Group 7-day waking average?

Morning a 6.7 and another nice overnight line and lovely day yesterday with lunch out and meeting friends.
My wife was happy to venture out with dark glasses and is less self conscious about her bruises.Having another lunch out today with son and partner and then deciding to we buy another tree fern to go in the garden.
Have a great Sunday.
 
Good morning everyone

BG 4.8 that's more like it. If I'm going to miss an HS might as well do it in style and be under rather than over.

Practice at the church last night was a bit odd but good. I always go early and set up all the equipment and cabling and test everything. I was also doing the eound until the Pastor arrived who promptly said he didn't know the selected songs and asked me to sing whilst he did the sound desk stuff. I like singing so I was happy to agree. It went well.

Wife seemed happy yesterday but did not go out anywhere.

Today church, a walk, food, rest. I don't think they are doing church food today...

Tonight M&S fish for tea again. I really like it.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Morning all, a 6.3 again today... 3 in a row! Do I get a prize? New batch of sensors start tomorrow, we shall see if the run continues...
Grandson had a wonderful day yesterday whilst I was out Bluebell Railwaying... An animal themed 8th birthday party.
Apparently they bring real animals of varying types
around your house for you to interact with. All very controlled but really great fun it seems! The photo shows one of various 'friends ' who came!
They are off to Harry Potter World today... it sounds expensive :(IMG-20240928-WA0007.jpg
 
Morning folks.

A gentle 6.6 for me today.

Pleased to see this morning that the winter flowers planted yesterday have not been ravaged by the slugs and snails. Yet.
 
Good morning 5.3 today

Have a fabulous day everyone 😎
 
Morning all, 6.1 here. Off to watch daughter riding our pony at the cross country course near the yard. Hope it’s not too muddy underfoot! I’m guessing the water jump will be quite deep, maybe she’d better steer clear of that, the pony's only got little legs.

Good morning. 6.4

Struggling to get a sensible planning history for the Towy Valley place - owner swears it has not got an ag. tag but cannot produce the outline PP. Neither can the wretched local authority! Last night searched the charges register - found an entry for a planning obligation, S.106 agreement, but no text. Oh well, a good excuse to ring my "young solicitor", who first instructed me as a pink faced youth 40 years ago, and see if he can pull it up. I bet my boots it is a restriction on use of the house. If so I shall spit enough feathers to fill a bolster.

Have a peaceful day everyone.
 
A 5.6 for me this morning. 🙂

Bora da. I’ve had a lie in! 6.8 on the meter. I pulled my sensor off with my tee shirt last night! Haven’t done that for years. Luckily it was ending today. I couldn’t be bothered replacing it, I’ll do it after my shower.

Here in lovely Wales. Fabulous coast just over the road. Had a walk last night before tea. 6 miles! It was supposed to be a short circular taking in a lovely quaint village and Caernarfon Airport. Eeeh it was a blooming cold wind but glorious. We just caught the sunset over the sea.
Cottage is lovely, it’s an upside house. The lounge area with a huge picture window is upstairs. Bedrooms, kitchen and a very fabulous bathroom downstairs. Still in bed hoping Mr Eggy will go and switch the oven on for our breakfast!

More walking today I expect but rain forecast and gusty winds forecast. Hat will be on!

Have a fab day.

Good morning 7.4 No excuses - wrong foods yesterday and almost no sleep last night with worrying.

Yesterday's house NBG - most of the 2 acres was shale and concrete - only half an acre of grass on a steep slope. At the price one would have expected Wimbledon quality turf throughout...

Looks as if I need to go to Yorkshire next week to sort out the house in Cousin John's estate. Qute tempted to take my railer and visit the local tip - the professionals want to charge £400 for each skip load and say no sale available for furniture (the latter may be true if they are all rolling in money in the west riding.) Charities gladly come and collect he stuff here for resale or donation to those having nothing on moving into a new home.

Back to rightmove...have a good day everyone.
Look at Criterion Auctions for the furniture. You need to take photos and send them off but they seem to take pretty much everything. What doesn’t sell they donate to charity or destroy/recycle

Bore da Eggys and glad you are booth having a great time.
Your reference to Mr Eggy lighting the oven reminds me of a time I lived in Streatham when we took turns to leap out of bed run down the stairs to put the oven on to warm the flat and then rush back to bed before the icicles formed.
We could have done with Mr Eggy in those days.
 
5.4 on a rather grey but dry Berkshire morning, although it looks like we're in for another soaking tonight. Just waiting for Morrisons to open so I can grab a newspaper and some things for lunch. Our eldest's futsal team have a home fixture today so my wife and I will be heading over to Bradfield College, where they play their home games, to watch that later. KO is at 1 o'clock. No other plans for the day except maybe catch up with the laundry.

Have a good Sunday if you can. There's some horrible weather around, especially in the West Country and Wales if the BBC forecast is to be believed..
 
Morning everyone, it was a 5.4 for me earlier this dry morning.

Have a good day everyone and stay well.

5.9

Ballet yesterday afternoon (Akram Khan’s Giselle - ENB - Saddlers Wells) showed that good things have to come to an end.
It was one of those very rare times that I left in the interval and didn’t bother going back.
I know it’s had critical acclaim but really not my thing at all. Didn’t like the “music” and the plot was so lost.

On the upside though I’ve moved up with my Mounjaro from 2.5mg to 5mg this weekend. I wasn’t certain I was going to move up at I’ve been losing weight but the last week I totally flatlined so thought it was time. Injected late last night instead of very early this morning but weighed myself today. I’m 6.7kg down and have had zero side effects.

As you know I fund this myself but I’ve an appointment with the GP in a couple of weeks to discuss it and make sure he approves etc (he will) and that any additional screening/tests needed will be done. I’m also keen to explore whether the NHS will pick up the scrip as it’s clearly working; not only for weight loss but it’s also noticeably lifted energy, mood and also libido (TMI I know)!

Meanwhile I’ve just cooked my go to chicken breast ‘recipe’ so they’re in the fridge and washing up is done etc so it’s gym time.

(I say ‘recipe’ because it really isn’t. Seasoning of choice into the instant pot. Add cold water so that it’s about 1/2 full. Chicken breasts (straight out of the fridge cold) into the pot so that they’re covered by the water (half covered will do of there’s a lot of them packed in) give them a stir around. Lid on. Vent closed. Pressure cook on high and set the timer to ZERO minutes. Turn off Keep Warm function. Once it’s up to pressure and turned off leave it to naturally vent for 25 minutes.
That’s it. You get the softest chicken breasts ever. I generally shred half of the meat to make pulled chicken and keep the other half as whole breasts to slice or just eat.
It works every single time.)
 
Morning all and 3.4 for me. Whoops.

Late night last night. Event in York was a success. There were singers, a harp, a hurdy gurdy and me. Looks like it will happen again. As a bonus the chapel was heated and the acoustics were good.

Have a good day everyone.
