Group 7-day waking average?

[Wendal]

Morning a 7.1 after usual Pizza.
Quiet day yesterday but busy night as wife did not feel 100% so stayed inside whilst I did a few chores.
Collected Pizza even though Xmas outdoor market cancelled and had to rush through it to pick son up from work.Late change of plan as his partner stayed in Barnsley with parents after her dad had to go in hospital and their dog ended up being euthanised so a bad night in their household.
Only one word to describe taking dogs out this morning-horrible.
But all cosy and warm now but not sure about straying too far from home as all dictated by the weather.
Stay warm,stay dry but above all stay safe.

Good morning everyone

BG 5.5 high for me but not complaining.

Hip is improved but the healing is taking forever...

Yesterday was spent doing a lot of recordings and retakes. It went reasonably well. I still have to sort out one part of the song today, the chorus, just minor changes to the chords.

Later on, if the wind and rain settle down I have to go out to get supplies. My first trip out for a week. Then later on I have to go to the church to do the sound, so that will be 2 trips out today. I hope I don't wreck my hip again.

I wonder if I should contact the surgery as my 6 month blood tests should have been done in November. Thankfully, besides my hips, everything seems to be ok, so maybe I will just leave it.
No point in waking the dragon...



Have a great day today whatever you are doing

Morning all, 4.3 here.
It sounds wet and wild outside. We have to take son to Heathrow soon, that is, if his flight's going! Otherwise I wouldn’t be venturing out.

Morning all from puppy land. 5 month old Marcel (son's puppy) arrived on Thursday evening so it's all been a bit chaotic what with our 3 including our 11 week old Elsa. Actually yesterday was much better than I'd feared as they start to get used to each other and realising they need sleeps. We're glad we live in a Cumbrian Longhouse as we've got plenty of space to spread them out if needed. Mucky weather not helping and it's wild out there now. I was meant to be going on a trip to Blackpool today with my Mum in a mini-bus from her village, but it's been cancelled. I think the mini-bus driver who organised it realised it wouldn't be great if the storm meant he was stuck on the M6 hard shoulder with a bunch of 55-85 year old women! 6.4 this morning. My TIR has improved a lot this week since my Diabetes course on Tuesday when we decided that I would start to bolus for my breakfast as well as my evening meal. Last night I was concerned I may have double dosed on Novorapid as I've got some really annoying needles and I reckon the insulin didn't go into me on the first shot as there was quite a bit of liquid sitting in the nozzle - so I re-did it. I felt as though I was going low but that must have been psychological because it stayed in the green, so I was right to do it again. Have a good day everyone and stay out of the weather if you can - sending positive vibes to our Welsh friends as I think you're getting it bad by all accounts.

Good moaning/morning! Jolted awake by Phantom Pain that would not settle so hoping painkiller cuts in soon. Might try the odd Wordle. BTW BG 9.7 (97 is highest two digit prime).

Other foot also a bit sore as previous dressing was too tight but will report in thread - a slight step back after recent gains. Was a long day as arrived 1.5 hours early, on time appointment and 3+hour wait after plus journey time as local Podiatry Clinic was booked out.

Cloudy (no visible star) and chilly.

Good morning II! Woke to a 9.7 again at around 8:00am. Looks like it dropped to about 7 at 6:00 and crept up again. DF and DP probably playing around

Still very cloudy but joined by mizzle with occasional gusts if wind!

Morning all from a very wet and very windy Rydal. 5.4.

The River Rothay has well and truly burst it’s banks. We aren’t going anywhere today, which is a shame, but we don’t want to be that couple on the news that have had to be helicoptered down from a fell or rescued from a swollen river! Foolhardy to leave the warmth and safety of our little apartment. Lots of reading will be done. Mr Eggy will get itchy feet, he’s not a big reader, he’ll do a lot of looking out of the window!

Had a good day yesterday, glad we decided to bag our Wainwright when we did, we’ve been keeping a close eye on the weather and although tomorrow is forecast mostly dry, Darragh will still be hanging around so not good for climbing fells. A flat ( ish) walk tomorrow.

Keep safe everyone especially @Bloden and @TinaD ( hope you’ve got Peaches tied down!)

Not many photos from yesterday, it was a bit dull.

