Woke up to 5,9 mmol (107ng) this morning. After going to bed at 5,7 mmol (102mg) last night I was hoping to see my first sub 100 mg fasting count but this does not really spoil my mood.
Last night was a friend's birthday, an old classmates and honestly I can not remember when I last had such a good time - and all without driving a drop of alcohol.
We were invited to their summer house, an old stone built affair in a sleepy village up in the mountains about a forty five minutes drive away from Nicosia. The village's current population is nine people!
Roofs of the village
Growing vines like this provided fruit and plenty of summer shade for this house's veranda
Stairway to heaven
These old super-sized earthen jars were used to store wine or olive oil. Now used decoratively only
The house
Being greeted by Leyla the dog
Old traditional oven in the yard
Cherry tomatoes freshly picked off the plant, they smelled and tasted amazing
The amazingly colorful spread of food on offer. Unfortunately most of it off limits but definetely not all!
Barbecue grilled haloumi cheese, lovely
Plenty of barbecued meat to satisfy the most carnivorous amongst us
But what made the night really special was the music, my friend and his cousin play the guitar and we were treated to a five our live show of unplugged Greek songs. All the old classics, most of them written before I was born but still extremely popular. I am not known for my singing voice but this was about having fun, not a talent show, so I happily joined in with the singing.
The home-made chocolate cake looked amazing but I sadly I had to give it a miss along with the garden grown figs.
