Group 7-day waking average?

Twas a 6.8 for me this morning.Just got out of eye screening.. bright sunshine struggling to see with this sun shine and eye drops they put in. Called into Costa for a coffee . Didn't get feet seen to ad podiatrist went home this morning. Congratulations to @ Bobblehat on another Hs Some people are just greedy Enjoy your day folks
 
7.1 for me. Was going to post yesterday but I completely forgot again. My wife says she's thinking of going to Slimming World, so I said I might join her for a spell (I must be mad).
 
Afternoon,

Didn’t get a chance to post this morning, been out to the London Transport Museum at The Depot at Acton, had a lovely time.

Morning reading was 12, got a text to say my prescription is in, so that is a relief.

Today is my granddaughter’s birthday and she is now a teenager, makes me feel old now.

Looks like a repeat of yesterday weatherwise - a cool, grey and blustery start but wall-to-wall sunshine this afternoon and mid-20s. Woken at 05:47 by a loud jet going over but fortunately it was just the one, so my fears that we might be on the Heathrow flight path again were unfounded. Dozed off again and got up at my usual 7am. 5.5 when I tested.

Fitted wardrobe guys are here and there's lots of banging and drilling going on upstairs. We were told they'd be here at 9, they turned up at 08:12. Fortunately we'd cleared the bedroom by then. I usually swim on a Thursday but with my wife and our eldest in their offices today I might have to give it a miss, unless the guys are done by lunchtime.

Out of interest @ColinUK why did you pay for your flu jab? Diabetes is one of the medical conditions that qualifies for a freebie.

Congrats @BobbleHat on your double HS. Looking forward to tomorrow to see if you can make it a Hat Trick (I've managed it once in 5 1/2 years)

Whatever your plans, have a good day.

Didn't realise! I've always paid for it. I'll mention it to the DN when I see her on Monday to ask that I'm "put on the list" for next year and see what she says.

Edit: Looked on Patient Access who have an eligibility checker and it's clear that I am entitled to a free jab. They say that it's available from Oct 3rd so I'm a couple of weeks ahead of the pack in return for shelling out £9. I'll make a note in my calendar for next year that I'm entitled to a free shot though.

I’m glad someone reminded you we should get the flu jab FOC I’ve had it at various supermarket pharmacy’s in the past, and as I’m diabetic they’ve always just asked me to fill out a disclaimer name of surgery etc then I’ve not paid, but my wife always pays pays for hers

In the past couple of years I've got it at a local pharmacy after being invited for a COVID vaccine. No form to fill in: I just turned up at the right time, said who I am, and they say they'll give me a flu vaccine too if I want.

This year my GP surgery beat the NHS slightly (and are also offering both on the same day) so I'm going for that next month.
 
Good morning my Friday folks. These weeks fly in. 5.8 and a fairly flattish flatfish.

Busy day ahead, BT are coming again to, hopefully, sort out the broadband. Two daughters and three grandchildren for lunch. But first, mother in law’s Wiltshire Farm Food delivery to take in and deliver to her. Then tonight we have a surprise Ruby Wedding Anniversary party to attend. So no doubt it’ll be the dreaded beige buffet and a lot of guesstimating! Never mind, it’s one day, and it’ll be nice to see some old friends and probably have a boogie!

@freesia take care and big hugs.
@MikeyBikey congratulations on the HS.

Have a good day. Sun still shining up here for the next couple of days then it’s back to the rain on Monday. :(
 
Morning all. 7.9 which I'm very pleased with. I was just under 10 daily last week so did low carb till it went a bit down again. Had trouble with blurry eyes and feeling dire so no choice. I miss bread and chips.
 
Good morning. 6.5

Managed to get final garden/house tidy done as well as admiring the drone, quite a nifty expensive one. It seems that flying it at Libby's home requires ATC approval, as near Aberporth, but mine does not. She is working her way through a course of training as she also has to have a licence. So I shall be seeing a bit more of her and the calm and sensible Dave who is her tutor. She is apparently doing much better since she has had her cataracts done!

Peachy is a bit more comfortable (although still complaining about the diet).

Hope everyone has a lovely Friday - it's a bit chilly and grey here. Keep your fingers crossed that these cash buyers love the place. I liked the last people but I would like to avoid a chain.
 
5.3!

Opera today. Eugine Onegin. I’m expecting tall sailing ships aplenty.
 
Morning all, 6.2 here. Had a good day out at Blenheim yesterday, the sun broke through at lunchtime. Talking of which, it was a rare pleasure to find a food stall with something I’d actually like to eat, instead of the usual fries and burger stalls aplenty (they were all there too) so I had a spinach and feta filo pastry quiche, with a mound of greek salad.

Morning all 6.5 today.
Went to Guitar Heroes at the local theatre last night after a visit to the Harvester. I was quite good...🙄 Guitar Heroes were epic!