Windermere from the summit of Loughrigg Fell.
Grasmere from Loughrigg terrace.
One of three Hercules having a bit fun over the Lakes.
Ambleside on the way up to the summit.
Still a bit of autumn colour.

@eggyg just realised I should have put in an order of Grasmere Gingerbread!

 

[MeeTooTeeTo]

A 5.7 for me after a wet and windy night.
Hoping all our members in Wales are safe and well. 🙂

Do we have to put in an order for puppy pics?

 

[eggyg]

@eggyg just realised I should have put in an order of Grasmere Gingerbread!

We’re not coming home until Monday. I can pop in for you. We’ve not got as far as Grasmere village yet, was thinking maybe tomorrow or Monday on the way home. Ping me your order. Xx

5.7 for me on a very windy Berkshire morning, though no rain to speak of yet. Noticed when I got up that the cover on our garden furniture had blown away. Had visions of it being somewhere down the road but found it in a corner of the garden - phew!

Our two boys have tickets for Luton v Swansea, so they'll be setting off later. Hopefully the game won't be a victim of the weather. Some matches are postponed already, including the Merseyside Derby. My wife and I planned on heading over to nearby Henley-on-Thames today to do a bit of Xmas shopping, but maybe not if the weather's bad. There's no indoor shopping mall in Henley.

Hope Darragh's not giving anyone grief. Have a good day and stay safe.

Morning All

4.8 and no plans today due to the weather, I will stay home and crotchet. Hubby has to work later so will be a bit of a challenge for him getting there as the Dartford Bridge is closed, and although they are using one of the tunnels it always causes traffic jams where we live, might also affect the amount of lorrys arriving at the depot.

Hoping everyone is staying safe, especially @TinaD and @Bloden or any other of our forum friends who are in the worst of the storm.

Good morning - 4.3

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all. 6.3 for me on waking. Unsettled night because the storm winds kept waking me up. My internet connection went down just before breakfast and is only now back up again. I'm just thankful that my power didn't go out and that my street is showing no signs of damage - some of the gusts we had overnight were in excess of 110km/h.

 

[TinaD]

Good morning. 7.4 on rising but had been awake for 3 hours. The soundscape raised expectations of Cathy running across the paddocks shouting for Heathcliff.

So far all well, roofs still on, hatches remain battened. Wolf and Peachy OK, minor power cut overnight but up and running now. I forgot to bring in my plastic weeding chair - hopefully it has gone to join its little friend the weeding bag, currently bobbing frustratedly against the sheep netting. It is great living near the coast but I prefer for the wind to be a little less than Beaufort Scale 8. Over an inch in the Dog bowl this morning and a little sideways rain persisting down.

Stay safe everyone - be sensible like @eggyg and read a book until the storm abates.

 

[freesia]

Morning all. 8.3. Here we have wind and heavy rain so all i plan to do today is wrap some presents and read or crochet. Stay warm, dry and safe everyone.

 

[khskel]

Morning all and 7.2 for me.

Evening bolus is having a wander around at the moment. Hopefully get it right to night.

Looks like we're not getting the worst of the storm here but don't have to go out anyway.

Went for my prescription and no Creon but as I got the arrears from my previous prescription I'm ok for now.

Have a good day everyone.

 

[goodybags]

Hello weekend 6.6 today
a lay in following a disturbed nights sleep, ok so we’re not in the thick of it here, but still it woke us both up, just weighed myself no weight loss this week, I know I need more excercise, even though I’ve been at work Tuesday through to yesterday wasn’t physically active rally this week.

Hope everybody’s safe, warm & dry whilst Darren throws everything he’s got at us

TC 😎

5.4 this morning.

Bit windy here, thought we’d lost the bbq cover but thankfully I had tied it to one of the bbq legs and it was still there, just blown off the bbq itself. Thankfully no other damage, I dread looking out at the garden first thing and worry the fences will have blown down.

Stay safe everyone, hope everyone is ok, especially our Welsh friends who seem to be bearing the worst of Storm Darragh.

 

[Barrowman]

Morning everyone from a very wet and windy Bedfordshire. It was a 4.8 for me earlier this morning and I’m not even going out of the house while this wind is blowing.

All you folks that are getting the worst weather stay in and stay safe.
