Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 7.6 here, Dawn has decided to pay me a visit, I was pottering along quite happily in the 5s for most of the night.
Had my annual blood tests, and have holes in both arms and a bruise on one, to show for it. Never happened to me before, but the nurse fumbled the second test tube as she was swapping over, and there was a loud hiss and the tube condensated up with just a small drop of blood in the bottom. I didn’t realise, the tubes are sealed with a vacuum inside, which means they draw the blood up better, I assume. Only she dislodged the needle in my arm a bit and let air in to the tube, so it blew! Having dislodged the needle, she had to start again on the other arm, and I’ve got a large bruise on the original.
Nurse was mortified, and so apologetic, she said that hasn’t happened to her for a long time. She’s certainly been doing my blood tests for at least ten years without previous mishap!

Ah, yes. The vacutainer system. I can always tell when my trust have 'rationalised' on equipment and changed to a cheaper supplier. I'm pretty good at taking blood normally but the new kit we have means holding the bottle at an awkward angle so as not to lose the vacuum - you can hear and feel when you do. My argument is that it's not an economy if you need twice the equipment!!

5.9 for me today. And a day covering a colleagues clinc. Well, me and a student. So, fingers crossed we don't run too far behind as it's busy!!
 
Morning all. A nice 5.7 to start my birthday.

@eggyg lovely photos. Have a good time.
@Grannylorraine i hope you have a better day at work today. Take care.
@Bloden i've never seen/heard of a flat christmas tree! I'll check them out as older daughter has never had a tree since she moved out. The cats would have a great time with it.

Have a good day everyone.

Happy birthday @freesia have a fab-u-lous day. :party:
 
Good morning so was 5.1 on getting up just after 6am
although didn’t sleep well and @04:46 woke for a bathroom visit and was 5.2
so can I claim that as a HS today ?

had a roofing company up on our roof yesterday, they replaced the RHS of the dormer, just now had a message from them they can come back and sort out the other side today
as you can see, it looks more aesthetically pleasing in UPVC but most importantly it should at last be watertight (everything crossed) the bill will be slightly higher than I hoped but still not to excessive so that’s one good thing :confused:

@Grannylorraine hope today is a better day at work for you, well done @ColinUK on not putting on weight whilst on holiday, did you bring us all back rock ? Happy Birthday @freesia

Have a Wonderful Wednesday everyone 😎

Morning everyone, a higher than average 6.2 for me on this nice sunny morning, it does make a pleasant change to see a clear blue sky and the sun shining I’ll perhaps do some work clearing up in the garden today.

Have a good day everyone and stay well.

Wrong side of the border with a 6.2 on a cool and damp Berkshire morning. Damn that tub of Cadbury's Heroes that appeared in the lounge yesterday. Opened the curtains to find our outside Xmas lights were merrily twinkling. They're on a timer switch and should have gone off at midnight. Couldn't see anything wrong with the switch but might swap it for another one. We have several.

My wife and our eldest are in their offices today and our youngest is about to leave for his shift at Tesco, so I'll be on me tod until tea time. Bliss - a rare day to myself..! I can wrap some Xmas presents while no one's around.

Happy Birthday @freesia - hope you have a good day and get thoroughly spoilt - and sort-of congrats @goodybags

Have a good day, all.
