Group 7-day waking average?

Morning everyone. It was a 4.7 for me earlier this foggy morning.
 
You guys are all living in the wrong place! We are still on a roll the weather here with clear, fine days and even a bit of winter sun showing it's face every now and then. Glorious for this time of year!
 
5.7 this morning.

Bit of a disturbed night, I checked my BG in the middle of the night to find that the Libre sensor had given up the ghost. Had the “Replace sensor” message. Really annoying as this was my first night with Abasaglar and I particularly wanted to see the graph overnight onwards. So, new sensor at 3am and a wait until 4am to get a reading. During this time I did the Abbott online sensor form and got an email off this this morning to say they are sending a replacement - can’t grumble at that for service! Graph is looking good so far, I’ll be really interested in how it looks over the evening which is when the Levemir started fading for me.

Booked our flights for our cruise in February. Haven’t flight prices gone up a lot? I guess we’re booking fairly close to the trip though, but managed to find a cheap flight with good times from Gatwick on Norse Atlantic - even buying extra legroom seats on each flight it’s around £500 cheaper than flying from Birmingham (our nearest airport) and is direct too - flights from Birmingham all involved a stop. Even with the taxi down to Gatwick it will be cheaper than flying from here. Need to book hotels now for before and after the cruise, we’re staying for another week after the cruise to get some winter warmth!

Take care everyone!

We’re very fortunate that my wife’s niece is Cruise Director on the new Royal Caribbean ship Utopia of the Seas (so an opportunity to sample cruising, which we’ve never done, for basically just the cost of the flights), we’re on two mini cruises back to back for a week total to the Bahamas from Port Canaveral (so flying into Orlando). Haven’t planned where we’ll stay after the cruise, but will definitely stay in Florida somewhere.

I used to spend half my life in Nassau and Freeport Bahamas. Back in those days the area of the Nassau resort was quite small, the beaches were glorious white sand and you could have a good night out in the Casino, including a show, for little cost. In fact, it was where I met my husband. Although Julian and I were on the same crew and working together in F/C we passengered out to Nassau via Miami and I didn't get into conversation with him until we met up in the coffee shop of the Nassau Beach Hotel. That was 18 March 1983. Time has flown since then.

I do hope you have a lovely cruise and get some much needed sun!
 
A very early Sunday good morning. 4.9.

Been awake since just after 4am, got a pain in the back of my skull, on the right hand side. I suspect it’s my neck as it was achy and stiff last night before bed. Not sure why. But I can’t sleep for it so here I am. Nothing pressing today, just our usual lazy Sunday, with a visit to MIL thrown in.

Went to eldest daughter’s yesterday and Mr Eggy and grandson put up granddaughter’s new trampoline. She was very excited and said it was her “best birthday present EVER”. All she wants to do on her actual birthday tomorrow is, “go shopping ( her Christmas money is burning a hole in her pocket) and to MacDonalds”, she’s easy pleased.

Have a great day all.
 
Good morning, 6.4 here. Off to work in a minute. I've tried a small extra dose of abasaglar this morning to see if it helps with my BGs on work days. I thought it was worth a try.
Have a good day everyone.
