Group 7-day waking average?

5.3 today after having had the worst day yesterday with the gastroparesis. Still not good but much better than yesterday.
 
4.8 this morning.🙂
We're back to the cold frosty mornings here - but the sky is beautifully clear and blue. :D

Stay safe and well.

Morning all, 8.4 for me today. Day off work today, it's a mad house in work at the mo.
 
How awful for you Michael, maybe have to get the old Green Goddess videos out! Does anyone remember her from back in the day?
I don't but I believe she was going to be on BBC Breakfast this morning, the only fitness person I have recollection of is Mr Motivator! xx

You won’t have even been a twinkle in your daddy’s eye when the Green Goddess ruled the morning TV schedule. She’s 80 now I believe, I bet she’s still glamorous.
 
6.1 for me today. Sitting here physically shaking with fear, I mean it is not like it isn't affecting most of the world. Mum and dad got moved yesterday, so going to hope them unpack while we are all symptom free, I asked my dad if he wanted me to go round, but they have spend the last 3 days with me and we are all high risk, so his view is be high risk together.

@Hazel congrats on your HS.

I remember the green goddes, and one channel had a lady called Lizzie, once upon a time I had all their videos. I do have a Joe Wicks dvd which I have done once in 3 years, and a couple of dance ones made by some of the strictly dancers.
 
Good morning folks . Woke to 5.0 at 04 00 with a good attempt at a flatfish , hopefully the much increased Basal has defeated the DF’s shenanigans.
for the time being lol

I hope you all h@ve a good day.
The DF is in self-isolation at the moment, but I'm still trying to stop her from projecting her astral self through the ether to create her mischief 😱

I believe it was going to be sitting exercises she'd be showing people on BBC Breakfast but we changed to Channel 4 to catch King Of Queens and now watching Frasier, trying to distance myself from most of the news, hating that Ready Steady Cook has been on early as we miss most of it now while getting on with doing the tea! lol xx
 
Just had an email from my job centre advisor, "with immediate effect, please be advised that all mandatory signing interventions have been suspended, payments will be made as normal, you will be notified once normal signing arrangements have been resumed"

"This means that you should not attend the jobcentre to sign"

Personally think the first part made it clear enough but never mind 🙄

And oddly I’ve received an email from the dwp today asking me to bring in the actual physical sick note from the doctor. Which is bonkers.
 
Spring is sprung! Morning all. 7.6 @ 8.12am today. Stay as well as possible peoples. I'm chirpy because my eggs were delivered as normal via the milkman. I am so glad I have a milkman!
 
Good morning 3.9 today. Yesterday was a bit frightening. I was in the campo walking my dogs when a young man on a motorcycle roared up to me, stopped and started to berate me, left me a bit shaken. I messaged an acquaintance of mine in the village - a fellow dog owner - and asked if there were any official rules about dog walking and she told me that I am not allowed to go far and only until the dogs have defecated and urinated. They can do that in my courtyard, it's lack of exercise that concerns me greatly.
I think sometime in your village is being a bit jobsworth.
We’re encouraged to exercise and walking dogs is exercise. Even if you follow the permitted dog walking structure for France then you were still allowed to walk your dog as long as you stay the required distance from others.

Spain are being pretty stringent though so I do believe Michael's information xx

Scotland and England do seem to be handling things differently xx

I suspect @Michael12421 is more concerned about the lack of exercise for his dogs than himself when they are used to long walks. How on earth do you explain to a dog that you can't walk them as normal?
 
Friends in Swansea are celebrating the fact that their teenagers don’t have to do their GCSEs - apparently, it’s more stressful for mum n dad, so lots of popping corks last night!
Grrrrr. As an examiner who will lose 1000s in income this summer I am definitely not celebrating. Trying to find a positive side to exams being cancelled, not managing it at the moment......

He is in Spain!
 
It is not our Surgery but I noticed when we drove past the Surgery around the corner, that they had what appeared to be a table under a partial opened window. I wondered if the were using to to communicate and hand stuff out or receive things form patients.It is not a Dispensing Surgery so it would not be to give medications.
We were driving to go for a walk over the fields.
Strange, maybe for taking in samples or handing our paper prescriptions. We have a line of chairs in front of reception so people can’t get too close. Have finished now and home for good other than attempting to get some washing powder and carrots tomorrow, then hunker down for the duration I guess.
 
Good day folks 8.3 on another c**p day,:( laundry all done and dried still a bit wobbly after major hypo the other day.🙄 Well its kicking off down here even our caretaker is wearing a mask, I asked him what was wrong with the one he usually wears.😳:D
((((Hugs)))) @KARNAK and @Flower. Hope you’re both feeling ok today.
[/QUOTE

Thanks @Bloden myself and @Flower appreciate your concerns. xxx 🙂

Take care Amanda hope it all settles down soon {{{HUGS}}}.

@Hazel great to hear from you nice HS, Congratulations.🙂

@Michael12421 be careful Spain is being very aggressive at the moment.:(

There's a lot of anxiety on the forum at the moment but if we stick together we will come through this. Just be sensible and do your best, thanks @Northerner for some joviality and a better Avatar, take care my friends lets do this.🙂
