Group 7-day waking average?

It's another cool, grey and blustery Berkshire morning and we have a weather warning for thunderstorms later. Yesterday turned out lovely and I even got a load of washing dry on the line.

Fitted wardrobe guys were finished by 3pm yesterday and what a great job they've done. Our bedroom looks like their showroom. Really pleased with it, and our two chests of drawers match following the paint job my wife did on them.

Our youngest has a job interview via Teams this morning so hopefully that'll go well. Seems to be the norm these days - he's had one already, a few weeks ago - but I don't think it can ever be the same as old-style face-to-face.

Friday is Big Shop day and I might squeeze in a swim as well, having missed out yesterday.

@Sorry @BobbleHat - the DF clearly mixed up our orders:-

First one in 8 weeks. Congrats on yours @MikeyBikey Weekly BP check 119/70, so that's good too.

Enjoy Poet's Day.

Morning folks. 6.7 here.

Friday, yippee!!! Lesson planning and admin, then dinner out this evening. I’m out from Mon to Fri evenings with work, so it’ll be nice to catch up with my husband LOL.

Morning all, 6.2 here. Had a good day out at Blenheim yesterday, the sun broke through at lunchtime. Talking of which, it was a rare pleasure to find a food stall with something I’d actually like to eat, instead of the usual fries and burger stalls aplenty (they were all there too) so I had a spinach and feta filo pastry quiche, with a mound of greek salad.

Spinach and feta is my favourite Greek combo. Yummy.
 
Well done @Martin.A & @MikeyBikey on your HSs. A 5.8 for me today. :D
A quick scan of my e-mails shows that I've already won a Tesco £500 Gift Card and an AA emergency car kit. Keep 'em coming. :thankyou::party:

This week I’ve won a Ninja air fryer, AA emergency car kit, Smeg kettle, some tooks from B&Q. Sainsbury’s is desperate to get in touch with me, I’ve at least four parcels that they haven’t been able to deliver and the payment for Netflix has been declined! :rofl:
Thankfully these emails go straight to junk and gets emptied regularly. 70 in at the moment, better get deleting.
 
Met up with a group of ex colleagues for a meal out last night. I was doing well with the crispy duck and the thinnest wraps you have ever seen but the chicken stir fry was so spicy I had to succumb to some of other half's sticky rice. The service was very slow, met at 7.30 but didn't leave until 10 still we were all chatting with a catch up about sweeping redundancies of senior staff at the Uni and everybody's ailments.
 
Morning everyone, just missed out with a 5.3 today still I’m happy with that. It’s grey and very dark here with heavy rain for later on.

Have a good day everyone and stay well.

I'd have no use for an emergency car kit anyway - I don't have an emergency car.

Yes, it's always great fun getting texts about a parcel you didn't order or bank details from a bank you don't have an account with! At least those are easy to ignore. I guess the danger is where you are actually waiting for a parcel and the message can seem genuine. Lucky for me I rarely order stuff online.
 
Afternoon - don't know where the morning has gone. So have the clear blue skies I woke up to.

7.1 first thing. Between roughly 2 am and 4.45 am I was apparently hypo. I didn't hear the alarm from the PDM (which is not very loud) until I woke to go to the bathroom at 4:30. At which point I ate 3 Dextro tabs and a ginger cookie. I'm very unimpressed with this HCL, I had better control when I was in charge! No appointment with the DSN until 6 November when I hope I can get some help.

Congratulations to @Martin.A and @MikeyBikey on your HSs.

Have a good day all...
 
Might I suggest that if anyone was going to order anything online from a previously unknown source they check it out on Trustpilot first. I was unable to get a replacement wig from my usual supplier due to a supply problem at the manufacturer in Germany. So I did a search and bought what sounded like an ideal replacement from a UK company. I wish I had looked at Trustpilot. It turned out the people were a bunch of Chinese scammers who sent an object that bore no resemblance to that I ordered. It's completely unwearable and though their website says they accept returns they will not give me an address to return it to. Looks like I am £92 down. Buyer beware!

... and yes @eggyg we also have a group of friends with whom we talk about health! Or lack of it!
