Group 7-day waking average?

Robin said:
Morning all, 5.7 here. Another day of opening doors, windows, closing curtains, reversing the process as the sun moves round, and still the house is boiling.
Do any of you watch those house makeover programmes, where they always end up with open plan and bifold doors into the garden? At the end, there’s never a speck of dust, a leaf, or an insect inside. We have French windows in our kitchen, with a honeysuckle on the wall outside. Honeysuckle had really bad blackfly and is dropping all its leaves. Any waft of breeze at all blows said leaves all over the kitchen floor, plus sundry insects seem to want to explore inside, and every single spider in the neighbourhood seems to have made a home in the corners of every room.
I suppose when the heatwave is over I shall have to do some proper housework, but at the moment, it’s a quick sweep up every evening, and let the spiders get on with it.

Same here Robin. I have every upstairs windows open and my patio doors open all day. Window sills full of dead flies, dead rose petals keep fluttering into the kitchen and adhering themselves to the slate tiles. We’ve friends popping round for an aperitif before we go out tonight. Better get some cleaning done!
 
Good morning everyone. First day of the summer holidays and i've had a short lie in. After a major battle yesterday to keep levels up and stop hypos i ended up having a spike overnight which needed a correction 🙄 . Sometimes you just can't win.
This morning its back down to 4.8 so hope its not another day like yesterday. Definitely the heat i think.
Have a good day, whatever you are doing.
 
Morning

5.8 for me

Dull but very hot already, will throw a window open shortly xx
 
My reading earlier was 5.6. 🙂
Congratulations @mage 1 on the House Special.
And it's good to see @KookyCat (the author/inventor of the above phrase) popping back in. 🙂

Stay as cool as you can everyone. 😱

Late posting this morning, been out walking on thr beach for 2 hours.

5.0 on the nose.

Oddly I am sleeping really well even though it is very hot here
 
7.2 here this morning for me but I had a split sleep last night. Had a few hours before midnight and then ended up mucking out stables at 3am (horses come into the stable during the heat of the day and seem to leave more mess than they do in winter) and then going for a pre dawn walk afterwards which was lovely. Cool, quiet and peaceful! Got home at 5am and then had a hot chocolate before heading to bed for another few hours kip.

@mage 1 Congratulations on your second House Special in a row. Wonder if you can make it the elusive HS hat trick??

@Michael12421 Great reading this morning/ Hope Missy is feeling better.

@Flower Ouch! Not a pleasant way to start the day, especially with your compromised mobility. Hope you are feeling better now too.

@Lanny My tastes changed when I cut sugar out and now I enjoy sour tastes. This morning so far I have had a mixture of balsamic and Apple Cider Vinegar in water with psyllium and chia seeds, then a few forkfuls of raw kimchi and then my creamy natural Greek yoghurt with stewed rhubarb although it was a toss up between the rhubarb and the stewed gooseberries which I had last night with cream and they were almost "eye wateringly" tart but so yummy!
 
The wife took the baby down stairs this morning so I had a lie in. A 4.6 at 07:54 this beautiful sunny West Berkshire morning
 
Evening all. Melting today and the storm came just in time, torrential now and a tad cooler. 🙂 7.0 @ 8.14 this morning.
 
04:36 BS 6.3 🙂 That’s more like!:D BOY! It was even more humid, sticky & tough to sleep last night!😱 Again I was awake for hours & caved into the temptation of the other half packet of 4 caramel squares: gave it an extra +2 of 14 units; seemed to have got it right this time, more or less!🙄 Just as well it’s finished now, though & I enjoyed it!😛😉 Unfortunately no breaking of the hot weather here yet & it’s getting to the point where THAT is needed!😱

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

The Olympics start this week & coverage of the opening ceremony starts at 11:20 on BBC1 with it starting at 12:00. I wasn’t sure if it had been cancelled & was thinking of the poor athletes that had already put in 4 years, 5 now, of hard work to have to work on for another 4 if it was! Now, I know it is going ahead albeit with less athletes, some testing positive & not able to go, will be kind of like the boycotted games of 1984, the 1st games I saw as a teen, & 1980, which passed me by as I wasn’t yet aware then, with some unexpected surprises of some who might not have won otherwise? 🙄
 
5.6 at 06:00.
 
Good morning it’s 6.3 from me

looking forward to the weekend
Have a great day everybody !
 
I could not think how to summarise, but the funeral went well. My SIL’s husband was buried in Ballyclare in the morning, followed in the afternoon by a service in the Bangor West Presbyterian church. No wake of any sort due to Covid regs, but we went, five of us, to the Clandeboye Lodge for a meal. My SIL now needs to reorganise for life on her own.
 
6.9 for me today. My BIL has now been admitted to hospital with Covid, 12 days on and he is still testing positive. He has clots in his lungs which is not good, so worried about him and his partner also has it but not so bad and nothing we can do to help.
New boiler being fitted today.
@HenryBennett glad all went well x
@Northerner congrats on your HS.
Have a good day all x
 
Morning peeps - 5.9 today
