Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. I think my weekend of indulgences is catching up with me. Woken to an 8.0. Ooops.
 
A disappointing 6.3 here today, going to do a bit of gardening and have a relax as no entertaining today. I think after 3 days of cooking for family and friends I deserve a kick-back day before work again tomorrow.
 
Morning all. Another fab day. A slighter lower 6.8. Looks like I will be joining a few of you in the garden and like you @Grannylorraine I’m looking forward to not having to entertain and/or feed anyone today ( I hope!) Have a good day everyone. 🙂

It is lovely seeing everyone. But I do it at Christmas and Easter so would be nice for someone else to do it just one day, but I suppose that is the joy of being parents and grandparents, plus I am sure I would moan if I had no family or friends to entertain, but I am a woman so I will moan anyway
 
Good morning 10.2 @ 07:00, down to 5.9 now.🙂 While the rest of the country is bathing in sunshine, we have wall to wall cloud cover.:(

5.8 here. Off to see a neurologist and expecting clarity? Not lost your sense of humour then, @mikeyB 🙂. Good luck mate.

Good luck to you both.🙂

Enjoy the rest of the holiday folks.🙂
 
05:04 BS 7.0. Could be worse as I’m EXTREMELY upset, kicking myself & feeling like an idiot!😡

I actually got up just before 4 am & switched on my just over 4 years & 4 month old MacBook Pro when all of a sudden it froze, it’s been doing that a lot lately & I thought the computer is nearing it’s end so, I kept it backed up regularly on an external hard drive. It then restarted on it’s own & kept freezing after start up & restarting again & again. Something was definitely wrong so, I manually switched off during the freezing phase after start up & before it tried to restart again. Used disk recovery to check the computer to see if it can be repaired: no had to erase. I did that & THEN, my still tired, shocked brain made a MASSIVE mistake! I connected my external hard drive with my Time Machine back ups & used Restore from disk utilities on the external hard drive to restore my back up! BIG, BIG mistake as that’s tantamount to erasing it! Too late, I realised I should have quit disk utilities first then chose Restore from Time Machine backup. I did that & discovered there were no backups as I’d erased them!😱:(😡

That’s 20 years of stuff since 1999 I’ve accumulated & moved from various Apple computers! I have some stuff on various usb thumb drives but, the majority of stuff is gone! All my iTunes purchases can still be downloaded again, just tedious, but, all the personal stuff like photos are gone!:(

I’m now in the process of re installing Mac OS so, the computer can be used again but, all the stuff is gone! I’ve had a few crashes over the years & lost some stuff but, NEVER on such a huge scale! It’s all because I’m still not that familiar with restoring from Time Machine as I’d only done it once before with instructions via online Apple Store chat! I thought I remembered how to do it again & I’m kicking myself for not going online via my iPad to the Apple Store team again for instructions!😡

It’s a very bad start to the day for me!:(

I hope things are MUCH better for everyone else!🙄🙂

I’m trying to console myself by telling myself it’s only “stuff” I’ve lost & how much of it did I even looked at recently! But, it’s still sinking in!🙄:(

Really sorry to hear this @Lanny :( Hope you manage to retrieve the most important stuff from your USBs.
 
Just up & running on the clean MacBook Pro & things aren't quite as bad as I thought as quite a lot of stuff is backed up to iCloud automatically for use across the Apple devices of iPhone & iPad like keychains for passwords etc, calendars, contacts & photos, hooray! 🙂

It's like a brand new computer, almost for me to fill up with new stuff! Except that it's on it's last legs as this crash proved & I won't be using it much as I REALLY can't afford a new computer right now!🙄

If it's just the drive that's failing could you not just replace that?.
 
Morning all.🙂 6.5 here.😛

PHEW!!! @Lanny.

All this clearing is revealing a bigger garden than we thought...we’ve certainly got our money’s worth, eek!😱:D
 
Morning all, 6.4 here. Needed a couple of jelly babies at 3am, did another long walk yesterday. Didn’t meet another soul on foot, just a couple of cyclists photographing the ancient standing stone...against which they’d propped their bikes!
