Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

11.1 today

Getting so fed up of c**p with the new house and I'm not even moved in yet! The new gas card with £100 on it still hasn;t arrived and then yesterday Bruce was called by Qapm saying there was something wrong with one of the smoke detectors (shame the WRB guy didn't tell him that when he did the service!) and the toilet rooms sink is leaking when the water is running, Bruce seriously can't take more time off so it'll be getting reported out of hours so it's an emergency, honestly the house should never have been let at the time it was! 😡 xx

Sad news folks. Both Mr Eggy and I failed Wordle this morning. :(

We’re beyond devastated. Our streaks are broken, as are we. #firstworldproblems :rofl:

Thanks for that admission Elaine. Pleased it wasn't just me who failed. I am sure @Robin is going to laud it over us now with a 3 whilst she blemishes Blenheim with her £5 fleece body warmer (It can't be classed as a "gilet" unless you paid at least double that!! 😉 ) .... Will they even allow you into the event? Isn't there a dress code.... especially on dressage day! Not that I am criticizing, as most of my gear comes out of Lidl these days..... just wish they sold long leather riding boots.... my lovely old comfortable ones just died last week (the zip broke and not enough life in them to make replacement an option :()

Edited to add.... Guess who didn't read all the posts before making that comment!! Quite shocked that Robin (and family) didn't get it either but why does it not surprise me that @ColinUK got it in 3 though 🙄 . I was a bit peeved because I actually got it right on the last attempt and then had a rethink before I hit the send and changed it to a more plausible word.

Have real empathy with your plight @Gwynn. Spent a couple of hours yesterday only to find that the code did not work because I had omitted a colon from a quite complicated statement extracting the temperature from the output of a sensor.

For reasons that are too complicated to go into, I am trying to make an ultrasonic tape measure using one of the ultrasonic sensors that are fitted to those doors that open when you approach them. This involved some breadboarding and devising python code on a raspberry pi to read the sensor. Got that done but had the problem that the measurements need to be corrected because the speed of sound is dependent on temperature. So, temperature sensor went onto breadboard and more python code devised to read it. Thats where the missing colon was one of the bugs encountered. Next problem was to integrate the ultrasonic sensor code with the temperature sensor code. That has now been done and debugged and I am now confident that the ceiling is 173 cm from my desk. I have an ultrasonic tape measure with temperature compensation.

Next problem is to make it portable, there is limited fun in measuring the height of your ceiling. First problem is to get it off the breadboard and into a box and second problem is to make it independent of being plugged into the Pi. Got some ideas about that but then I will need to write and debug more software. There is also the problem of figuring out why the ultrasonic sensor coupled to a Pi gives different readings to when it is controlled by an arduino. Makes you wonder how it would behave if controlled by a PI Pico.

Who needs wordle or saduko when you have got a computer.

By the way, got a 7 this morning. I'm wondering if you can take the back off my Accucheck Nano and wire it into a raspberry pi.

Eh? :confused:

I did the same. Thought “ that’s not a word” I had four in the correct place, then went through all the remaining letters and kept pressing until a word, which I have never heard of or seen, announced it was a word but not THE word. Ooh I was mad! 😡

Fasinated by all the comments I decided to have a look and became a Wordle Newbie! Where do you find the answer? I got l the letters bar the middle one and know it is not a V or a T. Lots would fit like G or C?

If you don’t get it it tells you the answer in black letters at the top. It’s a toughie today.
Be careful, it’s very addictive. :rofl:
 
Anyway, it was 7.5 for me this morning and a nice straight line overnight despite a 1.5u Fiasp correction at bedtime when I was 8.1 and a whopping 4 unit increase in Levemir last night. Looks like it was a good decision though and I am back up to 96% in range for the past 7 days with a much better 3% below. Hopefully my previous stats will be long gone before my next consultant appointment and lost in the mists of time. 😳

Car seller last night was "dodgy as owt" (one of those loveable rogues... full of patter! 🙄) but car is good so I have lots of checks to do before I buy it but have left a small deposit with him, which I accept I may lose.
 
Was woken up by low alarm (mines set to 5 while I am still tweaking things) so "fixed" that by getting up and going to the loo which bumped me up enough to snooze some more. Its not often that I am glad of that "perk".
I actually scanned 10 mins before libre alarm and have 0 recollection of doing it.

Anyway got up with a 6.8 🙂

wordle 😡 Had 1 2 4 and 5 in place by 2nd guess and still failed it 🙄
 
@eggyg makes sense to me. Scary that
 
Afternoon all. I overslept this morning but it was 7.6. I'm so glad its Friday, i feel physically and mentally exhausted! Most nights i've just got home from work and sat, in silence.

I managed Wordle in 5. I got 4 greens by the third go but had no idea and just kept picking random letters until i got one that was in the word list. What is it anyway?!

I hope everyone has had a good day.

Assuming everyone who is going to attempt it already has, the word is the American for what I'd call a vegetable peeler.

I hid behind Daughter, who was wearing a slightly more respectable gilet (nowhere near the price of a Schöffel) and a flamboyant fedora. And boy, did we need them, and our windproof coats. It was lovely and warm and sunny….except when you sat in the stand to watch the dressage, where it was in the shade, with a freezing North wind blowing across, We kept having to exit for a coffee and a warm up in the sun!
 
Is there an award for latest waking reading? Sorry i'm late, i was 6.7. Continued the porridge adjustments to mark our move towards winter, same approach as yesterday but obviously completely different results because thats how diabetes works...

Had the GP today. I don't have blood cancer or anything else sinister causing my high white blood cells which was good news. Go back in a couple of weeks so he can check my nerves as life is still just one constant migraine, await advice from the CFS clinic on coping with life better, and book a repeat blood test to keep an eye on iron and white cells every few months.
 
Morning all. 5.9 today. I’m assuming everyone is still snuggled up in bed. 2 degrees this morning and a bit of ground frost! Blimey! I had to put a jacket on yesterday for the first time in months. It was lovely and sunny but a very bitter northerly wind. Resisted flicking on the heating, we don’t want to put it on until we return from our holidays next month, don’t know if we’ll last if this cold weather keeps up.

Going out tonight to an authors’ event. Two of my favourite crime writers, MW Craven ( who is a local lad) and Scottish Noir writer Stuart MacBride. Both discussing their latest books. Should be good fun, both write about quite gory things at times, but with a generous hint of humour and great characters. Looking forward to that. It’s in our Catherdral’s new fratry which I’ve never visited.

Have a good day and put an extra woolly on, step away from the central heating controls! 😉
 
Good morning. New sensor says 8.6, finger prick 7.4. Wordle in 3 today.
