Group 7-day waking average?

Congrats @HenryBennett on the HS. 🙂
4.3 for me today.
It's too wet and windy to go walking and wandering in the woods - so it's on my exercise bike today.
Stay safe and 6 ft apart.

Morning all, 6.7 here. Six of us from our exercise class are having a meet up for a socially distanced work out in a garden today, as the church hall where we normally hold it hasn’t reopened yet. Despite my best intentions I haven’t been keeping up with the stomach crunches, so this could be mildly embarrassing (though I expect everyone else will be the same)

Good luck, the only crunches I ever partake in need at least 3 units of NovoRapid! 😛
 
Morning, 6.7 today, off to Sainsbury’s soon. Still having problems with my glasses so if no better tomorrow will ring the opticians as you can’t just turn up.
My colleague who has been off for 18 weeks has apparently decided to retire, let’s see how the surgery deal with that, I’m not holding my breath.
@HenryBennett congrats on the HS.
Have a good day all x

2 of Bruce's workmates are leaving, well one has finished already (the one he went to visit on Wednesday) and the other finishes in November I think (the one who gave him a lift to visit lol) and one of the bosses got in touch with him at like 6am yesterday morning and they are wanting holidays back from the remaining staff so Bruce isn't too happy about that xx

Car service and MOT today, hopefully not an arm and a leg.

It took me a while when we moved to NI a few years ago to get to grips with the MOT system here. There are no licensed testing stations, only a limited number of government run ones. You drive your car or motorbike through so they can check suspension, brakes, lights etc. On a motorbike you have to contend with the rolling road for brake tests.

Here‘s hoping it gets through.

Maybe it’s not just Specsavers? Then again....
I think because they can’t, or don’t want to, get too close and personal they can’t fit and adjust the frames properly. Mine were slipping down my nose in a few minutes, which means with varifocals you’re rarely in the sweet spot. With a better fit I’m ok.
 
Morning all. 7.8 @ 8.11am.

I'm supposed to go Specsavers next week for D review, but think I'll put it off for a bit. I've to get Mum there too for her check up. It's all too much to think about. Have a good day all, bit nippy here.

Yes mine are falling forwards but I had an op on the bridge of my nose so there’s always a problem. I think my eyes are adjusting but there is a mark on the frames that I think is supposed to be part of pattern but there is only the one bit and so it looks like a mark, aesthetically I’m not happy. To be fair Boots have always been extremely good since I’ve been with them so hopefully will get it sorted without a problem, fingers crossed.

Hope he gets things sorted but they seem to have you over a barrel in all ways. I shall wait and see if they say they will advertise for someone new, if not we will definitely be having more words as my patience is running out and I know my colleagues will as well, we can’t possibly sustain the level we are working at without mistakes happening which would be a very bad thing due to the nature of the job. I’ll keep you posted x
 
@SueEK I think he's already given them 4 days back but he wants from the 23rd December off straight through until the 4th January, he shouldv'e been off from I think the 20th December, he's had his holidays booked since January so not best pleased, they'll need to get 2 folk in ASAP and its a qualified blaster thats left and the qualified painter thats leaving, Bruce can blast here and there but the hose is pretty heavy etc so he may not manage much with his wrist being weaker now xx

That wouldn’t be good, is there an OT connected to his company that can say if he’s fit enough to do those things? He doesn’t want to make it worse or give him a permanent weakness in his wrist.

I don't know, they have a health and safety guy but not sure how far his duties extend, he's not due back until the 10th October I think anyway so sure they will have something sorted by then xx
