Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 🙂 7.7 here.

Spending the weekend at my mum's to celebrate her birthday on Monday. Elder brother arriving today and other one + SIL coming tomorrow. SIL is bringing a Middle Eastern cake that she makes for celebrations - nuts, rose water, figs, LUSH.

The puppy was super-mega-OTT excited to see me this morning - she's not a fan of sleeping in a strange kitchen! I'll tire both dogs out with a long walk, then I'm meeting the old gang from school for a coffee.

It's warm & slightly wet outside but I'm relieved I won't be going home to a parched garden!
 
Morning all A wet rainy day. Am going out today dont care if its raining will go by taxi. You all have a good safe day. Take care everyone
PS nearly forgot bg was 6.3
 
Morning 6.6 today, up early for no particular reason today other than home needs a major sort out tidy up

No I’m not going to be retired (for those that are asking) at least not for about 7 more years maybe, just doing something slightly less (I hope) stressful - at until if I decide to look for work in a totally different industry maybe 🙄

There’s no football program happening today, the organisers are joining a walking group up in the Peak District this weekend.

tomorrow will be the end of a week without insulin, so far my Libra is showing 92% TIR (for last 7 days so fingers crossed that continues) very different to a year ago.

TC 😉
 
Morning all, 5.6 here.
We’ve had overnight rain too, a whole 6mm according to our neighbours weather station! I planted my french beans and courgettes out yesterday, so I was hoping it would! I left all the stuff I’d grown from seed in pots while we were on holiday, so it was easier for daughter to water them, then when we got back, it was so dry, I kept them where they were. Need to plant out my cosmos today, and sow some runner beans direct into the ground.
 
Been a busy few days but I’m back with a 5.2! Not sure why it dropped just before waking, but I’ll take that!

Had the grandchildren yesterday which meant the day whooshed by so fast. We’re having a day in today to do some bits and pieces we have not got around to - photo frames on the stair wall, choosing and ordering photos, sorting out photos from the camera after our Peak District and my wife wants to add some more clothes to her Vinted shop!

My exam result has now been uploaded to the Ofcom website which allowed me to apply and choose a call sign, I now have 2E0TFY.

@goodybags - so glad things are going well for you, I’m sure finishing at your job will help your MH and must feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders.

Take care everyone and have a great weekend.
 
A 5.8 for me this wet and windy Saturday. 🙂

And well done Tony @Eternal422 on your House Special.

A 5.3 this morning which was encouraging then fell off the wagon by scoffing half a piece of walnut and carrot cake mid-morning when visiting Petersham Nurseries in Richmond to buy some herbs. I should have taken a shot to compensate but didn’t. Hey ho. Great cake, even better plants despite high prices and high BS.

Not been to Petersham Nurseries in about 10 years. Everything about it is gorgeous. Lost their Michelin star though I think now. Most go back and not buy any plants from there sometime!
 
About 06:40 ish BS 7.1. Tried to get some more sleep but, getting up now & BS still in the 7’s BS 7.7 because I’m still horizontal BS did rise to 9 after loo trip earlier but, settled back down again.

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Had a pretty good sleep last night & no nightmares! Fancy a bit of butter on my toast now! 😛
 
6.4

Bought pepto-bismol and Imodium dual action yesterday to try and calm my stomach down. So after spending £20 on that lot at Boots it’s been behaving itself with not even a suggestion of a gurgle. They’ll go in the cupboard for when I need them.

Went to a social coffee morning thing yesterday then to the flicks to see the new Mission Impossible. First act is clunky exposition but the rest of it is great!

Today’s a two show day, all at the National Theatre though. Matinee of Dear England (which is about the England football team I understand) followed by Here We Are, the final Sondheim that he left unfinished.

A fiend will come meet me for coffee etc in the gap between the shows.

Ooh what kind of fiend are they? 😛
 
Morning

5.0 today, but did have an ice-cream yesterday evening, my excuse, it was to soothe my itchy, tickling throat and stop me coughing. Going out for a meal today as it’s hubby’s birthday, the family are all coming round for a get together on Monday as that was the only day everyone was available, so he will get his lemon drizzle cake then.

@goodybags - well done on your decision our MH is so important. Hope what you are moving onto is less stressful

@Eternal422 - congratulations on your HS today.
 
5.8, same as yesterday, on a rather damp & grey Berkshire morning. Typical BH weekend weather.

My wife's gone off on a day trip to Bath with 3 of her friends, letting the train take the strain as they used to say, and our eldest is golfing over in Basingstoke with 11 mates, having left early as they were teeing off at 08:30. Our youngest has just got up and is being picked up shortly and heading off to Andover for an Airsoft session (similar to Paintball, but with soft pellets). So, it looks like I have much of the day to myself. Championship Play-off Final is on TV this afternoon so I need to get my trip into town, and then over to Bracknell, out of the way beforehand.

Well done @Eternal422 on today's HS, and good to hear that life's taking a turn for the better @goodybags

Have a good start to the weekend.
 
Morning all - dull and dreary as it is!

7.1 - after a low (4.3) in the night.

Off to the county town today to Matalan to get some cropped trousers. Whilst I haven't gained any weight over the winter my body has changed altogether. I've lost weight off my arms/legs/bottom and hips and gained it on my tummy and midriff. Not a great shape at all... and none of my cropped trousers or casual cotton ones, nor my shorts fit, so I am having to buy a new summer wardrobe! Fortunately I found shorts that fit in Matalan and also a pair of cropped trousers... so off to see if they have any more of the same trousers, perhaps in another colour!

Glad to see Goodybags in a better place. Work stress is just the worst!

Congrats to @Eternal422 on your HS

I notice @TinaD hasn't posted for a few days, hope she is OK.

Have a good day all!
 
@Lanny meant to say to you that Confit duck leg is quite a different thing to crispy duck that goes in pancakes. It is parts of duck preserved in the duck's own fat - it is not oil that comes out of it, but duck fat when you cook it. The way to cook it is to put it skin side down in a cold pan and then heat the pan, the fat will come out and you scoop it off and use it to cook your roast potatoes in. You cook it for about 6 minutes like that, turn it for 4 mins and then put it in a hot oven for approx another 4 mins. It's quite a delicacy in France.
