Group 7-day waking average?

6.2

Mind racing a bit overnight. C’est tout.
 
Good morning folks. And in the words of Britney, oops I did it again. 5.2! Two in three days, and you know what, I actually had a good night’s sleep. I only woke twice, 3.40 and 5.20 but nodded back off until 7.20! It’s a miracle, I’m off to buy a Euro Millions ticket! 😉

Having a walk today, we’re going to start where we left off on the King Charles 111 England Coast Path last time. This time we’ll actually get to the sea, the Solway, and follow it towards Scotland, we won’t quite cross the border though, but we’ll be close. Only about 6/7 miles Mr Eggy reckons, so that means 11/12 probably! I just follow him blindly!

@Grannylorraine fingers crossed you get through to the GPs , I misread it and thought it said you were going to hold onto the doctor as you felt dizzy. Must go to Specsavers!
@Robin enjoy your trip to the Coop and Mason!

Have a Happy Monday everyone.

Go to Arnside it’s lovely. Grange over Sands is quaint and definitely a retirees paradise. Not done Silverdale yet but easily accessible from Arnside. If you’re lucky you might get to see the Arnside bore. No, not the Cumbrian Victor Meldrew! They sound a klaxon to make sure you’re off the sands. Enjoy. Xx
Edited to add; if you go to Silloth park at the RNLI car park and follow the promenade to Skinburness and walk around Grune point, one of our fave walks, we get fish and chips at the end and watch the sunset. One of the best in the world in my humble opinion.

Arnside lovely but have mixed memories as last time there we did the Morecambe Bay walk and ploughed ahead as we had to make a bus timetable. I wanted to enable my wife who I presumed was just behind was not too late so I could ensure we had some transport.
Well she was some way behind me and had fallen in the mud and was not happy that I had abandoned her.
To say it was frosty on the journey home was an understatement and it took a few ways for her feelings to subside.
She reminds me about it at certain occasions like Xmas and Birthdays- can’t think why?

One of the most irritating scam/spam e-mails must be this one. The guy in the picture does remind me a bit of comedian John Richardson doing an impersonation of Frank Spencer's "Oooh Betty". :rofl:
Well done @eggyg on another HS. My reading was 6.2 today.

Morning all

Congrats on the HS @eggyg

I’ll join the others on the ‘one out’ step with a 5.3 today.
 
12.1 for me i had a full roast dinner last night so i recon that the diabetic lady was at work and kicking me in the behind
 
Good morning. 6.9 - could be that I did the animals first or the pint of squash I drank at 0300 hrs. These high figures are annoying me but didn't stop me eating pizza last night...

Decided against the neighbouring house - it needs a lot of work which, withthe current cost of building works defeats the object, Saw another one which might do, rather an eccentric house but good position> Ccntingent on local farmer not raising his price on adjoining field.

Hope everyone doing well - I'll be back to catch up on reading later.
 
I'm another one who's just missed out on an HS - 5.3 this morning, same as yesterday. I did get a postprandial HS yesterday evening but I know that doesn't count. Congrats @eggyg on yours.

Our youngest was up and out early this morning as he starts at Tesco today. I expect it will be more induction than work for his first day. He's been given 25 hours a week, spread across Monday, Wednesday and Sunday, which is not far off the hours he worked at Sainsbury's, although it works out better for him as it's across 3 days rather than 5, with no evenings.

I like the Peanuts Choir pic @Gwynn but with your musical talent I always imaged you to be more Schroeder:-

My least favourite day - 3 WFH - which means trying to keep out of everyone's way and not making a noise if they're on a call. Might book a swim for today rather than tomorrow, and have lunch in town.

Have a good start to the week.
 
Morning everyone, a 5.3 for me today, off to the dentist now so have a good day everyone and stay safe.
.
 
Morning all on another grey day.

6.5 at 07:45.

Going to make a moussaka today to put in the freezer for later this week when we have friends staying. I'll serve it with a Greek Salad. Easy if we've all been out for the day. Apart from that I have very little on.

Love reading about everyone's lives on here.

Congrats to @eggyg on your HS.

Have a good day all.
 
Good morning! Many hours ago I woke to a HS. Since then had to sort out an outpatient issue (but have I/they?). Also trying to sort some payments in parallel.

No appointments today - thank goodness - but home visit tomorrow (twixt 8:00 and 18:00) following silly o'clock and early doors next two days.

Cloudy but not raining - so far.

Brings back memories! When I was at Lancaster University years (ago now!) I remember going to Jenny Brown’s Point near Silverdale to Wolfhouse Galleries, then a lovely craft place that had loads of candles, pottery, etc. not sure if it’s still there but then was worth a visit!
 
Good morning all! 5.9 today for me.

Just a walk today down to the river lock and back to get some daylight and enjoy the outside for a bit!

Congratulations for yesterday’s HSs : @Grannylorraine and @Barrowman and to today’s: @eggyg and @MikeyBikey !

Have a good day!
 
@Martin.A for some reason I really like singing, almost as much as playing the keyboard. I am not sure I am as good as Schroeder. He does amazing things on such a small piano ... real skill!!

Afternoon folks.
Only just tested and it's 10.1
GP has put me on another med to help lower my bg. Seems to be working albeit slowly. Downside is it makes me nauseous. Yuk!
Off for my flu jab later today.
No likey these dark evenings ~ roll on Spring.
Take care everyone.

Congrats : @eggyg and @MikeyBikey on your HS, no such luck here at 8.4!

Been playing about profusely on my new pc and laptop, mainly the laptop... a real Learning Curve, not as bad as I was surmising a couple of days ago.

I haven't posted for a while as I fell ill again, feeling better today. Yesterday was a right-off with migraines and darkened rooms all day and last night; leaving me a bit headachy this a.m.
