Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all and I forgot to look at my score first thing but it was a 7.2 pre breakfast so it can't have been too bad.

Looks like I've managed to fit everything in my bags. Just got a couple of sax mouthpieces to squeeze in.

Last rehearsal tonight and then off to Sweden in the morning.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Oops! 😳 Forgot to press the button, again, to post this earlier; in too much of a hurry! Ah well, post it now.

11.08 BS 8.4

A Very G’Day, now, Mates to you all & hope you’re having a Wonderful Day! 😉

Now adding this extra bit, since I AM making sure I press that button, which you don’t have to read! :rofl:

Spent yesterday watching online the 1988 Pierce Brosnan production of Noble House & it was a very slick production, which I remembered it being, but, unfortunately the videos online were only 360p so, very bad quality, low resolution, badly faded & the brightness levels kept going down & obviously back up: only noticed the sudden dimness & not the really the brightness! 😱

Also, looked up, on google, the 1980 Richard Chamberlain production of Shogun & it was actually an American production that the BBC aired in 1982. It WAS available on Paramount+ so, got the 7 days free trail to watch it as THAT one, as was “Noble House”, had James Clavell as an Executive Producer. But, unfortunately it’s now no longer available & just as well it was a free trail. It’s now on Amazon Prime to buy for £7.99 which I bought. It was televised in 5 parts of 2 hours & on Amazon it’s spilt into 6 shorter parts. Started watching it late last night & I fell asleep: NOT because it was bad; just the semiconscious mind state when watching film or TV that sends me to sleep fast if I’m tired at all! The video quality is vastly better &, as of the American TV of the 80’s that I remember, the colours are SO rich: it was worlds apart from the semi washed out colours of British TV back then; I can see & appreciate it properly having bought it on Amazon Prime! <3 It’s mostly in English as well & a rather interesting little snippet of info; it was the first time the word “****” was used on TV which the production had to get special permission to use as in the scene, in the book too, where a Japanese samurai says to the English sailor John Blackthorne “I **** on you & your country!” & proceeding to do just that!; those were more innocent times! :rofl: It’s reminiscent to me of the huge fines the studio had to pay for the word “Damn” in Gone With The Wind: the studio tried all sorts of alternatives; in the end ONLY the immortal line “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn!” would do! o_O:rofl: So, they paid up & the rest, as they say, was history! :D<3

The FX version of Shogun on Disney+ also had the late James Clavell’s daughter as an executive producer as well & she spoke about her dad on one of the podcast episodes. Of course THIS production is more authentic Japanese as it’s mostly in Japanese: the 80’s production is easier to watch mostly in English; two different productions that each have their merit! 🙂

Thanks for your kind concern. I am very recently back on the low carb wagon after several months of comfort eating and piling on weight. Trying to briskly walk 5-6 miles every day to help with reducing insulin needs and thereby weight reduction. It will come off slower than it went on but at least the process has started.
Hope everyone else here is as well as they can be. X
 
4.6 this morning had a couple of stressful days, as some of you know my dad passed away last year and my estranged sister didn't tell me, long story short, I was eventually asked to agree for her to go to probate instead of through solicitors
I was led to believe that he had no money and they had sold his house to pay for the care home, it turned out to be completely untrue and my brother who didn't know I was in the dark, anyway I agree to go to probate and asked to see the will which she had to show me, the Probate completed on Monday and my. sister other text me for my bank details which I sent to her and asked what happens now,I am not on good terms with her, so I got a abrupt reply saying when so she goes to the banks with the probate and dads will they will pay the care home and the rest will be divided by the 4 of us but it won't be before the end of July, she told my brother she was going to the bank sometime this week but as far as she is concerned I have no right to question her, I feel like I am in the wrong for even asking, both my sisters are not short of money so if they decide to delay taking the paper to dads bank wouldn't surprise me, since my brother has given me a rough idea of what we will get its life changing to us both, and to top it off Its my hubbies 6 month scan and its 4 years now since he was told he would live more than 2 years then we have a 2 weeks wait for the results. so sorry for ranting I just needed to off load .
 
7.4 earlier on, before it rose to 8.6 and stayed there all day, even now it's nearer to 9 than 8 - I wonder if I'm coming down with something as I've been under the weather most of the day; my wife too. We are thinking we're coming down with something of the chickenpox strain, possibly shingles.

I went out for a couple of walks earlier but I didn't really get off the area. I wanted to go down to the prom but the sweats got in the way and I was off balance for a lot of the afternoon. We're feeling a lot better now and my appetite has returned - hopefully I won't be guzzling at midnight. Hopefully we won't be down with a lurgy tomorrow. We're very tired tonight and we won't be long to our bed.

Hopefully you'll have a peaceful night. >>SS
