Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 5.1 here, so close!
I’m attending a funeral today, and it’s going to be scorchio. Had to cobble together something blackish and smartish from my not very extensive wardrobe. Funerals are normally winter events, and I have a nice thick black coat for the occasion, not today, though!. (Funeral is for an elderly cousin who had a lot of health and mobility problems latterly, so not a sad occasion, but a chance to catch up with wider family.)
 
It was quite shocking actually because it is a true story about the murder of a 14 year old in Canada by her peers. Riley Keogh is in it (Elvis's granddaughter).

Have a good day everyone.
Sounds good will watch this weekend cheers for that

Good morning 7.3 today, wish it was the weekend but no one more day at work
it will be a most welcome lay for me tomorrow

Thank a crunchy it’s almost the weekend
 
6.1

Today will be spent mainly in contact with Pharmulous and others and trying to stockpile a bundle of Mounjaro pens to get me through titrating down from 15mg to 5mg. Why? Well thanks to Trump the price is going up from 1st September by approximately 170%. I was entering maintenance anyway and had planned to move down in strength and hopefully settle on a 5 or 7.5mg dose but I was ok if I needed to maintain at 15 as well. With the huge price increase that’s not really something I’ll want to do as finding £380/month is a totally different thing to spending £150 a month.

I’ll distract myself by watching the latest episode of Destination X, a programme I actually quite enjoy. The contestants do seem a little clueless but gameplay is starting to come out and that’s interesting to watch.
There’s an American version that was filmed at the same time and is also in Europe. Apparently they display the knowledge of European geography and history that we’d expect random Americans to have. Can’t wait!

@goodybags A Very Happy Birthday! :party:

Yum, yum jelly & ice cream! Did I ever tell you I love jelly as it’s one of those foods that make me happy! Especially since I’ve been on the normal with sugar: was on the sugar free sachets with artificial sweeteners for YEARS; the SF tasted a bit strange as all artificial sweeteners do & didn’t set as properly nor was it stable as it turned back to liquid pretty quickly! 😛:D
By adding frozen berries and using a quarter less water it seems to set fine and doesn't taste too much of the artificial sweeteners.
The lemon and lime one with mandarin oranges (in juice) is really refreshing.
 
How about for a bit of fun if people who test in the mornings post their waking levels? I think it would be interesting to see what the average works out at after a week 🙂

I'll start with mine - I was 6.0 when I woke up this morning 🙂

(please don't let me be the only person to enter one! 😉)
4.7 this morning and 7 day average unflickering at 5.7. It was 6.3 at bedtime and had a slice of toast as told to go to bed on 8 or 9 about 20 years ago. Folklore or what ?
 
5.6 for me today.

I was hot overnight too @MikeyBikey - be glad when this over-warm continental air moves on. I’m enjoying the warm and dry days, but the evenings and overnights are just a little too hot!
