Group 7-day waking average?

Afternoon all - sunny but with some black clouds in parts.

8.4 this morning when I woke at 10:20. Had a very late night last night and ate all manner of things that I had to guess at, including lemon tart.

Not doing much today, have just had potato wedges, ham and egg for lunch as I was starving. Cooking Hunter's pie later - that's venison mince cottage pie, with mashed celeriac topping.

@Pattidevans Doxy’s one powerful antibiotic. I’ve been on it a while now (approaching the end of 12 weeks) but it’s cleared up my skin issues pretty much totally. It can wreck your gut biome though so I suggest looking at a decent probiotic (I opted for Bio-kult Boosted).

Do you mind me asking where you get that @ColinUK ?

@rayray119 congratulations on getting the job.

Have a good day all.
 
Hi everyone! 6'2 this morning.

Worrying about DVLA stuff, I updated the relevant thread. Also in the overthinking menu today is another interesting job offer, where the application requires writing a supporting statement. It is related to diabetes research so I will shamelessly use my own diabetes to justify my interest, which is actually true (if that works against me in the selection, I clearly wouldn't want to work for them).

Another situation at work where I thought a supervisor should go mind her own business. Different supervisor than the Diet Coke. This time was because she said something about tomorrow and I clarified I am actually not working. She said "WTF" and shouted at the top supervisor "why you give Elena off tomorrow??". She asked if I would like to come for an extra shift and I said no, I have plans. She started questioning me on this. "Come on, no one has plans on a Sunday morning!" (???) And later "What plan is it, a date? No one is getting up early on a Sunday for a date!" And "But you will be so bored, nothing to do in the morning, you will even miss the job..." I pointed out if I didn't have plans I would not be missing the work either because I would be sleeping until mid shift! She was all laugh and jokes but I still got irritated. Because she called me a liar, and because she is nobody to tell me what to do with my time off.

Sorry I'm ranting so much lately. I prefer to keep a positive tone, just some times people make it harder! To end with a nice thing, they've reopened one of my favourite cafes and I am currently sitting by the window, getting the sunshine in after a naughty but very enjoyable cake.

The situation at work sounds familiar. Full of idiots the work place, sorry. I've got numerous stories. The thing about people who need to mind their own business, they don't like it when you do the same to them. But then people like this make the rest of us look good. Just sayin'.
 
@Pattidevans the bio-kult? I got it from Boots.

It’s available direct as well.

Good morning everyone

BG 5.1

The practice at the church, last night, went well but was the strangest practice I have ever been to. One of the new singers forgot the practice but did turn up later on after being contacted ... with her three young, excitable, active children who became a constant distraction! Having said that the practice went well.

After the service, at home, I ate a whole large Cadburys Easter egg! I shouldn't be allowed near them. I enjoyed it tho and, thankfully, it did not seem to affect me negatively. An occassional treat (my excuse)?

Today, playing at the service this morning which I am looking forward to, a walk later on this afternoon which I am looking forward to, a cheese and tomato pizza for tea (well, part of one) which I am looking forward to, a rest this evening which I am looking forward to. But the day started all wrong as I got up really late at 5:45am, whoops, but I was tired last night.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing.
 
Bonjour mes amis! Le scores sur le doors pour moi cette matin est sept point zero. Un Len Goodman.
 
10.7 this morning, waking up in a motorway travelodge halfway home as would have been too tired for it all in one go. My dad yesterday evening managed to flip his car through a hedge and land upside down in a field with him suspended by the seatbelt. Not sure how he managed this in a 30 zone, haven’t asked that yet. Hes okay thankfully though I’ll be driving slowly and carefully today.
 
Good morning all. 6.4. When I picked up my phone to check I just had a blank from about 2am. Must have lost signal through the night, scanned and it filled it up, nothing odd happened it was boringly straight as a die.

Nice bright but cold morning, Skiddaw is looking resplendent with her snowy hat on. I couldn’t see it yesterday it was so cloudy, but I know the Lake District has had quite the snow dump. I won’t be flocking there though to climb a fell though, my back hasn’t recovered from being in the snow in Coniston in December!

No plans again. Mr Eggy will be in his greenhouse, got the electricity in, shelves finished, last of the painting inside done and yesterday he got a heated mat for his seedlings, which are currently germinating on my south facing dining room window, new pots, cloche etc etc. he’s like a kid in a sweetie shop! I might see him again at harvest time! 😛

@ColinUK trés bon!
@Elenka_HM good luck with the job application, do you want me to come and give your colleague a slap on your behalf? I worked in catering for many years when my girls were little, unsocial hours, low pay, hard physical work for no thanks, and pillocks running the show! PS pillocks is definitely a derogatory term!

Have a smashing Sunday.
 
5.9 for me.
 
Morning

A whopping 7.3 this morning, but did eat some very naughty things at my friend’s baby shower which went well. Also slightly tight chested and a sore throat so maybe coming down with something.

@rayray119 - congratulations on the new job

@Elenka_HM - good luck with your job application

@Lucyr - sorry to hear about your dad’s accident, relieved to hear he is ok.

Not actually raining today, going for a walk and coffee in a little with one friend, it was the other ones baby shower yesterday, her sister and a friend flew over from Dublin as a surprise, and have to leave at 11am for the airport this morning.
 
A 5.1 for me today. 🙂

5.4 on this cold and frosty Berkshire morning, though the sun is out now and the cars are slowly de-icing. I'll give it a few more minutes before popping down the road to get a newspaper from the Shell station, as Morrisons won't be opening until 10 with it being a Sunday.

Looks like it's going to be a dry day here with no rain in the forecast so plan on getting some garden maintenance done, carrying on from where I left off last week before the weather put the dampers on it (literally).

Linked up with the family in NZ on WhatsApp earlier, as usual. They'd just got back from an all-day coach trip and were waiting for their pizza order to be delivered. I had no idea Domino's operated in NZ.

Enjoy your Sunday.
