Week 51 of 2024



I had a good night slept straight through again, it isn’t hot yet, but it is somewhat sticky.

It is 21 degrees at 6am and my BGL is 4.4

Did a small load of washing and Tim hung it outside to dry.

Tim has taken Jess and Sam up to the square to do some shopping, Jess didn’t want to deal with the parking issue.

It got up to 30 degrees today, I have done all the Christmas cards will post the last of them tomorrow.

I had a good night slept straight through again, and yet again it is a somewhat sticky morning.

It is 23 degrees my BGL was 5.5, it got to a bloody hot 33 degrees here, I even had to turn the bedroom air con on to help cool the house down.

I managed to walk down and post the last of the Christmas cards, now watch me receive cards from people I didn’t send one to.

Steps:6,107

I had a good night slept straight through yet again, it is a pleasant 20 degrees but we ae in for a scorcher supposed to get to 36 degrees, my BGL was 6.5, why so high I do not know

I just went to pick up my glass for a drink and knocked it over, all cleaned up know.

The temp did get to 36 around 2pm I turned the air con in the bedroom on as well.

Tim home early, his bus broke down and screwed up his day.

I told Sue that she wants on Christmas Day she can come and have lunch with me and Tim, she said she will see how she feels on the day.

I am having trouble sleeping so I got up at 10.30pm and will now go back to bed it is now midnight.

Steps: 8,105

After I went back to bed, I slept well till 5am. It is a much cooler morning then yesterday, only supposed to get a top of 22 degrees today. It is currently 20 degrees, with a cool breeze blowing through the house.

My BGL is 5.1

Today is the last day of school for the year, it is raining so I have to wear my rain poncho.

I can’t decide what I want for lunch but since it is Wednesday, I will wait and see if Tim asks me to order pizza. He did so good thing I waited.

Steps: 5,149            

I had a good night, up dressed and looking forward to the day. It is a nice 18 degrees and my BGL was 4.9.

Sue took me to the plaza so I could get a few things. On the way home we stopped at Sandy’s to pick up a couple of empty containers of Sue’s. Sue asked if she had heard about the test results and since Sandy didn’t want me to know about the tests, she got pissy and cracked the shits.

Sue let me know Sandy said sorry for getting the shits and all is ok between them. 

Tim is off today but he is going to the works Christmas drinks, Gary next door drove him.

Tim has set up the new TV, with help from Sam.

I have been in a lot of pain all day.

Sandy came over to see me this evening she walked here with Josh as her bodyguard, Josh is Temika’s boyfriend. She explained about the tests she had done last week.

Steps 5,820

I had a good night, up dressed and looking forward to the day. It is a nice 16 degrees and my BGL was 4.9.

Sue called and I gave her money from Tim she was really touched that he gave her money, he did this as she is always driving me around for appointments and shopping.

Tim is working tonight, he will leave around 4pm and should be home around 10pm

It has been a nice day, I received a couple of packages, that should be all.

Sue rang me this afternoon telling me that lunch at Dave’s is tomorrow not Sunday both me and Sue said he told us the 22nd he said he thought Saturday was the 22nd

This has upset me as Tim is working tomorrow and will not be able to attend.

I did an online order from Liquorland, Sue will pick it up for me as the only store that had all I wanted in stock is the one just down from her place.

Tim home early, he walked in a t 8pm 2hrs earlier than expected.

Steps:4,980

I had a good night, up dressed and looking forward to the day. It is a nice 14 degrees and my BGL was 4.9.

Sue drove me over to Dave’s for lunch, it was a nice outing lunch was nice and Dave and Leigh gave me a $50 gift card and Sue gave me a new top, a diary a small calendar and an ice towel to have around my neck on hot days. I really like the ice towel it does feel nice around my neck.

It has been a really hot day with a temp of 34 degrees Celsius or 93 degrees Fahrenheit.

Steps:1,555

  1. The one thing to stand out to me was, "Liquorland". We don't have such cool names here....

    1. Liquorland is just one of our liquor sellers, we have also BWS which stands for bear, wine & spirits, Dan Murphy's, Bottlemart and just plain old Bottlo as well as some smaller stores

  2. After reading that Sandy “cracked the shits” I had to stop and think what that meant. If I’m remembering right, it means she was in a bad mood or something like that. To me it’s a funny expression!

    Sounds like you received some nice gifts. I like those cooling towels. There’s these little fans you wear around your neck, I’d like to get before our summer next year.

  3. It sounds like your had a very active week, Jo-Anne. It's a brain-train for me to remember that as we in the States are going into winter, our friends in Australia are warming up by the day. Just keep the air conditioners on! Blessings!

  4. I have an "ice" scarf I wear. They work really well in the heat. It's weird that you are in the heat while we are in the cold. I can't believe there's barely a week left in the year.

  5. I hope her tests went well. Never heard of "cracked the shits"--lol! Also never heard of an ice scarf. Our ice is outside right now--lol! And snow. We should have a white Christmas. Makes me happy. I can't imagine Christmas with temps in the 90s!

    1. Sometimes I forget that not all countries have the same sayings like "cracked the shits" which means to be in a foul mood over something said or done. The ice towel/scarf is wonderful I really like it. I can't imagine a cold snowy Christmas but where I live it never snows.
