and light on the rice). I've never seen such a steep line up from 4 to 14, despite 5 units of Novorapid on board, and I was still 10 at bedtime. Decided on an extra unit of overnight levemir, rather than a correction dose, and my trace stilll swooshed downwards about midnight, then crawled along the bottom for a few hours, and then rose to a decent figure. Don’t know what brought that on! Hoping for calmer waters today.
Have you invited the DF to stay. I thought she had been safely buried by @Northerner
I hope today is a better one. Did you get out today to proudly wear your new hat. Looks fabulous.
 
Very late checking in today. A dusting of snow on the car, and a bit left on the pond, but still no snow. An unexplainable 8.6 this morning with a big rise at 6:00. Looked bald and there has a been a lip there before but no obvious pattern. DF obviously in the west of the country for a while.

Off for our walk well wrapped up and wishing I could find my bobble hat. Hood will suffice.
 
Afternoon all, a nice 6.4 this morning, a bit of a bumpy line all night, I had 100g of roast potatoes with dinner last night so I'm sure that was the reason, but they are hard to resist, we had snow all day yesterday and there's about 8-10 inches out there now and its -5 but a nice bright day.
 
Late today but it’s a 5.9!!!

@ColinUK Five were a ‘slam dunk’ of a band!!
@Anitram i was always Babs from Pans People, we used to go to Beverley Mitchard’s house on a Thursday night and reproduce the dance routines in her living room! She was posh as her Dad owned the butchers and she wore mohair jumpers from Marks and Spencer!!!

I may be showing my age but does anyone else remember the time when a "band" was a group of people who played instruments not a group of people who sang and danced? 🙂

Well, I was thinking of taking it up with @Northerner, because he did assure us that she was safely buried, but I’m hoping it was just a quick visit here on her way to the West Country.🙄😉
Son is home, as he has an appointment at the local dentist, and is bubbled with us, so he is working from our home at the mo, and has threatened a power walk with me when he finishes, so the bobble hat might get its maiden outing later.
 
G'day all. 7.4 @ 8.16am on this jubilant day coz Mum's had her jab. Got to have the second one in three months. Feel better already.
 
Wow! @Freddie1966 Congratulations for yesterday and today! A hat trick would be an amazing achievement if you can wrangle it, especially for a Type 1.
Go for it Freddie!!. We may need to see some evidence tomorrow if you do achieve it though! 😉
